Utah have only 16 wins and 60 losses.

Only 6 games left. They are unlikely to even get 20 wins this season. They were a .500 team a year and a bit ago until they started dumping quality role players off that team. Fun to watch back then too.

16 wins is terrible.

I know Danny is tanking hard for Flagg, but that team should still have more than 16 wins. They have some talented players with Markkanen, Collins, Kessler, Clarkson, George, Sexton. Not sure how Hardy still has a job, tbh.

Those guys aren't really playing consistently. Yeah it looks good, but there are nights usually 2 or 3 of those guys don't play and it's almost like a rotation. It got so obvious that the NBA fined them for Markannen sitting a game out lol. They are now basically ruling guys out the rest of the year too.

NBA issued warnings ? no further penalties ? to Grizzlies' Ja Morant and Warriors' Buddy Hield along with both teams for gestures on Tuesday night, sources tell ESPN. League ruled the celebrations were not intended to be violent in nature, but inappropriate and should refrain.

I'm sure this is only a coincidence given their current lottery situation.

Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey is expected to be ruled out for the rest of the season with a finger tendon injury, sources tell ESPN. Maxey has been sidelined since March 3 and has attempted to rehab the finger, but still is dealing with discomfort and needs treatment.

Why do you say that? I think a small market team would be good for Cooper. Philly and Brooklyn would be a terrible place for him to land, IMO. Suns and Spurs are almost .500 teams. They aren?t getting the first pick in the draft.

Like Zion to New Orleans? He was the most hyped prospect since LeBron and LeBron went to Cleveland!  :laugh:

I think it has more to do with fit, which is likely why Wemby ended up in San Antonio, another smaller market team. It was the best place for him to go and develop, though.

Ideally, the league would like him in a larger market.  That's for sure. However, the lottery isn't rigged so he's gonna end up wherever the ping pong balls fall.  League will make due with wherever he ends up in regards to national TV appearances next season.

Anthony Edwards just injured himself stepping on a Brooklyn coach's foot after finishing a 3 point shot.  Definite accident but looked bad.  Sounds like an ankle injury.

I?d actually really like to see him on the Wizards and that is a big market (but not successful). Their young players look pretty decent and they also now have solid vets in Smart and Middleton. Orlando got #1 with Banchero after tearing down their team. They looked better last year, but still have a nice foundation. I could see the same thing with WAS

Deni Avdija has been on fire lately. Last 10 games, he?s averaging: 25pts, 10rebs, 6ast on 51/46/79 shooting splits.

That exchange is why I can't stand Luka. On defense, he has a lazy closeout, fouls Curry on a 3, and then won't stop whining until he gets a tech.

On the other side of the court, he flops and the refs award him with 3 free throws.
