2024-2025 Tank Race

How is the East so bad every year? The 3-seed is a .500 team and they have four three teams with two wins. It seems mathematically impossible.

Anyway, let’s keep losing please.
 
I told y’all that these teams with extreme depth aren’t the massive tankers you thought they were. Teams that have 9-10 real NBA players are going to win some games. Trades are bound to happen, but in the meantime teams like POR, BKN, DET etc can be competitive on any given night.
 
At some point Philly may actually enter the tank race and be dirty about it as they keep their pick if it lands top 6.

Obviously we are not even close to that and climbing out of East cellar shouldnt be too tough.. but their season has gone pretty far off the rails thus far and if they keep losing even with Embiid back then I could see them skipping this year to fortify their nearby and long term future. They have all 3 of Embiid, George and Maxey under contract for the next 4 years so they have plenty of window left even if they deem they arent contenders this year.
 
Doesn't look like Portland or SA are going to be competition at the very bottom. I think we keep our bottom 3 status pretty easily since we have much tougher strength of schedule than any of the bad eastern teams, even if we out-talent them by a bit.
