2024-2025 Tank Race

The season is still so early. Philly and New Orleans both have the talent to win 65% of their remaining games when healthy. That is plenty to catchup and make a playoff run.

I don't see either team calling it until at least mid season.

I wouldn't doubt the pelicans. I just read an article that 90%+ of their player payroll is out.... and 'for a while.' Their whole team is out with hamstring strains.... literally
 
We either sit Lauri/Collins or give a heavy dose of Cody in order to lose against SAS. I know they just pulled off a miracle, but they’re rolling out a 10 win kind of squad tonight.

We won't. We winning tonight. FML how are the Sixers so bad when they are trying and we win on accident.

Sixers and Pelicans both feel like the teams that may let go of the rope if things don't turn around. Won't be hard with the injury history of their stars.

This will be a tank battle to the end and we need to get gross... like we need to draw at least one fine or investigation this year or we didn't go far enough.
 
Damn the laws in my state. This game is pretty much free money. I'd bet the Jazz straight up... SA currently 2.5 pt favorites.
 
Washington, Toronto, New Orleans are right there with us. Philly needs to turn things around fast or they'll likely just flush their season. And there's your bottom 5.

When Embiid introduced his new free throw routine preseason (putting his fingers in his *** and then smelling them before giving and approving look) he made it clear he likes the smell of his own farts. Now yesterday Tyrese Maxey called him out specifically for being late for every team meeting and session and said that is affecting the locker room.

Add to that the fact that the conditioning callout by that reporter definitely hit a sore spot and the few games he has played he has been absolutely gassed and not as physical as before (had his first 0 FT game since 2018), its obvious Joel isnt being totally serious right now.
 
NOP are 5 games out of the play in. Need to survive the next two weeks with a skeleton crew but likely looking at being like 8-9 games out of the play in when Dejounte gets back. They are cooked but hopefully don't realize it and try so hard to be scrappy in December/January.

In 2021-22 they started 2-14 and went 34-32 the rest of the way. They have blown good tanks before.
