Amazing. Not very surprising, but still. Dolan gonna Dolan.

edit:

I liked that part about win streaks on the latest Simmons podcast. It's flat out hard to win 5 or 6 in a row. Winning 20+ is absurd.

Heat won 27 in a row in 2013, Rockets won 22 in 2008, SAS won 20 in 2012, 2015 ATL/2014 SAS/2009 BOS all won 19. These were all good teams though (Houston was the worst, a 55 win team that year). Miami's 12 game streak is definitely the most improbable.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
What's even more absurd is that the heat are winning with basically their 3rd string wings and pf at this point. Dion waiters didn't even play against the bucks and they were destroying them way before jabari being injured.

Why the gently caress did they have a guy write an article that just ranks the point guards in the player tracking categories?

He lost me at "Playing point guard in the NBA is like playing a video game" but I always welcome more data that shows that IT should have started over Kyrie in the Pesto Bowl. I mean all-star game.

Rockets lost Yao midway through theirs and still won like 10 more games, it was nuts. they were giving major minutes to Chuck Hayes and a 40+ Dikembe Mutombo, and winning every game by 15 points.
