tbh I think the Mavs should get a tank exemption cause if you want to keep superstars in non-marquee markets they gotta get dirty once in a while. it'd be a case by case basis

a lot of fans buy tickets months to a year in advance. depriving several nights' worth of attendees of a good game for a late lottery pick you might blow anyway is a bad business practice, and since the nba is a profit sharing cartel it can't let its various branches go pissing off fans willy nilly

if the nba didn't want individual late
season games to be so meaningless that teams will arbitrarily decide not to play them maybe there shouldn't be 82 games with multiple back-to-backs in a season

maybe the league should randomly pick one game to count times ten toward your final season record but they don’t announce which game until after the seasons over

the 65 game minimum for individual awards is probably intended as a way to make sure guys play late in the season if they're available

There's been reporting that the thing Anderson was riding Gobert for all game was not blocking shots, which apparently struck a nerve because Rudy has been inexplicably much worse at that this year.

I was halfway through a post about how the Celtics starting lineup for the last game of regular season was 4 white guys and White, but it didn't quite work out because Blake Griffin is actually mixed

lol a lot of the guys they put in that category also couldn't really hit 3s, or at least not at a worthwhile rate but they just also didn't have a post game and couldn't beat anyone off the dribble

nba analytics guy looking at a career 30.1% 3 pt shooter: definitely a 3 and D guy
