A few days before the end of the regular season, the NBA split into two very distinct groups. On the one hand the short-term ambitious teams, whose goal is therefore to win games, we agree, and on the other a few franchises whose ambitions are clearly turned towards the Draft, all the more so in this year which should crown Victor Wembanyama with the status of first pick.
The results of the night
Le Tankathon 2023
Good operation of the day – everyone: we are clearly in the home stretch of this regular season and when you tank you are not pretending AT ALL. The Blazers took part in the Kings’ party, the Pacers took 400 points from the Bucks, the Rockets quietly left the game to the Nets, the Pistons left the last rebound to Jalen Williams and the Spurs let Talen Horton-Tucker be LeBron James. They no longer pretend AT ALL, we said.
Bad trade of the day – Magic: inevitably, when you don’t play you don’t lose, and if the Magic were aiming for one of the three worst records at the start of the season, the Florida franchise might be ejected from the Top 6, or even the Top 7 of our tankathon national. Come on guys, shit, abundance of goods doesn’t harm, we’re still not going to spit on a French Alien, are we?
