TANKINGS

[Alex English]

What a tight race in the Tankings. Only 2.5 games separate 6th and 12th in the lottery.

Does our lottery work the same way the NBA does? the 14 teams that don't make the playoffs get put into the lottery?

If so, technically the tankings are skewed; Milwaukee, Indiana, and New York are all playoff bound at the moment. And the Clippers are the 14th team in the lottery.

If you make the playoffs, you don't make the lottery.

Alright Ian, thank you. I just wanted to point out that the Tankings section is skewed for people looking at it, but it is still a great guideline of who is in place to get the top 10 picks or so. Just have to be careful when looking to see who is in line for the 10-14th picks or so.

Season's halfway done and GSW have only 4 losses. With 8 losses in total they'd be 74 - 8
