I’d be shocked if they don’t. Although, I guess top 6 only are guaranteed to be in the playoffs and not the play in tourney
I say it only because it is only a few games from being a top 4 team to suddenly finding yourself in the play in spots so a quick slide and they could easily go from 3rd to 7th or something. Not saying it'll happen or that I think it necessarily will, but that they just need to maintain their top 6 spots to break that drought of theirs

Yeah, or come out of the play in tourney with a spot. Obviously, not what they would prefer to do

Lol Shannon Sharpe sitting court side started running his mouth at the grizzlies and Steven Adam’s was trying to get to him and give him some smoke

Even Tee Morant(Ja’s dad) got up and was coming for Sharpe.

Memphis don’t play that bullshit

Sharpe needs to sit his over opinionated old ass down

Oh no!!!!

Did Shannon sharpe get a hold of your account??

How dare a team lose a road game after winning 11 in a row!!

Also, since I know you weren’t watching the actual game, I’ll mention how terrible the refs were in the 2nd half

Wizards trade Rui Hachimura to the Lakers for Kendrick Nunn and 3 2nds (one of which happens to be the Bulls' 2023 2nd)

You know how much I gamble and score keepers are the worst. Its a judgement call especially on assist.

They have a hand in these games and now they are nuking odds left and right.

I missed a big parlay with Westbrook the other night because he wasnt credited with a 6th assist.

He passed the ball to Lebron and Lebron paused for a second and made a 3. No assist. I get that is touchy on the rules but I have seen that credited by other scorekeepers.

Wait, you mean the team that has the best home record in the NBA but a losing record on the road has players that play better at home than on the road?!?!?

My god, that is absolutely shocking!!!
The issue isn't that JJ Jr might be playing better at home.. it's that it seems his stats are being wildly inflated by the home scorekeeper. There are several video examples within that thread of him being credited with stats he has no business being credited with..

And it isn't quite like Silence's Westbrook example where an assist sometimes gets credited within a second and sometimes doesn't.

Figured you'd first look at all the evidence prior to going into full defensive mode.

Defensive mode?! Hardly

Just merely pointing out the FACTS that they play better at home than on the road by a wide discrepancy. But apparently you don’t think this plays a factor at all in players stats being better at home vs away?

And I’m sure there’s some videos of JJJ getting a favorable call at home. I’m sure you could find instances of players at home getting favorable score keeping, not just Memphis.

What’s next?! You’ll let us know lebron gets favorable score keeping?!?

Yes, this is exactly you being defensive.

Also, 5 of the 7 “examples” were debatable at worst. Example 1 was the worst of the 7 examples put forth.

Because I DID watch them before I responded despite your presumption I hadn’t already

Idk what to believe but if there's any shred of truth to that JJJ thing that would be wild for the gambles/fantasy players of the world.

Has 0 impact on game outcome I thought (inaccurate stock calls I mean) but has huge impact on those parlays and fantasy matchups. Could definitely be a sneaky way to be getting some side cash in theory
