With a few weeks to go until the end of the regular season, the NBA will soon split into two distinct groups. On the one hand the ambitious teams in the short term, 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 – Blazers: losing to the Clippers, the Blazers see their play-in hopes dwindling further and further. On Saturday the Portland franchise announced that it could exempt Damian Lillard from the end of the season in the event of results leaving nothing to be hoped for… the timing is ideal, it’s Dame time will soon mean that it’s vacation time, that it’s is lottery time.
Bad trade of the day – Spurs: what a funny idea to have beaten the Hawks. It must be said that opposite Trae Young had taken himself for Casper, and suddenly the Texans see the Hornets approaching their third place yet so comfortable there is little. Attention gentlemen, attention not to waste five months of effort because of ten days of deconcentration.
