I still remember hearing about the Cavs blowout of the Heat in my high school cafeteria the next morning.

The difference between this game and the 1991 classic is the Heat weren't tanking. They started Steve Smith, Rony Seiklay, Bimbo Coles and Glen Rice trying to win it.

Once it became a blowout, both teams emptied their benches... and the Heat were an expansion team with the worst bench in the NBA. Our bench ruined careers that night.

I never recall hearing of tanking in the 1990s. But OKC definitely does it. We now have the NBA records for the worst home AND road losses in NBA history, in back to back seasons:

 
*IF* their is any funny business with the Draft Lottery, the Thunder should be screwing themselves out of any "luck" by laying down as easily, and as often, as they do. I don't often complain about tanking, but Presti is making a mockery of it and embarrassing the League.

What are your thoughts on them tanking this badly? The odds are different, so there’s really no point in tanking and ruining your players this badly.

My confidence would be shot to hell losing by 73 points as a young professional player. That’s horrible.
 
Anybody think theres any way to pull Brogon away from the Pacers at some point? He’s not that young, Pacers really don’t look that good and don’t really see them getting any better so might be rebuild season for them soo. Hes got one year on his contract after this season at a very reasonable price

Sam Presti is brigadier general of the ‘tank.’ Tanking is one thing, but losing by 73 is bringing shame & embarrassment upon your franchise. I’ll laugh if Presti & OKC land outside the top 4 again in the draft lottery. He’ll still have his 30 first round picks to use over the next 5 years, as he petitions the NBA to expand the size of rosters.

Oh it's honestly unwatchable. SGA had a legit concussion from two nasty falls I saw in the Rockets game, so I figured it might get bad, but it shouldn't ever get so bad that you lose by a record number of points. I think it was clear they tanked on purpose last season when they set the road loss record and gutted the team prior to SGA's plantar fasciitis injury. They started out the season competitive with him, Horford, and George Hill, but that was too good, so they found ways to get rid of the vets and surround SGA and Dort with bums. There's no real potential in guys like Bazley and Pokusevski. Those guys shouldn't even be in the league, really, much less start or log significant minutes.

Bulls, Heat lose picks over Lonzo, Lowry deals

The Bulls and Heat will both lose their next available second-round pick for violations related to the signings of Lonzo Ball and Kyle Lowry.

Don't remember seeing this posted. But the Heat and the Bulls are both losing a 2nd round pick for their discussions with Ball/Lowry.

How does a pro NBA team even accomplish losing by that much... even with one team on the court scoring 73 by itself would take alot of time...

It's a historic achievement!

I thought of KevinLoveFan when I saw this score...the citizens of RCF never leave my mind
 
Some idiot Memphis fan out there is now claiming Ja is overrated. 73 point win, who needs Morant? You know we’d have the here if, say, Garland was out and we win by 73.

They've been on a small win streak and have done better defensively since he's been out, so now people are making crazy hot take extrapolations based on that limited data set. Kind of reminds me of some of the stuff I see about Luka. Sometimes folks just need to let their eyes observe and not hunt for every remote analytic out there. Luka and Ja are some of the most exciting, dynamic offensive players in the league. You ultimately want those guys on the court.

Objectively thinking… a my headache for your headache trade of aussie borns Irving and Simmons makes sense (not sure of vaccination requirements in Philly)…. With their standing with their current teams, money involved, talent and fit… might be mutually beneficial

Doubt Simmons helps the Nets. He’s like James Harden without the ability to score.
 
Cade Cunningham is starting to play a lot better. Has a long way to go and is obviously on the tier below Mobley and Barnes for now…but hes definitely a lot better than Jalen Green. Detroit got a good player.


But Mobley is in a class of his own
