Team Tank 2022-23

[F Gump]

OKC wins in Portland to stay at 38 losses. Would be nice if Minny can beat Golden State to stay at 37 since they are on the road against the Kings tomorrow night as well.

In a tanking race, the real standings are about the number of wins. A tanking team can add losses as they wish, more or less, but they can never erase a win.

Mavs are stuck with 36 wins on their record. I'm not sure they can afford any more, but we have to hope the teams around them all stumble their way to 38 or more, just in case. If we use 38 as our standard, then it's easier to see which other teams are already there, or might accidentally get there, and which teams are going to be the real "competition" until the last game for one of those top-10 slots.

1st 8 lottery slots -- out of reach to get to 37 or 38 - all at 33 wins or less
