There might not be a better argument for the NBA season being too long than what’s about to happen in Washington, D.C. tonight when the Wizards play the Knicks.
You know how, toward the end of the year, there are always playoff teams jostling for position in the standings? Certain teams want to play other teams once the year starts, so they’ll either make a big push or care…slightly less about the game they’re about to play.
The same thing happens at the bottom of the standings, too. Except for literally never about winning. It’s a good ole fashioned tank-off. Everybody is trying to lose their way to the best draft lottery position possible.
