Wasn't part of the narrative with Hurley is that both him and his wife had spent their entire lives in the NYC area and had large, close families in NJ?
As bunched up as it is, some of the games on Sunday will matter. I think they all play at 2:30 CST, too.
OKC has secured home court throughout the entire playoffs. Cleveland #2.
I didn't realize Denver had slipped so much. They're basically in the 4/5 spot with the Clippers, who have moved up. If the season ended today, OKC would play Memphis in the first round and then Denver or the Clippers in the second round. That's the absolute best case scenario for them. (I'm counting on Sacramento and Dallas to lose in the play in. Somehow, Phoenix couldn't even make that.)
Still a big log jam but a lot of these teams play each other, even on the last day. Some may rest some people but some may not be able to.
Neither does Sheppard because they can't play him with FVV because they're both 6 feet tall. Castle has an NBA body and can play and guard multiple positions.
If you're going to commit big money to FVV, fine but I don't recommend, then you can't draft another undersized point guard.
In a redraft, no one would take Sheppard over Castle.
In a weird way, OKC losing to LA helps OKC in that they avoid them in the second round. However, they'll get maybe Denver or GS. On paper, GS would be the better option for Steph is still Steph and Butler is great in the playoffs.
The poors don't pay income taxes now. Hell, the lower middle class barely pays any.
Yet, they'll be paying the brunt of the tariffs for the tax cuts the rich get.
Trump will then blame immigrants.
