Heres the secret: Teams are all Mid now for betting purposes in Las Vegas and to give more revenue as fans pay more in tickets and merchandise if they have hope for a team. All metrics really. What happens when there is a dynasty? Fans of the lower 26 tune out, some do the bandwagon and hate wagon, but sales dwindle. Silver wants all mids to garner more for the play In BS. It is merchandising like Mel Blanc said in Spaceballs.

as a grizzlies fan i actually hate him
With all the injuries of important players now, i still dont understand why some of them be on the floor at the end of games when they have a double-digit lead. Morant holding his calf basically with 30 seconds left in the game is the type of crap im talking about. Theres no way they could have came back and won, so he shouldn't have even been out there. Players like A.D. with his injury issues is the same type of stupidity from his coach.
