Analyzing NBA's 65-Game Rule, Ethical Tanking, Harden's Fractured Thumb

Описание: On Thu.'s No Dunks, the guys discuss the Nuggets' defense helping 'em beat the Celtics, whether the Bucks' recent strong play will help convince Giannis to play and stay, James Harden's fractured thumb, the Spurs overcoming Wemby's rough night to beat the Raptors, and Ausar Thompson's strong bounce back performance vs. the short-handed Thunder. That, plus thoughts on who "deserves" the No. 1 pick, why the NBA might want to eliminate the 65-game requirement for awards, and Mat Ishbia offering $1M to All-Star contest winners.
