So if I missed like something obvious, please let me know.
So number five, number five lowest tanking moment is when the Rockets were forced to suspend Christian Wood and Kevin Porter Jr.,
after what transpired during a game against the Nuggets.
So the series of events that led to the suspensions were kind of bizarre.
Before the Nuggets game, then-coach Steven Silas decided to bench Christian Wood to start the game because Wood didn't show up to the daily COVID testing, which caused shoot-around to be delayed.
Fast forward to halftime.
Kevin Porter Jr.
got in a confrontation with assistant coach John Lucas and left the arena, just went home.
Just drove home.
Gone.
Then in the second half, because he got benched in the first half, Christian Wood refused to come back in the game when Steven Silas was trying to bring him in the game.
He just had to go to someone else because Christian Wood refused to get up.
So both were suspended by the team.
All this came out in the reporting at the time, and it just painted this picture of a very dysfunctional team, which I think is deserving of the number five spot.
Yep.
Number four, lowest tanking moment.
I'm giving it to the Wizards, letting Bam out of bio score 83 points.
It's one of the most improbable moments in League history.
I still can't believe it happened.
But the one part that does make sense is that the Wizards were involved.
