Welcome to "Shook-Ow… At The Buzzer" with me your host, E! Tanking in the NBA has taken over the league conversation in 2026. Since the calendar flipped, “NBA tanking,” “NBA draft lottery odds,” and “anti-tanking rules” have been trending topics across basketball media. This year, it doesn’t just feel strategic—it feels blatant. The league is now reviewing new anti-tanking rules that could reshape the future of the NBA Draft and competitive balance. I break down a clip from “Locked On Lakers” reacting to the league’s proposed changes, and I give my honest take on the topic. Then i’ll shift to the Houston Rockets. The Houston Rockets have lost 11 games this season after leading going into the 4th quarter. That’s not just bad luck—that’s a serious closing problem. I react to a clip from First Take featuring Ime Udoka after their loss to the New York Knicks. Plus, “The Dunker Spot” shares a Rockets stat since the new year that honestly shocked me. I’ll play the clip and have my take to what’s really going on down in Houston. All that is next right here, on "Shook-Ow...At The Buzzer".
