I was talking about what they were supposed to be by now.

All of the sudden the three-headed monster of emerging NBA teams in Texas a couple years ago has only one head.

This guy looks like the next Donald Sterling -- the fan who hits the half court shot may have to sue to get his money. The Spurs should be wooing Avdija when the time comes (if they can afford).

Based upon the last few drafts, I don't think the Spurs are one of those front offices (unfortunately).

The crowd went crazy last night when they introd him and showed him on screen. (He didn't acknowledge it, game face on.)

I'd go with this one about an improbable great result which the Spurs could use. Dock Ellis pitching a no-hitter while tripping on LSD.

So the tiebreaker eliminates any tiny possibility that the Spurs might have gotten a lottery pick if Atl was in the play-in at #7, but they could still get two picks higher than the Hawks are now if they get lucky on the coin flip.

Unfortunately, it looks like: Three-Way Tie Scenarios (ATL/TOR/ORL): 5th Seed: Atlanta Hawks (due to division winner) 6th Seed: Toronto Raptors 7th Seed: Orlando Magic
