crossing fingers, going from 7% chance to get a top4 to 26%, that's a massive difference. 5 teams have already decided to tank Pacers, Wizards, Nets, Kings, Jazz and for whatever reason the Pels are absolutely atrocious. So the 7th pick is the highest we could get but I'm pretty sure that at some point, the Hornets, Grizzlies will join the tanking group
Dallas is confusing me. This is their last controlled pick until 20131, I think, yet they’re not hard tanking, 7-3 in their last 10.
they were winning games with flagg and davis out. not sure how else they can try to tank. the players arent cooperating
everyone knew the pels would be absolutely atrocious which is why the draft day trade they made was ridiculous, even if queen ends up quite good (and he looks good)
They’re regularly sitting Lauri,and doing things like having Nurkicguard Wemby. Defensive lapses are the best way to tank.
Yep, pre-lottery #7 is where hope peaks.
And, not for nothing, all the top teams are kind of in a malaise right now.
This is incorrect. I'm almost positive we're 0-12 in January.
And I thought Kidd was an unlikeble guy.
He is, and yet the Mavs shitshow makes him look sympathetic.
Why do we want the Grizz to beat the Pels?
We want them to have a better record than the Hawks for lottery purposes.
To push ATL down further. I see ATL’s realistic floor as #9, but that’s pretty doable with minimal contortions.
Might be better for the Spurs if the Pels win since they might not come into SA as motivated to get a win. They've been losing a lot of close games lately tbh.
