Heat @ Hornets
Blazers
@ Rockets

and the silver lining if the clippers manage to beat us is that we'd like them to finish ahead of ATL for draft purposes
 
Appears the Hawks are not falling out of the play in games. The trade deadline was good to them CJ looks to be a stabilizing Vet for them and moving Risacher to the bench looks to be the right move for him as they try to develop him into a productive player.
 
Meanwhile....LAC down by 20 to Memphis. Yesterday choke job might have cause them to implode :st-lol:

Sucks tonight's game was the second leg of a b2b for them tbh. They're no doubt exhausted after last night's game. They needed a day or two off to recharge the batteries. They have the Knicks and t-wolves next too. I think a 4-game losing streak at least is in the works for them.
 
Kawhi just went on a heater. Clips are now tied with Memphis again. Good shit.
 
Atlanta is in the middle of a very favorable schedule

Wins:
Brooklyn
Washington x2
Portland minus Avdija
Milwaukee
Philadelphia minus VJ Edgecombe

Next:
Dallas
Brooklyn
Milwaukee
Orlando
Dallas

We just need Orlando, Miami, Philadelphia and Charlotte to hang in there for the next 5 games, if they do the final 13 games of the schedule are more challenging, except for a few in there (Memphis, Sacramento, Brooklyn). We need them to be either 9-10 so that they need to win 2 games to get into the playoffs, rather than winning just one if they're 7-8.
 
Everyone keeps talking about how awesome Charlotte is, so why the heck haven’t they passed Atlanta in the standing already FFS. 😂
 
Hopefully Maxey is alright tbh. Need to start worrying about that pick to OKC if he's out.
 
So it’s looking likely this is going to be the 16th pick, eh?
 
I'd consider trading it for either a future pick or packaging with a player/s it if it ends up at 16 or higher. I don't really follow the draft thread, so you'd know way better than me on potential draftees, but I think going forward, the Spurs need win now players instead of project players.
 
Ya looks like below lottery. I’ll be surprised if they end up bottom 10. Hope our lottery luck pays off and the pick still conveys top 10 somehow.

Right now you 4th place is Cleveland at 39-24 and 11th is Milwaukee at 27-35, so it's likely seeds 5-10 will be these teams in some combination:
5) Toronto: 35-27
6) Orlando: 34-28
7) Miami: 35-29
8) Philadelphia: 34-29
9) Atlanta: 33-31
10) Charlotte: 32-32
For Atlanta to guarantee themselves a playoff berth outright they have to finish 1st or 2nd among that lot. Given recent injuries I think Philadelphia is likely to move down, but Toronto, Orlando and Miami should stay on the same pace and Charlotte may even improve. They have a very easy schedule the next 5 games (Dallas x2, Brooklyn, Milwaukee, Orlando) but if they don't take advantage in the standings then they can still fail to qualify through the play-in and thus get 14th place or worse.
 
Really need Charlotte and Philadelphia to stay ahead of them so they have homecourt in potential play-in games, but that might not happen :(.
 
Don't look now Bucks getting blown out by the Magic I think the Bucks have zero chance of getting to the top 10 right now
 
On the bright side it’s not like we need another high lottery pick.

We need another big wing that can play defense and shoot the three and does not need high volume of shots SF or PF preferable. Who ever gets drafted is probably going to be buried on the bench and see some time in Austin
 
Look like OKC might have 2 picks (PHI and LAC) that could be in front of hawks pick and fuck Brian Wright by snatching the player that we want. Hope MATFO do their smokescreen properly :st-lol:
 
What picks do the Bucks get? I keep thinking they traded away their first round picks. I guess I'll go look it up. It seems to me like they're tanking.
