Not nervous, we just need to keep the pick. Even if we stay at 4 once they flip the cards we can't go wrong with any pick in the top 5, any player taken will help right off. 1 piece on the road back to relevancy is better than nothing.

What do I feel for it? Love. I love tomorrow's lottery. And not just a fleeting, lust filled, one night stand kind of love either... But a deep, lasting love... I want to wake up with tomorrow's lottery 25 years from now, make it tender bacon and eggs over-easy, just like tomorrow's lottery likes them, and just sit in comfortable silence and watch the birds pecking for worms in the lush green backyard.

I get wordy when I'm nervous...

Okafor Okafor Okafor

Better question, if we lose the pick what level magnitude earthquake is that equivalent to?

This. Preferably, it would be top 2, so we can get Okafor/Towns/Russell. Although if we get 5, and the big four of Okafor/Towns/Mudiay/Russell is gone, then I'd like to see them pick Hezonja.

I'd say that if we lose our pick, then I don't ever want to hear fans of other teams talk about how much the league favors LA again.

Am I the only one that has a gut feeling we're going to lose the pick?

If we lose the pick I will cope by trolling the Clippers board, in a tactful manner.

But nah, I see us moving up a spot. Then we have the difficult decision to make. PG or C.

Nervous for sure. I'll be satisfied as long as we keep the pick.

He was clearly aiming to eliminate the sixers when it was between them and the knicks. Even in a theoretical and completely meaningless game he didn't want any part of the sixers :lol:

I have a strong gut feeling that we'll get the fifth pick. Just a hunch.

I feel 2 or 3 and I think at 2 we go Okafor, 3 Russell, 5 Mario or WCS as a shocker pick.

If we do lose the pick though it's disastrous in so many ways:
- hurts our FA pitch
- next year is either more tank (nooooo!) or we get a lower pick in all likelyhood
- this year would have been a complete waste and we would have fed the troll tankity sixers league sullying plan
