Lakers in the 3rd seed would be huge.

I assume to avoid competing for ratings with the NCAA Championship game tonight. Sucks but $$$ rules

I forgot that was today, stopped watching when all the draft prospects got eliminated

We could wake up tomorrow with a two-game cushion on 4th best odds.

All we need is a home victory by Philly over Brooklyn. Is that too much to ask? (Probably...)

Nets are in a groove and playing well. I could see them winning.

Updated. A kings win and a Magic loss tonight ensures we can't finish lower than the 7th slot in the lottery. A Knicks win and a magic loss cuts our "magic number" not not finishing below 6th to 1 game. Could a real good night for the tank.

Huge potential tonight.

Basically a guaranteed loss vs. the Cavs for us.

Very winnable games for the next three teams behind us in the lottery:
CHI @ NY
DAL @ SAC
BKN @ PHI

Philadelphia's tank is rolling tonight. Brooklyn is on pace for 160.

Knicks up double digits late in the 2nd! If that holds up and the Kings lose the NY board will be fun tonight!

Lurking the knicks board after a win is always hilarious.

I try not to troll (I have enough fun being mean to people on my own board 8-)

) but oh I do enjoy lurking on their panic attacks!

With the Knicks winning tonite, we are guaranteed to finish with the 5th best odds at worse.

I think Philly will pass us these last few games. They gave up 111points through 3 quarters to the Nets. That's just pathetic. They are not even trying.

If we can keep the 5th, I will be a happy camper. We can still land Tatum and Isaac is pretty much a guarantee at that point. Just hope the lottery doesn't screw us.

**** the knicks and **** melo. Im done I hope melo dies. Bye Bye Board I'm done for a year.

Sixers really our only competition now. Those overtime wins vs them really stink now.

Gotta keep on losing.

You know, i dont care if Philly picks before us. They want a PG and i think SF is our target.

Yeah but they are prob still gonna go with the BPA and could chose Tatum. They do need a PG and Fox or DSJr make sense. Still they can screw us over again and just pick Tatum

Also what if Sixers get the 3rd pick in lotto, would they really pass on Jackson for Fox or Monk? I don't think so. They can hold us hostage just like they did with EP too.

Getting better odds over the Sixers is still huge.

If Tatum is still on the board i wouldn't necessarily feel held hostage

Same. But if they pick 4, and we're 5 and they pick Tatum, that would really suck.

I'm not comfortable with them picking ahead of us at all. They'll fleece Henny like they have before. Hopefully Henny is gone either way.
