I mean you can't just say "welp we are going to try to lose to keep our pick' out loud either. They still want to sell tickets (to sociopaths) and like stated keep Silver off our backs

BUT then again we also fit the bill of a org that is just that dense to truly believe we still have a shot lol

Pelicans going for 3 straight. They will still be four wins behind us, but playing well.

Zion is rolling now. Hoping Ingram comes back for the Raps soon and they start seeing success. Unless we start winning games, I think a few of these teams can pass us.

Not catching the Wiz, Jazz, or Hornets; but damn it would be excellent if they could finish 4th.

The goal now MUST be to finish behind both the Craptors AND the Pelicans. Landing in the 4th spot is perfect.

It's possible if we finish with only 23 or 24 wins. The lower the better!

Joel is out for the year now. The tank is fully on. Find reasons for sitting George and Maxey as much as possible.

22-60 and fourth worst is achievable.

We still play the Raptors twice & Pels once - must lose games.

Always late like we are used to.

Bulls vs Raptors tonight. I love a game when somebody has to win lol. I actually don't understand why the Raps are as bad as they are. Barnes is a stud. Inconsistent but still a stud. And the team has some good players around him with Barrett, Quickley, and Ingram. I think they're a team that could make the play in and make some noise

Oh yeah, there should be no way that they finish bottom 5

That's 7 wins at the minimum, which puts them far ahead of the Sixers. Excellent news.

Raptors remaining schedule is so easy, I’m almost pulling for the Bulls here. The Bulls at 23 wins is too close, but then again, they have five win lead on the Raps. I guess it is a win-win for us.

As bad as PG has been, when his shot is on, he is too good to run a clean tank. We don’t need his random 25+ point outbursts.

Now there is clarity. Lose as much as possible. The team isn't good enough to win many games, but doesn't have a lot of wiggle room. 3 accidental wins seems to be the hard limit.

New Orleans remaining schedule includes: Phoenix, Utah, San Antonio, Philly, Charlotte, Brooklyn, and Miami. Can I get 5 wins there, Pellies?

Post #340 » by **sixers hoops** » Fri Feb 28, 2025 10:25 pm

Portland favored but would like a BKN win.
