Last place!! Let's go! Sole possession of last place, now let's finish it off and secure that top pick. That should secure at least a top 2 pick and take Ayton or Doncic/Bagley (all 3 of which should be stars) to add to the core. Jackson looking good. Love that we're actually tanking the right way, bottoming out, pretending our top 2 scorers are "Hurt" in Booker and Warren, secure another lottery star. We'll be alright 2020-2030 decade. This is how you rebuild look at Philadelphia. We'll be alright. Liked waht I saw out of Ulis and Chriss tonight.

A reminder, the worst record gets you-

35.7% chance for #4
25% chance for #1
21.5% chance for #2
17.8% chance for #3

BTW- Booker is not "pretending" to be hurt

A reminder, 25% is the highest chance for the #1 pick. Ill take it!

"...that should secure at least a top two pick"

...is not an accurate statement. Would you disagree?

Would be more accurate. Most accurate would be secure a top 4 pick

Which means we will be drafting 4th.

Knowing our luck, we're drafting 5th. Which is a statistical impossibility.

Oh, no, i agree, thats only a 46.5% chance to land a top two pick, but those odds are better than any others, so im more than happy with them!

So many butt hurt celtics fans that are so **** bitter about everything. Why are they so hateful of everything that isnt new england? Is it decades of listening to heinsohn? Is it the worst accent in the english language? Is it their weather?

Only if we lose our last 8 games. Ultimately, I am going to accept being content with getting any of the top 7 players, considering I don't know McD's big board.

Whoever we get will be a huge upgrade over what we have now. Too often we get 0-4 point nights from multiple starting positions.

Just premptively pushing back against the moron conspiratards that either don't know or don't realize the reality of a 46.5% #1/#2 vs. a 53.5% #3/#4 for the quote unquote number one position

#itsnotrigged

...yet I know they'll still trumpet "it was rigged" anyway. Just in my DNA to fight

As a Phoenix native and resident (who graduated from UMass).... massoles are that way because
1. Weather blows ass
2. Shoveling snow at 7am to get to work on time blows
3. All the chicks are pale and fat
4. The cost of living is atrocious
5. A small old **** house near Boston is over 1 mill $
6. The traffic is so bad
7. Because the weather is cold, everyone is always sick
8. Everyone has an alcoholic in the family because all you do is drink in the winter
9. No in and out burger
10. Taxes are sooo high , hence taxachusetts

I hated living there in college

I'm hopeful reed can get his shot right and we can move troy this summer for anything.

I wish we kept Reggie Bullock. Gave up on him way too soon and he’s tuned into a fine young player. Would’ve been the perfect fit next to Booker with his defense and ability to stretch the floor.

I think the Suns are basically hoping for Reed to turn into what Bullock is today.

#9 would've been enough to make your point.

I know stats show that Tatum is super efficient but man is he taking many inefficient, Knight style shots. Once he stops hitting them he's going to be aggravating to watch as a fan.
And in general this game confirmed my previous opinion of Jackson >> Tatum. My favorite Suns player on the roster.

64.2% chance at a top 3 pick that drops to 55.8% if we were 2nd in the standings. I'll take those odds. I'm going to be sweating so hard on May 15th if the Suns aren't called at No 4-6 slot. I'll sweat even more during the next break if they announce another team at No 3. I will then cry regardless if we pick 1st or 2nd, though likely will cry waterfalls if we end up No 1.

Definitely rigged if we don't get top 2 though. ;-)

Can it just be like the 2016 draft where no teams moved up, just make it easy on everyone
