The 2012 NBA Draft: 6th & 11th picks, and some random 2nds.

Only if there was a way for us to get Drummond/Sullinger/Leonard along with Marshall.

Hoping the Raptors can pull it out.

LOL at NJ!

NJ started Deshawn Stevenson, Sundiata Gaines, MarShon Brooks, Gerald Green and Jordan Williams. I think that makes Stevenson their PF? TANK.

^ Yep, pretty blatant.

The tankiest of tanks I can remember

it does seem like there are a bunch of teams blatantly tanking but maybe it's just because we're paying attention

Yeah, I mean it's nothing new for teams to rest guys late in the season, but this is insane in the membrane. I guess it could just be because of the compressed schedule, but mean it sure looks bad for the league when you have people who actually pay money to see some of these insane excuses for teams.

BTW, the Nets are down 27 points to the Raptors at the half of that game. While it's hard to completely write off a game by half-time, this ones looking like it's pretty much done. The Nets will end with a 22 win record and the Raptors will fall with a 23 win record.

Let's just hope it plays to our favor come May 30th.

Yeah, all this lottery tracking could very well end up being for not after the lottery is completed. God forbid the Nets win the #1 pick...... Which if you're a conspiracy theorist, the Nets getting the #1 pick should be considered a lock since Brooklyn is David Sterns home town iirc.

If that happens, the NBA clearly hates the Blazers. A possible #6/#7 pick turning into #1. It's pure luck if they get #3 or #2. It's a blatant giveaway if they get #1.

NO is up 15 over the Hornets early in that game.

Reading the Raps game thread is the best thing I've done today

Wow if New Orleans can pull this out that'd be amazing.

EGame · Post #415 » by **EGame** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 12:54 am

Um, if Cleveland, NO, and Sac wins that means 4 way tie for the 3rd. Not sure if I like that or not. I want the Nets entering the lottery in that 5th position.

LOOSH · Post #416 » by **LOOSH** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 1:27 am

Yeah, we want Cleveland to win with New Orleans looking good right now and the Lakers sitting everyone against the Kings later. This is working out great for us assuming we get the pick.

Go Hornets! (no jinx)

No-Man · Post #418 » by **No-Man** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 2:06 am

So pick6+pick11 unless lottery mess it...

For me it's clear, Beal+TJones what d'ya think?

If Sacramento wins there will be a coin flip for 5th.

I'd like Beal at 6 but he will probably be gone. No way I'd take Terrence Jones at 11th. I think he'll struggle to find a position in the NBA.

That Sacramento/Lakers game tonight should be an interesting affair but
I wonder if the Kings management will allow their team to win tonight. The
teams with 21 wins so far have made sure they did not get their 22nd win
tonight.
