Good day for draft outcomes :nod:

Sorry to break it to u but a team at 6 is most likely to move down than to stay at 6

Perfect night for the tank. Even the Pistons 2nd is now pretty securely ahead of the Wizards so we'll get #31 barring an unexpected win here or there.

If it conveys in a horrible draft we can’t be mad at all. At least we have the Pacers & Pistons picks

We’ve put ourselves in a position where’s there’s a solid chance we move into the top 4. Wouldn’t be mad about that outcome either

Tough schedule to end the year:
OKC
MIA
TOR
CLE
ATL

Only 1 sure win there with Atlanta

With the Grizz win tonight, I hope Raptors dress the whole roster for the Pacers game and go out and get a win.

Our entire roster made us as the 7th worst team in the nba. Some people (not you) think we can just bring back everyone and actually be good lol.

Do you think we'd be on a 15 game losing streak if healthy?

Indeed but 46% of keeping it is not trivial either. It’s a coin flip. This will assuredly make the Lottery interesting.

Lottery gods favour us: Be pumped about a top6 pick if not a top4 pick
Lottery gods favour conveying the pick : Focus on Ind /Det pick and we turn the page on the Poeltl trade.

I will see the result as a win regardless of the outcome.

Until them Team Tank :nod:

I am guaranteeing we get a top 5 pick. I’ve heard inside information from my source say we'll be one of the teams moving up. I really think we will be getting a top 4 pick.

Nope but we'd also be major underdogs against Indiana even if healthy lol.

What is the best pick we can realistically get from Indy? Would it be 15?

I think 13th is the best possible pick we could get, but it would require them to lose against Philly, and then one of Chi/Atl in the play-in

West play in seeding working out to league preferences with stars in larger markets set up for playoffs

PHX moved up to 6th
Lakers on verge of moving to 7 or 8
NO fell to 7th
SAC at risk of moving on down to 9th

Lakers play NO and get 7th
GS beats SAC and NO for 8th

Sacramento with a tough schedule to end season, 5 of 7 tough opponents:
@ New York
@ Boston
@ Brooklyn
@ Oklahoma City
New Orleans
Phoenix
Portland

That also works for Indiana losing in Play in

Need 76ers and MIA to keep playing well. I expect 76ers to go on a run here with Embiid back. Nurse is going to play everyone heavy minutes down the stretch here.

Who do we wants to win tonight between Miami and Philly?

Philly is one game behind Indiana. With a run they can pass Indiana but they don’t have the full destiny of their outcome as Indy need to lose for them to pass them. Like you said, Philly could do a run with Embiid. If Philly win they can get 0.5 behind Indy. I am not sure about the tie break rule though .

Miami: Currently virtually tied with Indiana. With a win tonight Miami can ahead of Indy. And they face Toronto twice. Miami is also facing Indy soon. Maybe the Miami outcome could be dictated with that game

At the end of the day only one team win and one lose ?

Who wants ? I am taking Miami (safest route ATM) but I am still a bit undecided .

We want Miami to pull away, and they will, considering they will be gifted 2 wins against us to end the season.

A lot of disgust, anxiety, and fear in that thread. For a franchise as lottery blessed and successful as they have been, they are quite the negative lot.

They aren’t wrong on next year either. Easier to see Raptors bottom 6 than play in.
