Mathematically if Indiana loses all 5 games left and Toronto wins their last 4 they would be tied by record. Magic number is 1.

You think chicago is going to be playing for anything that game either?

Make their pick that's going to Orlando worse and build chemistry for next year.

Lavine is back to beasting!!! 8-)

Lol did the Timberwolves play themselves out of the top 3 today? I think with their win today, they are 6th in the draft. Warriors are going to have a fun off-season.

We are in a great spot to draft top end talent for once. We’ve been waiting 8 years for Masai to draft at the top of the draft and now its here. There will be sleepers at 5-10.

He only had Poeltl at 9. Who would he have taken if they had #7? :reporter:

Jamal Murray!!!!

OMG, where would Milwaukee be had they not reached for Thon Maker at #10 and taken Sabonis.

Really though flipped for Kawhi so don't change anything.

7 is as good as it gets, no way out tanking the bottom 6.

As you start going through the draft picks for the past decade or so, and you see some of the higher picks and how they've worked out and even some of those mid-teen picks and how well they've done... I'm kinda excited/scared. I mean, short of a top 5 pick there's definitely been some peaks and valleys with some of these dudes.

How so? Chicago has 2 more wins. We each have 4 games left.

Chicago goes 2-2 and we go 4-0 we will be tied so will have a coin flip to determine the extra lottery ball / draft order.
Chicago goes 1-3 and we got 3-1 we will be tied as well.
Chicago goes 1-3 and we go 4-0 we surpass them.

Your track record recently is causing me anxiety. Nothing is guaranteed until we get that loss vs Bulls on May 13th.

The 7th spot has moved up 3 years in a row. A 4th time has to be unlikely, right?

Lottery odds are split for ties and if neither team wins lottery, position is determined by coin flip as we have seen in the past. It is simple though. Lose next two games and 7th alone is ours,I think.

Also, Bulls are two games behind the Pacers with four games to go. Bulls hold the tiebreakers with Indiana, which has been in freefall.

But ... two of those four games are going to be against the Nets. Also Raps and Bucks. Tough schedule, but without their draft pick there's no reason for Bulls to give up.

Pacers have five games left, including two B2Bs. They have one easy game, against the Cavs tomorrow. If Pacers lose that, Bulls will smell blood and pull out all the stops to win as many games as possible. Raps play both, and are in a position to be kingmakers. Assuming #7 slot is well in hand, who would we prefer to make the play-in?

7th place is looking more realistic now.
