AD is soft and a diva, and wants to be load-managed max player who does not give any effort vs us. Drummond is dumb as a piece of rock, and it's a travesty they are benching Marc Gasol for that guy.

Can't really blame anyone on the Raps for this win. I hope the Lakers slide into the play-in games and win them only to get knocked out of the 1st round for this embarrassing performance.

best case scenario is probably 7th. I think the top 6 are set heading into the lottery

This W was worth it just for the chance to watch a Lowry masterclass one last time.

Sacramento winning tonight basically cancelled it out anyways. They still face the thunder 3 times. And as for the Bulls we still have a game against them so fate is still in our hands. Lavine should be back soon too. 7th is still definitely in play

Sac is not our main competitor as they definitely gonna win more than us - it's the Bulls. The stubbornness of Nurse will ensure we win that final game vs Bulls

Bulls play PHI tomorrow that just played an OT game tonight. Hopefully if Bulls can pull out an upset then this Raps W will hurt less.

Between the Celtics, Hornets, and Pistons the Bulls could win 2 of those games. Celtics just had their 2 best players get injured tonight so hopefully they’ll be out till they’re game with the Bulls

Replacing Lowry with Cade will take some of the sting out of seeing him go.

Tobias and Simmons sucked and almost lost to the Spurs without Derozan, Poeltl, Deonte Murray nor White!!!

I hope Embiid rests.

I give that an extremely low chance of happening.

Not only because Raptor luck works against us lol but PHI has made it known they desperately want 1st.

They would love to avoid either of BKN or MIL at all costs until the ECF.

No one saw that coming. I blame the Lakers for their pathetic effort.

Big fan of this years draft but only the top 5 picks... if we get a top 5 we go for it but with Chicago struggling it seems unlikely we will get something that high....may as well compete and develop the youngins

1. There is a chance we can jump from 7-10th spot into top 4 pick - it's called top 4 odds on http://www.tankathon.com/

2. The teams drafting before us could draft some bust and leaving the real gems for us at 7-10.

3. Higher spot our pick, more valuable, and thus can potentially trade it for a star player.

So those are the arguments for losing all remaining 7 games.

Exactly, and Sacramento beating Dallas (while still having three more games against OKC) takes some of the sting out of this victory.

But those pesky Bulls man. They have talent, even without Lavine. They really have to get it together. In our game against them, our starting lineup has to be Flynn, Harris, Hood, Stanley ... and Baynes. Yes, it will finally be time to release the tank Kraken.

Plus Bembry, Yuta, and Freddie G. off the bench for a tight 8-man rotation. If Watson's available, I may not even want to risk him going off for 30 again.

It's a developmental showcase league pending fixing all their problems.
