Both teams' only wins recently were against the Bucks. With RJ and IQ back we seem to be favoured.

Let's get this dub!

We've already locked in the 6th best lottery odds, might as well try to win some games and go into the off-season with some momentum.

25 looks better than 24 :rockon:

This is a win but would be pleasantly surprised if we found a way to lose.

Edit: just saw on tankathon that we clinched the 6th spot!?! But how? There are still 5 games left, we only have a two loss lead on the grizzlies.

Are you basing the clinched on the little lock they have?

if so, that means the pick has been traded but is protected and currently under those protections. When a pick is going to another team you’ll see the team receiving the pick logo and then a little arrow and the team who originally owned the pick logo in bottom right.

I’m rooting for the loss so they can get that 25th win on Tuesday vs Pacers.

Let’s tune in to watch IQ and RJ cook. Maybe Gradey too if we’re lucky

It's going to be tough to lose this one

But as long as we have darko we have a chance

Sit RJ and IQ and just let them win please, just call the entire 905 and be done with it.

Crucial loss needed

We need to win max 2 of next 5 to finish 6th worst.
Unless Grizz beat Spurs next week then we can win 3 of 5. There is a good chance for that as Spurs may need the loss too.

Schedule:
At home Wizz, Indy then away Nets, heat, heat

We probably lose against Pacers and 2x against Heat, so it's fine if we win this game.

Iowa laying the smack down

We need to trade Siakam for AJ Griffen before it's too late! - PhilBlackson

it's all good either way as long as we keep it competitive (assuming we're playing a full lineup)

Can we draft Caitlin Clark with our lottery pick?

Grizzlies have 27 wins and tie breaker against us. We would have to go 4-1 in the last 5 games and Grizzlies would have to lose out?

Does it say we clinched the 6th spot? I dont know if it does.

The tiebreaker doesn’t matter. It goes to a coin toss if its tied.

No I got confused, saw that lock thing and thought we clinched lol

Miami in the last 2 are most likely not going to go easy on us due to playoff positioning.

We most likely aren't getting in 5th but there's still unfortunately an outside chance we land in 7th.

Unfortunately Indy and Brooklyn are very beatable so hopefully Memphis pulls out another win to put some breathing space.

Kuzma confirmed out. Entire Wiz front court is out too (Holmes, Bagley; they traded Gafford away). Raptors (real) non-injured guys are all playing. Poole has played slightly better but still chucks inefficiently.

No wonder Raps are betting line favourites for the first time in weeks.
