This Minnesota Win is important .

Indiana is having a difficult schedule but winning against a Strong Minnesota team could have giving them a boost.

I don’t want to see a massive Indiana winner streak and our pick getting lower and lower. Happy they could not get back to back win.

Hopefully Miami can pull a win too but even a Maverick’s win is still useful.

We really need Indy to get upset in the play-in

Need DeMar to bring his daughter to the play-in game again. Siakam’s gonna get PTSD.

Bullls are only 3.5 games back of Indy…
Next game between the two sides - March 13th - is important because the season series is tied at 1-1.

Bulls next two games - Pistons and Wizards

Pacers next two games - Orlando and OKC (on the road)

Pacers will then play the Bulls on the second night of a back to back.

Bulls can easily go 3-0 here, while the Pacers can go 0-3.

I think 3.5 games is a lot for the crappy Bulls to make up in such little time, but I like your optimism.

Finishing 8th is still pretty good for us as I don't like their chances of winning the 7/8 matchup on the road in Philly/Miami/NY. They would then clearly be better than whoever they play in the 2nd game but their non-existent D can give up 130+ points on any given night.

As long as the Pacers are in the play-in, we have a good shot they don't make the playoffs.

Even if they make the playoffs as a low seed, that pick will still be in the 15-16 range, which would be nice.

They do still play each other twice so that’s pretty big.

Siakam trying his best to get us a better pick so we feel better about his return package - what a nice guy.

Memphis playing well and Desmond Bane should be back soon. What's up with Marcus Smart?

Jaden Ivey looks good. Wemby better start winning more games or else it will be #33. :evil:

We lose 2 to the Wizards and beat the Pistons.

We better our chances to keep our pick, and help that Pistons pick go back to #31

Lol the lottery odd difference that Detroit has whether they are last or second last are miniscule.

On top of that....the expected outcome of difference in the 31st overall and 32 or 33rd overall are also miniscule.

Irrational indeed. I figure ppl are half-joking when they talk about this stuff....but it's still pretty crazy. Ppl just love the "idea" of draft picks and draft order.

Are ppl really serious about this? Go look at the tankathon site and tell me that we have to worry about Detroit coming last or second last or third last or even fourth last. It REALLY doesn't matter that much.

And it matters even LESS because the expected outcomes between 31st overall and 35th overall are really insignificant too.
