Appreciate the ASCII art. Don't see us losing this one, but hopefully the DAL game afterwards.

Every game is now a must-lose game until we lock up #7. LFG. Rest everyone.

How many do we have to lose to lock up the 7th best odds? Isn't it just one game?

Yeah, just one. But there are only three games left, and they're all against trash teams. It's going to be tough.

SAS has two games against playoff teams fighting for seeding, one game against a team fighting for a play-in spot, and one game against us left. They're in good position to pass us.

You are on record saying our team is trash so why you think they’ll beat Dallas with AD playing I have no idea lol.

Yeah, I saw some troll do this other day on this board - assume that Spurs would lose to the Mavs while we beat the Mavs. Like ... be consistent.

Is there really a huge difference between 7th and 8th pick? We didn't make the play-in which was the biggest concern I thought.

I've consistently said this team is way better than its record indicates and that the only reason we aren't in the playoffs is injuries.

Our roster is much better than the Spurs' right now. If we don't rest everyone, we could easily beat the very mediocre Kyrie-less Mavs.
