Illyasova just killed our tank saviors.

You don't want to be tied for 6th guys, you would have rather had Toronto win tonight, then win again against NJ so that you can lose out and own 7th by yourself. Why would you want a 1/3 chance on coin flips to lose the pick?

TB · Post #1783 » by TB » Tue Apr 24, 2012 2:29 am

if we lose both, we get a coin flip.

if Cavs beat wizards and bulls we get another coin flip.

if Kings beat thunder and Lakers we get another coin flip.

I'm guessing we go 1-1, cavs go 1-1, and Kings go 0-2.... we get the 8th.

Yeah, I think we figured that one out. Moot point now.

And SA without the old three. 3 game win streak to end the season would be good for the player's morale.

those other teams know what's at stake...so they're smart to tank.

Here's my prediction, Warriors lose next to Hornet.

BUT, they'll win the Spurs LOL ....

It doesn't matter anymore...I hope it costs Lacob a lot of money if he is trying to buy first round picks.

Why did lacob have to open up that mouth of his and piss Utah off. Lacob and all his promises. I think his mouth should be sown shut until we make playoffs

when's the last time a team besides us won a game? 10 days ago? :lol:

**** this ****

TB · Post #1789 » by TB » Tue Apr 24, 2012 2:56 am

I swear people think everyone in the bottom 7 has lost like 20 in a row.

Blame the lockout if anything. If this was an 82 games season we would probably end up with a top 3 pick.

Cavs beat the Knicks on Friday (only counting non Bobcats wins)

Naw, I blame Mullin/Riley for putting us in this position.

If it were an 82 game season, the Bucks might not have had playoff hopes left at the trade deadline, and then we'd have never closed that trade. Gotta take the good with the bad.

I'm probably more annoyed because it means I'm less interested in the off-season now. At least if the Warriors were keeping their pick I could dream about trades or someone dropping to #6/7. Now it's one late 1st rounder, most likely no major deals and a bunch of dead air until October outside of Summer League.

RGMirs · Post #1794 » by **RGMirs** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 3:39 am

Sorry guys but I officially don't expect this franchise to be more than mediocre. O well.

My thoughts exactly. And I find baseball really boring

Right, like a lot could still happen. Sac could win out (not likely), Cleveland could win out (possible), GS could win coin flip outrite, could win top-3 lottery. We're all so locked in the moment. We'll look back on this in 3 months a lot differently.

KevinMcreynolds · Post #1797 » by **KevinMcreynolds** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 5:39 am

lol, we went down in the power rankings because we didn't tank properly :lol:

Something tells me it doesn't surprise Dubs diehards one bit that their team, out of the playoffs in 17 of the last 18 seasons, won at Sota to potentially spoil all the tanking they've done lately to hang onto their No. 1 pick, which is Utah-bound unless it's in the top seven. Said one rival exec: "Worst win of the season."

They are the only PGs, and Portland, Utah, NOH, and possibly Toronto could be looking for a playmaker.

Then its basically true PG vs. scoring PG. Poor man rondo vs. poor man Westbrook.

I'm going to laugh at you and others when Austin Rivers ends up being the best pg out of this draft..... You guys are letting the situation he played under fool you into thinking he is a 2 guard...... He's a scoring point like Rose but has tremendous vision and passing ability..... He's young and needs nurturing but. Jackson would be perfect for him and he's a coaches and former nba pg's son.

He'll be a 20 and 8 player and a future starter and star...... Great insurance for Curry and allows us to use Jenkins as a trade additive.

I'd take Sully over him but. Would take him in a heartbeat.

No. A top 7 pick is worth more than Udoh is. I like him, but the Spurs 1st can be enough for him, he was drafted 6th in a weaker class and hasn't shown star potential.

TBH, I just forgot about Rivers. Scanning through 1st rounders listed as PG's, and he is listed as a SG so I skipped over him.

Early on in this thread I had him listed in my top 7. In fact, I even wrote "poor mans rose" next to it.
