Sorry to bump, but I've read this thread with interest when it came out (for the obvious Knick fan reasons). It's been 2-3 weeks since it was discussed.

We don't have our pick, you do, and even a 1 round defeat is still playoffs, so what I want is obvious.

right now the final playoff spot will get you the #15 pick. If the knicks slip ahead of you, today, you'd get the #10 pick with a half game edge over Denver and NO, if you put Cleveland in the mix, you get the pick somewhere in 9-12 by missing the playoffs, #15 by making it.

I know you all know this, just wondering. Are you rooting for loses or playoffs? It's not a tremendous difference ofcourse, #10 vs #15 but there is some difference. Some good players have gone #10. Joe Johnson. Paul Pierce.

Sorry for the post with obvious knicks interest, but I'm curious what you guys are rooting for. The hawks are one of the teams I actually like and it would be cool to see you guys win a few divisions and make some deep playoff runs down the road. I root against the pacers, the heat, the lakers, the celtics, the nets - hate those 5 teams with a passion. Don't like Chicago or Detroit much either cause I'm old enough to remember the bad boys, . . . but enough on that.

hope it's not rude of me to say that I hope you lose a few more games to help my mediocre knicks team into the playoffs. I'm not sure my team is good enough to get there on their own. :D
Go Knicks!! Go Mets!!

As for the Jets . . . just keep it entertaining.

I'd say the fanbase is split pretty evenly

Lately on the official hawks forum alot of fans are jumping on the "do not make the playoffs so we can get a higher pick bandwagon".

Personally I am on that bandwagon too. This team needs talent desperately so moving up a few spots in a draft like this can help more so than another 1st round beating.

The problem is that it's hard to understand what they are doing.
Injuries made it hard to win, but once Millsap came back, they won 5 in a row so you would think they are not tanking, then Korver was out, and they lost a lot, and are now in a position where they can decide to be 8or 9-10th in the East.
Korver came back against PHI, and they won, but PHI is tanking...
