Would be a miracle if Memphis wins this game. They're awful.

Dallas pick heading to worst case scenario of being 20th. It wasn't too long ago when we were wishing for 12th. Then Barea happened. SMH.

Evan Fournier, I take back everything I said about your manbun earlier this year.

All right, time to stop fooling ourselves. We all know Dallas is ending the season on a 9-game win streak.

It's just our lot in NBA life. We can't be permitted to have nice picks.

At this point, I'm almost hoping we don't land the #1 overall, because I'm sure Simmons is a nice young man and I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to him.

look on the bright side. at least dallas doesn't slip into the late lottery and become the first team in history to move up from 14th to top 3. i'm 100% convinced that was happening.

The bottom part 5-9 seed of Western Conference this year is pathetic...GSW,SAS,OKC,LAC WILL will destroy them, can not see more than one series going 5 games, other three will be sweeps.

But in the end does not matter, BRK pick is the main point of this season...I think BRK will win one of last 2 games so we need two PHO wins, will be very hard despite that we even see they can win all three, But Pelicans at home will compete and are not playing bad, SAC is they do not rest players are a better team and LAC bench looks it can beat good teams. Everything possible, who knows maybe one PHO win will be enought, on other hand maybe they will need all 3.

What a fun season!

I think Pacers, even without George should beat the BKN. After all the Pacers should try to avoid CLE, imo.. Also, NOP just beat the Lakers(lol at their fans saying their roster should be competing for a playoff spot

) and they are playing tonight against Phoenix... Suns can definitely win it, so here's to hoping they don't rest their whole team...

Oh, and imo NOP has the 2nd or 3rd worst starting 5 in the league, behind 76ers and maybe BKN..

Pelicans roster in December Vs. PHO:

evans/holliday/ish smith
gordon/cole
gee/cunningham
davis/anderson
asik/perkins

3 players of 11 playing today

Btw, 1 more thing, the Jazz really laid an egg... They couldn't beat the Clippers without Paul/Jordan/Griffin/Reddick....

Not likely but Dallas could still fall out based on their schedules and Houston's. Each team would have to lose/win out, but the schedule is set to help it happen.

Houston - Lakers, Minny, Kings
Dallas - Clippers, Jazz, Spurs

Not sure if Houston wants to win though.

The sad part is if Houston and Celtics would have taken care of business against Brooklyn this season, then Houston would be in a much better position, Boston would have the third seed, and Brooklyn would be challenging LA for the second worst record.

What a disappointing season for Houston this year. Lawson was suppose to give them a boost to maybe get HCA, and now they have no margin for error to get a chance to play Golden State in the first round.

If Clippers plays their starters, Mavs will get blown out. Leaves the Jazz and Spurs doing their part, and Houston...doesn't look good.

PHO over NOP and BOS over ATL are obviously the big ones tonight although 3 of the other 4 games have potential to impact DAL seeding. The 3-layered plot of the '16 Celtics and their draft picks moves to a rousing climax. Will we know any outcomes before the last day of the season?

Post #677 » by **SmartWentCrazy** » Sat Apr 9, 2016 1:22 pm

NOP with only a 1 game lead over a tanking kings team. No way they beat PHO, they have too much at stake and I expect the tank to be strong tonight.

Las Vegas has the Suns favored by 2 tonight. Pelicans also on a back-to-back while Suns are not. This is huge.

Nets next game is in Indiana, and there is no chance they win this one. Indiana and Detroit locked in a battle to avoid playing the Cavs in the 1st round.

Final two games:

Nets at home against Washington and Toronto
Suns home against Kings and Clippers.

Of those 4 opponents, only the Kings seem to care whether they win or lose. They are lottery bound and they only keep their pick if in top 10. Hard to handicap these other games though because players will probably be sitting, etc.

I give the Nets a lot of credit. They have no incentive to win or lose and clearly they are doing what's in the best long term for the franchise. Those picks are gone and nothing can bring them back. Marks did not make that trade and he is not concerned with any fallout.

Remember that the Suns also have a game left at home against that "tanking Kings team".

Despite all injured team Pelicans still have a few players that can score or would deserve to be a bench players in nba.

Frazier, Enis, Ajinca and Cunningham are solid imo...Douglas and Babbit can get hot for 3pt.
