Official BKN Pick Watch Thread 2016 Season [3.0]

[Crossy2008]

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.

I am predicting at least one quarter where neither team reaches double digits.

These teams need to break out Hinke's likely upcoming book "The Art of Losing". If he would had one more year he was trending towards a potential zero win season.

As terrible as this game is probably going to be, it could be tanking gold. Save the tape and try to implement the tactics used to complete a successful season of tanking. I am picturing several full court passes regardless of whether a player is open. Somewhere in the range of 60-70 threes taken. The Pelicans disadvantage is that they have a lot of guys that are playing for their NBA lives. The Suns disadvantage is that they have a few guys in contract years that are trying to stand out.

We are so close to finish line. To be honest, this season has been so stressful and taxing for me and now we do the same thing for the next two years. I hate you Danny Ainge.

Not to mention having another team to pay attention to in the offseason. Every move they make will be scrutinized.

The key for how much we care about the Nets picks in '17 and '18 rests on how well we do this postseason, the team going into next season, and how well we do next season with that team. If Danny gets Durant and grabs Ingram, then we start entering into the mission accomplished phase of the plan. You put two great shooters on a team that is missing shooters and we have the steak, the potatoes, and the gravy. Anything else becomes additional gravy.

I might just have a heart attack on May 17. If I'm feeling nervous now about the draft lottery, what am I gonna do when those team names keep getting called as the picks get closer and closer to #1?

[rickrolled]

One thing that might be in Houstons favor is they are 2-0 vs the twolves, so IF they beat the Lakers at home, and Clippers crush the Mavs.

THEN....they beat the twolves and UTAH crushes the Mavs.....

It's down to ONE game...Spurs @ Mavs....and Sacramento @ Houston...Rondo hates the Mavs and said he would like to send them on vacation early together with his team...depends what team the Spurs sends...but they need to stay in game shape before the playoffs so they might play their starters...

Fingers crossed.

[SMTBSI]

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

It's very possible...

But, if it comes down to the last day, I can also see San Antonio resting literally their entire team the last game of the season (we may see the first forfeit in NBA history).

I don't really get why the Suns don't join the tank fest on this critical moment for them?!

What are they supposed to do? They shelved their two best players and others (injuries to be fair). They have to send 5 guys out there at a time, and the vets want to play. The rookies want to play. Players and coaches don't tank.

Suns have gone from a 1.5 point favorite last night to a 3.5 point favorite at this moment. I like this. Not sure why but large bettors (who usually are not stupid) are bidding up the Suns.

Goooooooooooooooooo Sunnnnssss!!!

We need this one badly

[FlatearthZorro]

Suns with same starting lineup, they should definitely have a good shot at winning this.


Watching Tyson Chandler, and man, if his contract was 3 years instead of 4, he'd do a great job for us... His agent is a magician, at 33, you get a 4 year deal at 13/14 mils a year

[klemen4]

Devin Booker ...13th draft pick last year

[brackdan70]

Suns going to blow them out here

[jirrit]

looking rock solid

come on!!!!!

[klemen4]

Very good game in New Orleans...Pelicans are playing really good with Frazier at pg.

It will be very, very close imo...please let Suns win.

I can not concentrate on ATL:BOS game...looking Pho game on laptop

[lon3lytoaster]

Suns by 14.. Please, please.

[jmr07019]

Come on Suns you got this!!!

I'm already ready for the next 2 seasons, this is actually year 3 of the 5 year plan.

I know way more about the nets than I ever cared to learn at this point.

[klemen4]

Yesss...+18...one more quarter, its not over but it looks good!!
