Tankapolooza: Draft Lottery Odds/Watch thread

[yoyojw17]

The more I watch Tatum he looks like such a stud. Could be a really high scorer in the league.

People kept pushing his value lately.... so i started taking note of him and was pretty impressed. Kind of reminds me of what we all hoped tobias harris would have been if he took it up another notch..... sans the tweener label. lol He's starting to get up there on my list too. I like the fact that he has shown the ability to go to work on an iso and score in a multitude of ways..... and facilitate.

Which now puts me at a 6 player draft as of now.

Lakers are only looking for a 2nd rounder for Nick Young. Lakers are all in for the tank. We need to respond with something.

And just like that, we did not respond.

Knicks only 2.5 games behind us in loss column. We play them on Wednesday at home. Could be something to watch.

Kings think Hield has Steph Curry potential and don't even start him in his first game. They're also still starting Koufos over WCS. Poor kings fans.

great tank win today, blazers were only 2 wins ahead of us.

Its only halftime and the Sacramento with Willie Cousins Stein are already blowing out the Nuggets It would be pretty hilarious if they actually somehow become a better team w/o Cousins. Oh and Buddy Curry is having himself a half.

Cousins/Davis had huge games and got blown out lol. Would be huge for us if Kings can pull out some wins here and there with that squad.

They lost boogie, but his replacement WCS dropped 29 pts, Evans and Buddy added 31 pts off the bench. That team has been refreshed with the trade.

So many teams in this tank!! Winning is absolutely forbidden for us at this point.

Seeing WCS put up that stat line has me even more mad that we passed on him. Meanwhile Biyombo gets $17M a year.

Are we really gonna start comparing every good random game to our overpaid players?

THE WARRIORS DROPPED 50 IN A QUARTER WHY DIDNT WE DRAFT CURRY AND THOMPSON FIRE HENNIGAN!

take aways from last night's game? We played better as a team then we had in a while, we shot poorly the whole game yet lead most of it before we ran out of gas, Terrence Ross is a play maker, he had what one assist, but 5 or 6 other very nice passes that lead to free-throw line trips, that's another thing, we shot poorly from free-throw too, the whole team shot poorly Ross included, but there are positive take aways from last night's game, the ball needs to be in Ross's hands more then Fournier's simply because he makes plays, ep4 definitely needs to be replaced with our draft pick, Mario looked real good in the first but hardly touched the ball in the second, if we some how make the playoffs I won't be mad cuz it means this team has promise, and we can add to that, but I want a top pick so I want us to compete bit lose, we need Fultz or Ball, unless Dennis Smith Jr is the next Chris Paul or Isaiah Thomas I want nothing to do with a tiny PG

Good loss last night but we have to keep this going. We actually played very well yesterday which is concerning to the tank. Not to mention we have some winnable games left. The sad reality is we are going to win some games late in this season. Looking at the schedule I see at least 7 more wins. That could be very costly if im right. We need to do something.

Mario getting mins and makes most of it, Gordon back at PF , good night was tank it was. Thanks Vučević for all that bricks and mistakes when you didn't box out, your no effort for defense helps tanking.

[OrlandoDream]

Our 4th spot is safe as of now, but not for the rest of the season. Dont be surprised if this team wins an extra couple of games that is not expected. If you look at last night's game, we didn't look that bad and sustained a lead for most of the game. But the Blazers have not one but two of what we dont....all star caliber players. We can stock up on as much talent as we want but having an all-star player gives you a better chance to win every night. Lillard was proof of that. He did what all stars do....close games.

NYK has Porzingis out....and they are terrible. WE play them twice coming up and I expect to win those games. We also play Brook two more times. I think its going to be a fierce race til the end and we are gonna end up with the 5th best odds. Philly will prob keep Embiid out for the rest of the year with Simmons ruled out too.

Not healed...Yeah right.

Philly is the biggest threat to the 4th spot. They have a hard schedule the rest of the way but if Embiid comes back they should win as many games as we do. I don't see us slipping past 5. New York has a very easy schedule the rest of the way and porzingis didn't suffer a serious injury. Dallas is much better than us especially with Noel. Sacramento is a lot better than people realize and may end up being just as good or better now that their freed of Boogie. New Orleans is also going to be better than us as well as Charlotte. Our schedule is fairly difficult && I don't see us getting past 30 wins && that's including winning unexpected games. That should firmly put us in the top 5.

The second Knicks games is a back to back after playing at Washington. The Phoenix game is a back to back away game after playing @ Golden state. One of the Brooklyn games is also a back to back away game after playing at Boston. I think it's going to be really tough to get to 30 wins. Easily could see 26-28 wins this year.
