Tankapolooza: Draft Lottery Odds/Watch thread

[OrlandoDream]

Enjoy this tank cushion because it all goes down from here. Our schedule is about to get considerably easier. It's undeniable that even though they are losing, team is playing much better. If the same team that played today shows up our last 6 games, I see us winning 4/6 easily.

We got Nets twice, Pacers, Bulls, and the awful Pistons.

Your right honestly

Nets - W
Cavs- L
Nets - W
Pacers - Toss up but I'll say L
Bulls - Toss up but Ill say W
Pistons - W

We are gonna need some help to not fall. Sixers will catch us but we gonna need some help from the Knicks to not fall all the way to 6th. Kings got the Lakers and the suns on their schedule so I THINK we can hold them off. Failing to 7 would be a disaster.

How a team finishes in the standings is only part of the equation. The other part is that lottery luck. We have to hope the ping pong balls bounce our way for once since this rebuild.

Just start Zimmerman at center. We'd lose every game. Kid looks absolutely awful every time he plays, it's a virtual guarantee.

Agreed. Thats why the floor number is so important. If we stay a 4 our most likly spot will be 5. Which would net us Issac assuming Tatum goes 4. Falling to 5 our most likely number is 6 but there still a great chance we stay at 5. Falling any further then that is scary

I hope your right but I dunno how you can say the the Pistons game is a definite L with how they have been playing. With how we have been playing we can go head to head with the pacers and bulls. Neither of them are definite L's. We honestly could win both.

[j-ragg]

I don't think we win in Brooklyn tonight. At home we probably will.

Pacers are playing bad basketball. Team is running amok and reports saying their locker room is the lowest it's been all season. With PG trade rumours it only makes it worse. They are vulnerable right now.

Pistons are a crap show. They really have checked out and are playing some bad basketball.

Chicago is a 50/50 to me. Let's see how rondo and Jimmy play.

But I can def see us winning another 3-4. TANK is important but these guys gotts convert on some of these close games. Development means nothing if you don't win a game here and there. They need it for thrir confidence

Id be ecstatic of we can split with the Nets.

3 is the absolute most we could win imo. Even with how good we've looked since the all star break we've still only played .500 basketball (6-12). Pacers and Bulls will be fighting for the playoffs. Both Nets games and the Pistons game are the three potential wins imo but I still don't think we win all 3. I think we either lose tonight or against Detroit.

[PrimeThyme]

Just start Zimmerman at center. We'd lose every game. Kid looks absolutely awful every time he plays, it's a virtual guarantee.

Yeah I say we give Cj Wilcox some burn too. I mean after all we did give up a 2nd round pick for this kid and we haven't played him at all this season. It would help the tank and we could see what we have in him.

There's a good chance fatigue might set in today but you know guys are gonna come out hard today after yesterday. I think we are still playing well enough to beat the Nets.

The sitting DJ and holding out green is not helping the tank. Bench actual competes without those two.

It's a toss up but I still see us winning 3-4 games. Which should be enough to keep the 6th then hope for lottery luck.

[rcklsscognition]

Covington is important to Philly on both ends, that is really going to hurt their chances of winning.

Yeah I agree. I'm not even going to say that it would be the worst thing if they did either. I mean after last nights game you can tell how desperately our young guys wanted to win that game. They have been playing hard and showing signs of breaking out so I can't say it would be a bad thing if we did win 3-4 games. In the long term it could be a good thing.

I agree but we are not gonna do it. Our stubborn front office still wants to win pointless games.

I forgot we did give up a pick for CJ Wilcox.. does anyone remember if the protections were loose or not, if so that was a pretty dumb trade

[PrimeThyme]

NETS WIN!!!!

[Viper1500]

A win here from SAC would almost guarantee no worse than 6th.
