Too true

On another note. Detroit is up on Dallas early. Detroit has been playing decently lately.

Jerami, Plumlee, & Cory Jo all playing.

Cory Jo has been doing pretty well since they got him. Trading Delon was a clear tank move though. I’m surprised that the Pistons gave up on him so quickly, plays both sides of the court pretty well.

The allegedly tanking Raptors have won 4 in a row :lol:

It's a solid night for the tank no matter what with Cleveland beating Chicago.

Now hopefully Detroit can put the cherry on top in Dallas.

That plus a Minnesota win would be a HUGE night for us.

Washington beat OKC, so the Bulls are in 12th in the east.

Between them and Toronto, it's safe to say we're going to get a good lotto pick from the Bulls this summer if they don't get a top 4 pick

Agreed, I almost think we have a better hope of Detroit leapfrogging us to keep our bottom 4 spot.

They've lost 11 in a row with 14 games (including tonight) to go... They could end the season on a 25 game losing streak

I’ve had my eyes on them from when they went 110% tank a while ago and shutdown Horford, they’re going all in and I honestly don’t know if they win another. The Kings are the best chance.

Even more reason why Orlando must go full tank too and atmost win 1 more game. We control our destiny with this.

I hope we get atleast 3rd, outside chance of 2nd with Wolves getting 3rd, 5th at worst.

Before last night, OKC was outscored by a average of 28,5 ppg over there last 6 games. NBA record. Thats the worst rotation i've ever seen in the NBA. I would be really surprised if they doesnt lose out.

Bulls lost.
Thunder played better, only losing by 6. A win must be in their future.
Wizards won.
Raptors won.
Rockets lost.
Pistons lost.
Kings won (but).
Timberwolves lost; Sac played Minny.

This was a great night for the Bulls pick and a poor night for the Magic pick.

OKC plays 3 times sacramento, that s the only games i could see them win, it d be great if they could win 2 of them

drsd · Post #578 » by **drsd** » Thu Apr 22, 2021 7:09 am

Orlando is currently 1 1/2 games worse than #5 OKC
Orlando is currently 1/2 game better than Detroit.
(( The Magic looks certain to finish within a 3-5 range ))
....
Chicago is 1 full game outside the 10th seed play-in and is actually 12th behind both the Raptors and the Wizards
....
Chicago is currently 1/2 game better than #7 Sacramento
Chicago is currently 1/2 worse than #9 Toronto.
(( The Bulls looks certain to finish within a 7-11 range ))

Are you comfortable with Chicago getting better odds to leapfrog into the top 4? with every loss their odds get better, i'd rather them win some games to be honest....when is it too close for comfort?

They are too good at finding and developing quality undrafted and second round players to tank properly.

Also, the Birch effect. Not that he is all that good, but he replaced Aron Baynes, who was pretty much the worst rotation player in the league.
