14th Tank Platoon

[Doublea]

So the 76ers are up next...


Somebody tell me how the **** did they lose 15 in a row?

Well Harpring said that they weren't trying to win.

It was there plan from day one after the draft. The only obstacles that kept them from being the absolute worst record is MCW's ROY performance and Evan Turner's contract year play.

 

[Stifle Tower]

So will tomorrow be a variation of the classic paradox: "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?"

Will one team actually win? Perhaps Utah and Philadelphia take turns scoring in the wrong basket? Or Maybe DL can convince Hinkie that Philadelphia needs to win just one more time (against Utah) in order to assure Silver that they aren't losing on purpose.


Seriously, though...win or lose this has been a FANTASTIC road trip. I was really worried the Jazz would win 3 or 4 games. Now they'll likely come home with just 1 victory. And hopefully the malaise lasts through the Atlanta game.

 

[Fishsticks]

Constantly in flux, but fwiw hollingers odds has is coming in with the 5th worst record. Much improved outlook from a few weeks ago.

Couple of easy games (and likely wins) at Philadelphia and then home vs. Atlanta. After that, it's a tough 5-game stretch.

Stop being a downer! Cavs, Bucks and Knicks were easy games and likely wins as well.

5th is probably the most precarious spot. 29% to move into the top 3. 61% to move down.

That's strange, wouldn't the other spots have high moving down percentages too?

You've ommitted the chance of remaining at 5... so no.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

So that Jazz are in 6th, and I feel like we'll do well to stay there. We need to hold off the Kings.

Vonleh or Exum maybe.

 

[The Thriller]

If Exum is the best we can do then this entire FO needs to be sent to exile to Afghanistan.

The jazz need to sell the farm to move up. Yes, that includes trading anyone from this roster and combining it with any number of draft picks. The bucks and Sixers have so many holes that a trade proposal of Burke/burks/Hayward/kanter/Favors + our picks from this year would have to interest those two teams.

Wiggins/Parker is worth it for us. While, those other teams without any talent might wet their pants at the prospect of completely rebuilding their team with a few of our role players and a bazillion lotto picks. Philly could quickly rebuild if they got burks and our two picks combined with their own pick(s)

Freak'n GS had a good road trip. Looks like they will make the playoffs. Does anyone know if Thompson's injury is serious?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Ending up 5th in the lotto of this draft would be appreciably better than ending up 6th. The 5th lotto slot has a 56.3% chance of ending up with a top-5 pick. Whereas, the 6th lotto slot has just a 21.5% chance of getting a top-5 pick.

The difference between the 5th spot and 6th spot may come down to just one or two games, yet it more than doubles the odds of getting a top-5 pick---Embiid, Wiggins, Parker, Randle, Exum.

I would jump foy joy if we get slotted at 5. And as of right now its very possible (records wise)
However im pretty sure that we wont tank hard enough and we are more talented than boston, lakers, and kings so we wont get to 5

I hate to say this...I'll burn in hell but.....
