Also it seems even wilder that Tech cant get on the court when you consider that Malik freaking Beasley is there and runner up in 6th man of the year betting odds. With us Beasley looked like an offensive black hole who cant defend a lick and Tech was "do it all" guy who made the whole team...

I'm wondering what has happened to Tech who is now getting DNP-CDs for Detroit. He finished last season great for Detroit and this year his mpg got cut in half. I think he could help Cade more in this series than Holland or even Ausar, who really is just a hustle and defense guy. They dont even...

Its crazy to think that Cade was 6 years old when Pistons won their last playoff game. Such droughts should not exist, and I'm happy its over.

Basketball is still a big man game. Steph is the only cheat code to that rule.

Vincent blocked Ant dunk tho. Knecht would never. Also lets not pretend like Knecht is Steph. He shot 37.6% from 3 this season which is a bit over league average.

Im not sure who you'd take out for Knecht? Their roster is also more lacking on the big man department and they are at a size disadvantagein this series which Knecht doesnt solve at all. Doncic 40 min, Reaves 36 min and Vincent 24 min ate all their guard minutes.

Reddick was hell bent on stopping Ant drives and that lead to so so so many wide open 3s. At times their secondary defender did more than "cheat towards help"... they blatantly dropped their guy and were left in no mans land. Only one whose shooting they respected was Donte, but Naz, McD...

Homie has missed you.

Sure, but low market value = cheap contract as well. He expanded his game and here he can continue to expand it or solidify himself as a guy who can do more than just spot up. Besides, if he was the best player in a 17 win team then anyone else here was the 2nd, 3rd or 4th best (etc) on a 17...

I dont care if we keep him or trade him... but dumping him for nothing is not it. The war chest doesnt just magically refill itself. All these kids we draft deplete it gradually, and we dont wanna end up only having our own picks to build with.

Collins gets too little respect here. I think he was our best performer this year alongside Kessler and some are just willing to straight up dump him.

My conspiracy on why we win the lottery. Tanking debate is tiresome and hurtful to the league. NBA wants to justify pushing changes to the system, so they award the dirtiest tanker #1 this year to enrage as many as possible to drive the change.

Simple explanation: They are currently #2. For them to fall to #6, 4 teams must pass them. But that means those 4 teams will also pass us, since the only way they pass Wizards is by getting a winning lottery ticket. If Jazz win in the lottery, then 4 teams cannot pass the Wizards anymore, as...

I am absolutely positively 14% sure we get the #1 overall pick! LFG!!

Same. I watched most of our first 60 or so games and maybe only like 5 or 6 of our last 20.

I agree on every point. We actually need to come up with a new term on how we address late FRPs and early SRPs. Maybe use something like "mid draft picks" which refers to picks in (late) 20s and (early) 30s. Fact is that you can argue that 31st pick is actually more valuable than 30th, because...

Funny anecdote to add here. Alphabetic order would have won by a margin of 5 points if it was a real contestant.... and 18 of its 43 points came from Dallas being #1 and OKC being #10 in said order.

I'm gonna update the OP soon with the final standings/scores once I get done with the nonsense of converting table formatting.... but we do not need the wrestling tie-breaker. Congrats to @Handlogten's Heros! You are the winner of this year's prediction contest by a convincing 4 point margin...

I will do it today.

I agreed on him being last/unknown based on what he has shown. I dont know how that didnt translate.
