nice job Toronto.
I'm not really a math guy, but I imagine that us losing helps keep Toronto from getting lower, so as disappointing as the loss was last night, in the long-term it's probably a good thing. Wait, but then Memphis was 7. Nevermind?
nice job Toronto.
They’re not going to drop to 5. Portland is too prepared to hold their spot, and saw them coming in the rear view mirror. There isn’t enough time left. Memphis doesn’t seem to care, so Toronto probably finishes at #6 before the lottery. 56% chance at the pick, 29% chance of it being #7.
Mathematically, there’s a 54% chance that the Spurs get the pick if they stay at 6, and a 68% chance if they fall back to 7.
they'll stay at 6. So Spurs chances of getting the pick are about the same as an NFL kicker hitting a 57 yard FG
In year one, I’ll take the slim odds/huge payoff track.
Hopefully spurs stay lucky
Raps down 3 with 4 to play.... give up a 10-0 run
At least the Blazers aren't screwing around. They won't win another game unless it's by accident. I bet they sit their top 6 guys against the Wiz and Hornets in a couple weeks.
Hopefully the Grizz lose out and the Raps fluke their way into a W along the way.
Only obvious 'winnable' game left for Toronto is Washington in the last 10
So don't be surprised by them ending the season on a 21 game losing streak
And they'll pull bigger stunts next year in a better draft.
Scottie B won’t demand a trade??? lol
Yes for the thousandth time the math on TOR being at the 6 or 7th worst lotto ball spot is not much different. And the 5 teams in front of them are “entrenched” re worse record.
Did a little research on TaT, and for the 5 drafts using the current flattened odds, the #6 finisher has drafted 9,8,7,7,6. That’s better than the overall odds of them staying at 6, which are only 8.6%. They have decent odds at top 4, 37.2%, but that not a huge difference from spot #7, 32%, so I’m good with Toronto finishing the year at the #6 position.
Nice find!
Past history doesn’t matter at all. Just look at the odds.
The major difference in the odds between 6 and 7 is that if they are at 7 and stay there, we get the pick,but if they are at 6 and stay, Toronto keeps the pick. The odds of them staying at 6 (8.6%) are smaller than the odds of them winning the lottery (9.0%) Is that good enough for you?
I’ve said all along that in year one, I’d rather roll the dice on getting pick #7, and Toronto finishing at 6 gives us better odds (29.8%) than Toronto finishing at 7 (19.7%).
It’s definitely time to stop winning. I’d say Wemby, Sochan, Vassel all turned an ankle v Utah.
Play Sochan at PG again!
Nah it. Get some wins. Good for the guys to go out on a positive note and find successful formulas
Grab your ankles, I'll give you a successful formula
Wins are good for the club in terms of ticket sales next year too. Good for business.
They won, because Charlotte had already goofed, and won their game. Otherwise, Pop puts the ball in Malaki’s hands to bring up the court,and turnovers ensue. He’s decent enough in the half court when creating space for himself, but those cross court passes bringing the ball up are a ready made turnover. That’s the ‘tell’ if Pop wants the game or not.
Charlotte just shut down La Mello for the rest of the season.
