Seriously, if there was ever a season to tank is this one. The Spurs better not this up. What the are Poeltl and Richardson doing still on the roster? Trade their asses now.
Haha that guy's older than me.

19pts, 6rbds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals on Friday.
#7 has jumped into the top 4 every year of the new flattened odds, and won the lottery once. FINISHING in the bottom 4, it’s basically a coin flip if you will even STAY in the top 4 picks. It’s not bad luck to drop out of the top 4, it’s pretty normal. One year 3 teams got pushed out.
The difference is not so much about your chances of landing a top 4 pick (same for 1 though 3, almost for no. 4) but what happens if you don't land a top 4 pick. If you end up with the worst record, you're guaranteed to pick no lower than 5, and that's supposed to be a pretty good spot still. If you have the 7th worst record you might get lucky, but your more likely to pick 8 than you are to pick 1-4, and a statistical fluke doesn't prove otherwise.
The problem is that both of our teams have tanked to get the top pick.....Duncan, Hakeem etc...
But that was back when the worst record guaranteed the number 1 pick, now at best the worst record has a 14% chance of the top pick....not exactly guaranteeing anything.
DD
The Spurs didn't have the worst record when they landed the #1 pick in 97 though, so that was never guaranteed either. Always take a bit of luck
Boston had a 36% chance, we had a 21 % chance...
Whether OKC phucked up or Chet errored on his own, that injury in no way shape or form had to occur.
Wemb is a risk, but I believe how he plays will contribute greatly as to whether or not he gets injured.
Chet was looking fine thru ought the summer. The idiotic backpedaling attempt to stuff Lebron is what did him in.
LOL no. There is an NBA draft lottery because you guys tanked back to back for Sampson and Olajuwon.
37 points - 11/20 FG%

I'm glad PATFO has finally decided to listen to what I said 2 years ago about Victor.
My only concern: he decided to leave ASVEL (despite the fact TP plans to use him as the team's center piece) to join Metropolitains (which is a worse team) in order to be under the star light of Paris.
Not a concern. He actually went back to Paris for his last season in France so he could be close to his family and also he plays less games at Metropolitans 92 so he can focus on training & filling out.
I’d want to be in Paris too, lol.
We just have to be prepared to have these guys through their first max extension. I’m assuming they’re gone after that.
We gotta be real about the modern nba and the limits of being in south texas.
literally just move up the road 1 hour to austin it will solve the problem
I've lived in many major US cities. Austin is cool, but it's not THAT cool. Settle down.
Real talk: I'm also not sure how many NBA players are into that Mumford & Sons vibe it's got going on.
Hilarious but definitely some truth. It wouldn’t surprise me that players prefer the city of Houston to Austin. Austin has a lot of billionaires, but do players give a about hanging out with Elon Musk and talking about lithium batteries?
austin is overrated. it's a nicer place for younger persons but not necessarily younger persons of color. it really is lacking in culture. (it had some organic culture, albeit white, way back when it was a hippie town by the lake but those days are long since gone; and it gentrified away East Austin.)
damn back to back blocks on Henderson in that hi light reel
The balanced view here would be when the Spurs are already in a position to hit 7 or lower, keep that and not let CIA Dipstick go all out against tanking teams the final three weeks.
Like last season.
If he wants to play for Paris as a french (instead of Lyon which is the second metropolitain area in France), he would not be interested by Austin nor Houston, but only be interested to live in NYC, LA, SF and maybe Miami or Chicago.
Can someone give me a brief rundown or a link on how the draft works these days? I haven't really looked at the top of the lottery since we haven't really been there for 25+ years. So finishing in the bottom 4 doesn't increase your odds of getting the number 1 pick? Is there much difference between finishing say 7th or last?
I wouldn’t be mad (I prefer we get 1st) if we got the number 2 pick and Scoot Henderson. Dude was balling out there and barring injuries he is also going to be a really good player.
