I wonder if people realize how little this win shifts the lottery percentages. No, probably not.
I can come back from 9 points down and beat a totally tanking team.
Actually the Spurs finished 28-54 in the 1986-87 season, but my fingers are crossed for us to have the same end result in the lottery 36 years later.
It doesn’t matter if they’re bottom two or bottom three.
I always mistake that. We moved to San Antonio in 1988 when Spurs had the dismal 21-61 record, yipee! That year they drafted Sean, then the following season 1989-90 at DRob rookie year, they finished 56-26 which was the biggest turnaround then. Since then I became a fan.
And no matter how many times it is explained here, no less.
People freaking out about a 7% chance at #7, when we have DOUBLE that chance, 14%, to nab Wemby.
People are going to cry and MORE about missing out on a top 2 pick in the lottery than they would cry and about being 6 or 7. And it won’t get through to their heads that no matter what seeding we have now doesn’t matter in terms of the odds of landing any of the top 4 picks. People are stoopid.
And it's only a one in two chance of not having that 7% chance at #7 and slightly beefier chance at #6, because they would be tied with Houston. This win doesn't really matter.
Still better 2nd than 3rd. They get the higher 2nd round pick too. Can miss out on a solid 2nd round pick by one pick.
The thought of doing as well as possible is just not a policy of 2018 - present Popper crowd.
And what 2nd round pick has ST honestly been excited about?
Blair tbh.

Great! 37th pick who no one had high hopes for pre-draft and is one pick out of over 50 in two decades.
The point is not that you can or cant get a good player in the 2nd round. It’s that putting all your eggs in that basket is what’s appalling and that no one really has that high expectations for those players in the first place. If you did, you’re lying. ST is as cynical as they come.

Nickola Jokic.
For Sniffers there is Patty Mills, altho drafted by Portland.
Goran Drajic.
With the 2nd worst record, the Spurs highest percentage would be landing at #5 with a possibility of dropping to #6.
With the 3rd worst record, the Spurs highest percentage is landing at #6 and opens up the possibility of falling all the way to #7. As it stands, we have a 40% chance of finishing top 3, and a 33% chance of ending up with 6 or 7.
Basically, getting the 2nd worst record gives San Antonio a 13% higher percentage of NOT dropping out of the top 5....which, as stated is roughly the same percentage we have to nab Wendy.
The ship has basically already sailed, but when we are arguing percentage points then 13% is NOT insignificant.
So allowing a tanking team that's up 119-110 with under 5 minutes left to go ahead and win in exchange for moving from 2nd to 3rd "putting all your eggs in that basket" and is a bad thing?
The point is completely going over your head, man.
the irony
Who cares about top 5? It’s a top 3 draft. Besides, it was a coin flip, anyway. We didn’t HAVE second, and drop to third. We were briefly tied. It would almost be worth Houston winning another one to see all of you in a tizzy again.

The way this season is going, a Houston win would be a howl.
