Darn, so you're saying the Sixers might tank to try and get a pick in the top 6? I hope they don't.
That makes it possible for Sixers to tank for that pick.

The positive in that is that the pick doesn't convey to OKC but yeah better for the Sixers to pass up both the Spurs and Atlanta to increase the Spurs odds of a top 4 pick.
Philly is the TURD in the punchbowl.
They should be better and be placing more pressure on Atlanta.
guess philly aint trying to make the playoffs...bunch of morons.Easy walkin into the playoffs for atl ffs.
of course the Bucks lose against Atlanta, then turn around and beat the Sixers with Embiid
Just great. Philadelphia are really screwing us over. Not sure if they suck this bad or a low key tanking.
This is the post that caused the Hawks to start winning again, and everyone else in the EC play-in hunt to start losing.
Yikes. This will be my last post on the subject this until the regular season concludes.
This isn't going to end well for us is it?
If they don’t OKC gets it, and that’s FAR worse than one or two positions for the ATL pick.
I'm going to throw up if OKC gets the 7th or 8th pick.
Hawks about to beat the Magic. 3 wins in a row now.
Hawks win tonight in Orlando and still have 3 more against the Magic this season. Dammit
That‘s cause the Magic are trash. The Spurs are just bigger trash.
It’s up to the Spurs to revert to tank mode and try to get down to 13th in the West. If they set their minds to it they can get down to the 8th-worst record and hope for lottery luck. The Atlanta pick is going to be late lottery.
Out-tank Philly n we good
Atlanta out of the lottery now.
Spurs with only a 14% chance at a top 4 pick. Try by adding more role players like what are currently on the team instead of upgrading with high draft picks.
The recent atl trades could of made them better.Maybe they are not as bad as we thought.
38 points from their trade acquisitions off the bench
Landry got B.Wrong nervous.
If the Spurs actually didn't choke it away and beat the Magic the other night, maybe the Magic would have had a lot more incentive to win last night. Spurs doubly screwed themselves over throwing away that Magic game the other night.
We better buckle up and be ready to have no top 10 picks this year boys. The possibility of Atlanta being out of the lottery, spurs pick being really low lottery, and OKC getting a top 7-8 pick is so high right now.
I'm gonna throw up
This board over reacts from day to day. Atlanta goes on an 8 games losing streak then it beats a few team in an easy stretch on their schedule and people are ready to declare them something that they are not. This team will finish no better than 9th in the east. They aren't good. 9-11 in the east is their range...
They're almost guaranteed to make the play-in and at that point it doesn't really matter if they're 7th or 10th seed.
They'll have a better record than at least 8 teams, maybe up to 10.
The only way they're not in 8th-10th best odds range is if they somehow make the playoffs.
It's going to be tough for Atlanta to fall out of the playoffs. Atlanta is trying to win, how are they going to be overtaken by Chicago, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Toronto, Charlotte, or the Hornets? The best case scenario is they will get passed by Orlando and Philadelphia. But that stills has them in the top 10 and do you really doubt they'll not win the games for the play-in? The Spurs have a much tougher path to the play-in so maybe they will get a lottery pick, but I wouldn't doubt them going on a run to end the season either.
imo there's a big difference between 7th/8th and 9th/10th. In the 9/10 spot they only have to have one bad game to be knocked out, whereas in the 7/8 spot they only have to have one good game to get the playoff spot.
I would much rather them be 9/10 than 7/8, and that's a real tossup given how close DET/MIA/ATL/ORL are. Even the 10 spot looks unlikely for the Hawks given how bad the Sixers have been.
