They're the 8th seed...most of us had them pegged at #9.... that's pretty good analysis. They are who we thought they are..
Are you talking about Atl? They wouldn't sniff the playoffs in the WC.

Yeah, I can't see them being any worse next year with Jalen returning unless they trade Trae. ZR and Daniels will have a yr under their belt and should improve. Capella, Mann, and Levert could return or be replaced, but not much of an impact either way.
Yeah, and they getting Kings pick right?
Trae is a tremendous floor raiser and they have good coaching.
Unless Trae gets hurt our Spurs will need some improvements to be better than ATL next year.
Yep kings pick in the teens then lakers pick in 20s
Spurs finished with just 6 less wins in a way stronger conference, while throwing some games to secure a better draft position.
You think Hawks are better than Spurs with Wemby and Fox? Even if Mitch is coaching.
If both teams stay health, we get Wemby back annd they get Johnson back, and we have Pop or Mitch, then we are probably better but not by a lot.
Off-season moves will matter a lot, including coaching.
Do we sign anyone useful? Do we draft well? Do they draft well?
So where are we at with this?
Best case 13 worst case 16?
You got it. There is not way Hawks will be better than Spurs next year, unless injuries happen to Spurs Again. Spurs will likely be a top 4 in the west.
TBD. If ATL gets knocked into the lottery, and a WC team plays in, knocking GS out, it may push them up to 12, or they may defy the odds and get top 4.
Spurs should have a better record but neither should be expected to be in the lottery next year.
We are all Magic fans now.
"Orlando, I LOVE you!"

I believe it when I see it. Pop and Mitch could absolutely coach this team into the lottery again next season. That‘s the Spurs‘ culture for the past 7 years
This was a play-in team until Wemby went down.
So at this point we are hoping for Hawks to lose to Magic and then a coin flip between Hawks and Kings will determine if we get a lottery pick or not, is that right?
We want them to lose to Orlando and then lose in the next play-in game (Chicago or Miami). This pushes them into the lottery and we get that pick.
The cherry on top would be if Dallas plays in to the WC playoffs. If both happen, I believe Sacto’s pick would get pushed to 12, and Atlanta wouldn’t get it this year.
Note that we get their pick regardless, but if they lose those two games it will be better.
