I can’t think of any other forum I’ve been on for 20+ years and still post on.
A few years back I offered to give them a Xeon server and a big, fast multi-drive tape backup - no strings attached. And OPS (Olympus Parcel Service) could have had it there in just a few days. Apparently not interested. C'est la vie.

So for Wednesday games:
Mavs/Kings - Prefer Mavs to win and beat Memphis for the 8th seed?
Heat/Bulls - Prefer Bulls to win so Dallas won't jump a spot in the lottery if Miami gets in the playoffs?
yep absolutely. becomes moot if the hawks win their next game, but if the hawks lose, this is the best case scenario
not really concerned with the mavs draft position. they traded luka. they're cooked.Heat/Bulls - Prefer Bulls to win so Dallas won't jump a spot in the lottery if Miami gets in the playoffs?
basically in this game you just want whichever team that you think has the best chance of knocking off ATL. if one thought chicago is more likely than miami to beat ATL, they should be pulling for chicago or vice versa
Jaime Jaquez is ing Spoelstra‘s ex-wife and buying her cars
They purged all the good a few years ago.
From what it sounds like Wiggins might be done tbh. He was almost out of the Dubs' rotation before the trade and even Spo couldn't get much out of him from what I've heard.
What do you mean by done? Does he have physical issues/injury, or do you mean washed up?
Washed up
nonsense tbh
since he got traded to miami he was playing well. 32 minutes per game, putting up 19/4/3 on his typically solid efficiency. he just got hurt toward the end
scottstradamus, tbqh
hopefully he has one more in him, tbh
$90M man Patrick Williams with 0 points on 0-2 FG with 2 rebounds and 1 steal in 15 minutes.
Sounds like a future Spur to me
Great call. Heat might get us that lottery pick. Go Heat!
so here are the scenarios now:
Atlanta and Dallas win: Atlanta gives us 16 (worst case scenario)
Atlanta and Memphis win: Atlanta gives us 15
Miami and Memphis win: Atlanta/Kings flip a coin, we either get 13 or 14 depending on outcome of the flip, Hawks get the other pick (from Sacto)
Miami and Dallas win: Atlanta/Kings flip a coin, we either get 12 or 13 depending on outcome of the flip. If we get 12, Hawks get 13. If we get 13, then 12 stays with Sacto. These are the two best outcomes on the board regardless of the flip.
In other words... GO MIAMI and DALLAS! Appreciate the scenarios! Thanks!
Atlanta plays first so we’ll know after that whether to root for Dallas or Memphis.
I’ve been angling for a wiggins trade instead of a lavine trade. Not sure if the ship has passed. Still think he'd be good value given his contract especially when compared to vassell. I’d give Vassell and a number of 2nds and a protected 1st for him. But I doubt Miami is willing to do it.
No. You root for Dallas. If they lose and fall back into the lottery, Sacto has no chance at being pushed up to #12, and their pick kept away from Atlanta. We need both #8s to get pushed into the lottery for Sacto to have a chance at #12. Our best scenario requires something that hasn’t happened yet to happen twice on Friday: a #10 playing in.
I can't believe I'd say this, Go Mavs!!
Ja listed as a Game Time Decision for Memphis, fyi
on one hand, he finished the game after the injury. on the other hand, sometimes these types of injuries swell up a lot worse after the fact making it possible to play some immediately after but then not later.
would be a huge loss for them. if memphis just tries to win via size/physicality absent Ja's quickness, the mavs match up quite well against that with their slew of bigs, and long wings in PJ and Naji marshall.
If the best case scenario is 8 and 12, here are some odds with those two spots.
The Spurs have a 32.3% chance of getting a top four pick.
The Spurs have a 1.6% chance of getting two top four picks.
The Spurs have a 7.3% chance of getting the #1 pick.
The Spurs have a 0.33% chance of getting the top two picks.
(Caveat, my math skills.)
yeah 8 and 12 is the best case scenario about maximizing our pick value in THIS draft, though i'd argue that 8 and 13 is actually our best case scenario, since that path theoretically upgrades our pick in the each of the next 2 drafts in exchange for moving down one slot this year
