Picking outside the top 4 is about a coin flip even for the worst record, so that wouldn't be shocking at all. I'd hate for us to surpass Charlotte and end up picking 7th or 8th though. That's a scenario I would freak out (metaphorically)
Don’t worry Pop is saving those Gorgui Mamu Barlow likeups for when it really matters.

Let’s hope - because for some reason per the usual our own fans dont know our team very well and underestimate our talent. It’s is entirely up to Pop to manage this. Because if we are remotely healthy and Pop plays everyone as usual, I have no doubt it’s going to be very close with CHA
Need CHA v HOU v DET games are so freaking big now for those teams
@ Pelicans
@ Bucks (b2b)
@ Wizards
@ Celtics
Jazz
@ Warriors
@ Kings
@ Suns
Blazers
Wolves
@ Mavs
Home games are all against teams of questionable quality and Pop should tank accordingly.
Pelicans are in freefall and Wizards are bad.
Rockets have Pelicans later tonight, then 6 unwinnable games and Pistons-Lakers-Nuggets-Hornets-Wizards to end the season.
Hopefully Nuggets secure the first seed by the time they play the Rockets, so it's a stretch where they might stumble upon a few wins.
Third place shouldn't be in jeoperdy as Hornets are already at 22 wins.
hornets with a huge 4th quarter. up 5 with less than a minute to go
Hold on baby! Whew would be nice.
ya!
Thank you pacers. Hornets get the win tonight.
Houston hanging with golden state tonight.
was never a question if the spurs could or couldnt rack up 5, 6, or 7 more wins from the time lamelo went out... because that question basically operated under the assumption that the hornets were guaranteed to lose out. they've won 3 since lamelo's injury (spurs have won 5 in that span).
4 win cushion right now (though spurs have 2 more games to play than the hornets do). 6 of the hornets last 9 games come against teams that are sub-500 (2 games against dallas, one against cleveland)
Need New Orleans win tomorrow and take the loss on Thursday.
Vs Spurs tomorrow and Vs hornets on Thursday.
Hornets were down massive in the first quarter. This suggests they don't intend to just fall down. May be some pride in keeping that 4th rather than 3rd.
i think we want new orleans to lose to charlotte
Ya. We want CHa winning as many as possible. Ideal scenario is come April, CHA has it locked and Houston can beat them and jump SA
my bad lol. Corrected my post.
hornets winnable games the rest of the way look to be OKC and Houston.
maybe they can take the game against New Orleans or steal one of their 2 games against the Raptors.
Ya there’s a couple (Bulls imo): but really think they just need 1. Any more is great. Want that CHA V HOU game to go to HOU if possible
yeah i mean i guess leaping houston would be cool, but considering the bottom 3 have identical odds at landing the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th picks, the value is pretty small
Pacers are tanking bad.
It's amazing how the Rockets were hanging with the Warriors for the first 3 quarters, then all of a sudden go down by 15.
So if we wind up tied with Houston they move to 3rd since they own better conf and div records right?
tie breakers for nba draft spots are decided by coin flip.
tbh, looks like everyone but DET got the memo from Silver after the ASG
With the win of the Hornets today, imo we're ok and pretty sure for the top 3. I really don't count on the Rockets and i hope to finish ahead of them, such a bad team.
Spurs were up 29 vs. the Grizz.
Good teams know when to turn it on.
