Why is any of that good. We're worse than both and own the Bulls' 2nd round pick.

We were only 2 wins ahead of the Hornets- don't lose sights of the teams behind us, we're only a few wins away from disaster

Correct - we need to maintain distance from these teams, when they increase the distance it's a good thing. The bulls second round pick will move in the wrong direction but a second round pick moving a few slots is much lower risk than the Bulls overtaking us.

Yeah good points. We want both teams to remain in the playoffs chase as long as possible so they beat us in our upcoming games and also don't overtake us in the tankathon. The second round pick placement should not be a concern.

Mavs won earlier as well and Wolves play Pelicans later so thats another W for one or other. Things are getting very interesting as to just who low we can fall here.

Hell yeah. I had that game circled because the Celtics were missing Isaiah Thomas. That's awesome news. Philly has Orlando tomorrow and two more games against the Nets!!

4) Magic 25-45
Sixers, Nets x 2

5) Sixers 26-43
Magic, nets x2, Knicks

6) Kings 27-43
Pelicans, Twolves, Mavs, Lakers, suns

7) Knicks 27-42
Blazers, Sixers

8) Twolves 28-41
Lakers x3, Kings, Blazers x 2

9) Pelicans 29-41
Mavs, Kings, lakers, Blazers

10) Mavs 30-39
Pelicans, Nets, kings

11) Blazers 32-37
Knicks, Twolves x3, Lakers, Suns x2, pelicans

Sixers Vs Magic game is tonight! We had better not cancel out the result with a win ourselves!

- 0-4
- Mathematical elimination from the playoffs

Then increased PT for Plumlee, NDour and Kuz

The last couple of minutes were hilarious stuff. NEITHER tea wanting to win. There are going to be a few tank classics before this is over with our game, the final game against Philly likely to be one for the ages.

Given the schedule and the fact I don't see the Nets, Lakers and Suns moving from 1-3 it's really now looking like being between us, Orlando and Philly for 4-6. If we lose every game we will definitely get 4th and even 1-12 may be enough. I actually think Orlando winning is the best result as they have played more games and only have the Nets twice whereas Philly have the Nets twice and us.

Haha - agreed. Looking like neither team wants to win.

I also agree that Orlando winning might be better. They have a decent young core. I actually like a fair amount of their starters. I'm surprised they're as bad as they are.
