The Sixers have only gained 4 games on the Bucks since the losing streak started

thats actually a ton if you consider that 4 wins is over 30% of the bucks total on the season

[QB Eagles]

Pellies came back from 22 down to beat the Nets in OT.

It's looking a lot like the second Sixers pick will be in the 10-14 range.

wayne selden who may have been an option with the pellies pick is staying in school

good news: the bucks won
bad news: they probably dont have a winnable game left

i wish i had a gif of this play at the end of the bucks lakers game last night....bucks were up two with like 7 seconds left and inbounding the ball at the advanced spot....so they inbound it to one guy...no foul from the lakers...kick it back out to ramon sessions...no foul by the lakers....ramon sessions throws the ball to a wide open giannas under the basket who gets a free layup with two seconds left....talk about tanking

One game out of a tie with the Bucks, just an fyi

In the event that teams finish with the same record, each tied team receives the average of the total number of combinations for the positions that they occupy. In 2007, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Portland Trail Blazers tied for the sixth worst record. The average of the 6th and 7th positions in the lottery was taken, resulting in each team getting 53 combinations (the average of 63 and 43). Should the average number not be an integer, a coin flip is then used to determine which team or teams receive the extra combination(s). The result of the coin flip is also used to determine who receives the earlier pick in the event that neither of the tied teams wins one of the first three picks via the lottery.

atlanta win is more important tonight than a sixer loss...with a W the hawks move into a tie with the pellies

pellies sit at 13th right now....but theres four teams within two wins of them

pellies - 32
nuggets - 32
hawks - 31
knicks - 31
cavs - 30

[MDS]

atlanta will be out of the lottery, they have the 8

[ice grillin you]

any of knicks hawks cavs could still get the 8...so yes one of those teams will not be in the mix but all of those teams are trying to win as much as possible which is a good thing

[BigEd76]

Big win by the Knicks last night at Golden State

[QB Eagles]

The Pellies lottery position is pretty much guaranteed to fall between 9 and 12. Can't see them catching Detroit or Minnesota on either end of that range.

Odds of jumping to the top 3:
9: 6.1%
10: 4%
11: 2.9%
12: 2.5%

cavs - 30 (@orl, mil, @det, bos)

sixers 16 (have a home and home with boston and what should be six losses)
bucks 14 (cleveland at home, last two games toronto and @ atlanta two teams that could very easily have nothing to play for)
