Sixers-Pelicans Lottery Thread

[ice grillin you]

thats incredibly low imo...they are gonna win another game....shtein they are gonna win tonight

should be at least +1200

tank you tank you all so much

amazing part of that loss is that it was tied with three minutes left....sixers off since tuesday fold in the stretch....jazz at the end of a long ass roadie and back to back games this weekend step up

i wish this sixer team as currently constituted was the team they went into the season with just to see the record broken

[QB Eagles]

After winning 3 straight, the Pellies are now 4 games back of the Celtics, Jazz, and Kings, who are tied for the 5 spot. I'm not too sure that all of those teams have more than 4 wins left in the tank.

Basically I'm back to rooting for the Pelicans to lose as much as possible to drive up that second draft pick.

i feel like 50% of the teams that have a chance of picking before the sixers end up going embiid. i'm lot gonna lose any sleep with one of the big 3 and then a nice 2 guard with the pelicans pick. i still believe we get wiggy. that is a boner worthy starting 4.

theres no two's worthy in the range that the pellies pick would fall

wiggy is the two

i still hold hope that if they get the pellies pick they use thad and some two's to move up

I'd love that too, but is there a trading partner that stupid?

If everything broke perfectly I could see like Randle falling to #6, maybe if #5 needs a guard a lot more than a forward, but that might be the same kind of situation where a team could swing a trade into the 5 spot. To have the Sixers sitting on the 6th pick, the Pelicans would need to finish in spots 3-6 though, and that's looking unlikely.

Thank god the Pelicans are out west or they'd be sniffing playoffs.

Our luck is Wiggy and Randle buck the trend and stay in school

sixers 15-48
bucks 13-50

three team race to determine the top 3 now....also root hard for memphis to miss the playoffs...they are currently the 8 seed a half game ahead of pheonix...making the playoffs could cause their second round pick which the sixers own to drop as many as 5 spots...want lots of cleveland losses as well as the sixers have their second rounder...they also have the net and rocket 2nd rounders but no real chance either of those picks will be in the top half of the round

1. bucks --
2. sixers 2
3. magic 5
4. lakers 8.5
5. jazz 8.5
6. kings 9
7. celts 9
8. cavs 10.5
9. pistons 11
10. knicks 11
11. pellies 13 (5.5 back of the five spot)

[MDS]

race is over

sixers wont win again this year and the bucks will win 3 at least

wiggins wiggins say my name....

root hard for memphis to miss the playoffs...they are currently the 8 seed a half game ahead of pheonix...making the playoffs could cause their second round pick which the sixers own to drop as many as 5 spots

The entire second round is based on record....playoff and non-playoff mixed together

[QB Eagles]

If the Celtics beat the Pelicans today, they would drop to #6 and the Pelicans would bump up to being tied for the 9 spot, with 5 straight games against playoff teams coming up.

I don't think either team has an interest in that outcome. Could be the first Pellies double digit win since January.
