Sixers-Pelicans Lottery Thread

[MDS]

sixers will get the 1 and the 6

i just know

[ice grillin you]

tried to tell you all....theres no way you can have a top 5 protected pick and finish 6th 7th 8th...its just not going to happen

5. four teams at 21 wins

pellies 23 wins

[MDS]

wiggins and parker gonna be nice

[ice grillin you]

reeeeeeeally nice win by the pellies......thank you lakers

The Jazz moved up to the 5 spot. I think these guys have zero pride and are totally focused on the lottery now, unlike the Knicks (who don't have a pick) and the Lakers (who just don't have tanking in their franchise DNA). And I think the Jazz are through with that little run of "success" they were having. Saturday's matchup with the Sixers could be a real shteinshow. I would not be surprised if the Jazz are the team that cockblocks the Pelicans down the stretch, if the Pellies try to go on a deep tank.

With the Pellies win against LA, I think the odds favor a second top 10 pick for the Sixers. A lot of stuff has to break rather badly to prevent it, either over the last month of the season or at the lottery. Sure it's just a few games, but there's a lot of teams bunched up there in the standings, and New Orleans would have to pass them all. And none of these teams are winning many more games. Plus, even if the Pellies get up to #5, the Sixers would still be 45% to keep their pick.

The one thing the Pelicans have in their favor is their tough remaining schedule, which thankfully includes two games against the aforementioned Jazz and a home game against the Celtics. Their last four games, all against the Thunder and Rockets, might as well be stamped losses right now though.

biggggg stretch for the bucks here

@ pellies, vs. wiz, vs. magic from here to monday. need to win at least 1 or its over.

[ice grillin you]

they may win one but the sixers have an equally easy strecth with utah, at knicks, kings

so even if milwaukee were to take one the sixers are going to do the same

[ice grillin you]

of the bottom ten teams in the league the pellies have the 9th hardest schedule the rest of the way

the knicks and jazz have the first and third easiest

these are two of the four teams that the pellies have to jump to get to the five spot

on the good side of things the lakers who are the team the pellies have to catch for the 5 spot have the most difficult (in fact the lakers have the second most difficult schedule in the entire nba.....tho they did just win at portland so who knows)

ftr the sixers have the third hardest

1. milwaukee
2. sixers - 2.5
3. magic - 5.5
4. celtics - 7.5
5. lakers - 8
6. jazz - 8.5
7. knicks - 9
8. kings - 9.5
9. cavs - 11
10. pellies - 11.5 (3.5 back of the lakers)

Jazz confirmed as tanking. Lost by 27 points to the horrible Knicks.

right then

[ice grillin you]

pellies out of the top ten

1. milwaukee
2. sixers - 2.5
3. magic - 5.5
4. lakers - 8
5. jazz - 8.5
6. celtics - 8.5
7. kings - 9.5
8. knicks - 10
9. cavs - 11
10. detroit 11.5

pellies - 12.5 (4 back of the five spot)

i think the sixers win tonight....jazz got rolled by the putrid knicks last night....so not only is tonight a back to back but the sixers haven't played in three days and its the last game of a seven game roadie and they are flying to utah after the game....can you say already on the plane...its acutally a schedule quirk where if the jazz were any good they would have beef

put it this way if the sixers lose tonight they really might not win another game

[phattymatty]

already on the plane
