Sixers-Pelicans Lottery Thread

[ice grillin you]

with a 5 game gap with only 5 to play sixers have locked up the #2 spot

now its a 100% pellie watch...probably gonna finish 10, 11 or 12 but with their brutal sked and the cavs friendly one its not out of the realm of poss that they fall to 9

pellies last five are awesome:

phoenix
@ okc
@ hou
okc
hou

12. nuggets -- (hou, @gs, utah, @lac, gs)
11. knicks .5  (@tor, chi, @bkyn, tor)
10. pellies 1 
9.  cavs 2.5 (det, @mil, bos, bklyn)

I like them for the 9, or at least tied for it. Not sure they have any wins left and look at those stinkers the Cavs have. Leaving aside the Bucks, the Celtics are so aggressively interested in losing right now that they lost to the Sixers (they could find themselves out of the top 5 if they farg around), and the Pistons have more to lose for than any other team. Right now Detroit is in the precarious 8 spot, with a 17% chance of pulling the 9 pick in the lottery and losing their top 8 protected pick. They can reduce that chance to under 2% by moving up to the 7 spot.

nuggets with a huge win last night in a great game over the warriors and the the brow out for the year puts the 12 spot out of reach and really makes the nine spot the favorite for where they finish up....couldnt have worked out much better

11. knicks 1.5  (@tor, chi, @bkyn, tor) - 3%
10. pellies 2.5  (@okc, @ hou, okc, hous) - 4%
9.  cavs  3 (@mil, bos, bklyn) - 6%

im in bizzaro world tonight...after living on the edge all year goin in the other direction it feels so weird to be rooting for the bucks to lose and the sixers to win

[MDS]

bucks should be able to win last game of the season vs. atlanta...the question is can they steal 1 of the next 2 vs. possibly disinterested toronto or washington?

what kind of capper to the year would it be to force a tie for the most lotto balls

[ice grillin you]

chances of pellies getting the knicks now ultra slim....but the farging cavs choked against the bucks or else the sixers would have two picks inside the top ten right now.....thats huge psychologically

11. knicks -  (chi, @bkyn, tor) - 3%
10. pellies 2  (@hou, okc, hous) - 4%
9.  cavs  2.5 (@mil, bos, bklyn) - 6%

[ice grillin you]

its down to 10 or 9


10. pellies -- (okc, hou) - 4%
9.  cavs  .5 (bos, bklyn) - 6%

Would have really liked 2 in the top 8, but I suppose top 10 will do.

Cavs-Celtics was yesterday. Celtics won (and their top 5 finish is threatened). Looking like it'll probably be a tie for 9.

NO could've still caught the Knicks for #11, but that was eliminated when NY won tonight

NO beat OKC, so it'll be #10 for the other pick
