    1. It's bittersweet making the play in. Everyone knows they would be better off long term with a better pick but fuck it. This team has played really hard all season and they deserve some reward. They

I think we all saw this coming given how other teams fared with this latest wave.

 

Tyler Johnson and Anthony Lamb coming aboard for a bit......

Josh Primo, please pick up the white courtesy phone, Josh Primo. Let's see what the youngster can do.

This is going to be a slaughter. 

The 6ers are perfectly capable of fucking around and blowing a 20 point lead.

Unfortunately this team has less than zero answer for Embiid. Nor the offensive acumen to close a gap like this. 

We're still in 10th place in the West.  As bad as we've been lately, the bottom teams continue to be worse.  We really need to up our tanking game!

Unfortunately I think this one today can be had. BKN is reeling for whatever reason and it's an 11 am tip. 

I doubt we win but we could potentially make them sweat.

Nevermind we're about to get stomped. Just here to serve as the slump buster. 

Oh wait - there's the Nets team we've seen. Yeah we might fuck around and win this.

Ah - the Nets appear to have woken up and realized they're playing DJ and the Austin Spurs. 

I think the tank should be safe today. 

I actually thought we held KD in check pretty well - esp. with DJ on him - and I see that he has 18 on 7/9 shooting.

Landale takes offense to tanking discussions.

He absolutely ran BG off the floor. Main reason this is still sort of a game. 

Hell of a game from a lot of players. I know KD is going to go off if there’s an overtime, but impressed with KBD, Primo, and Landale. Also Dejounte is so fucking awesome.

Sleeper agent Patty Mills got us to overtime. 

Are you a rookie? Maybe even a 2nd round draft pick?

Are you killing yourself in the G League trying to make the show?

Well come on down to Barclays today at noon for your chance to impact a real live NBA basketball game!

Seriously this was hilarious. Including the game tying triple to go to OT and game winner in OT both by rookies. And I believe Primo and Thomas were the only 1st round picks on the floor.

Oh shit Harden pulled the Ginobili. 

Pop pulls out Primo for missing a defensive rotation. Pop inserts Forbes as an example of missing four defensive rotations in one possession. I fucking hate watching this shithead play for the Spurs. 

RJ Barrett is the second coming every time he plays the Spurs.

In a way, it's kind of fun for us, though.

Did Pop break the all-time win record yet?

1-6 in their last seven and still percentage points ahead of the kings (16-27) and pels (15-26) at 15-25. I think Sac finishes ahead of them ultimately, although we should never underestimate the Kings ability to fuck themselves up. If that fatass Zion ever gets healthy, so should the Pels but there's not much hope in that happening. I think they are going to tank it.

Regardless, the Spurs aren't catching Detroit or Orlando (9 and 7 wins, respectively). They have an outside shot at OKC (13-27) but I don't think it's likely. I don't think they are catching Houston (11-31) either, but that's a big game tonight. Losing would be tough, but they have a shot depending on the status of KJ, Vassell and White. I think any game is losable with those three not playing, even against a team that is circling the drain as bad as the Rockets.

So lottery wise, I think they are looking at the 6 spot at best, which would give them a 39.5% chance at the top 4 and a 9.7% chance at the #1 pick. I could see them falling as low as 9 (20.3% chance top 4; 4.5% chance at #1). It would really surprise me if they finished ahead of Portland or Indiana, unless either or both of them decide to pull the plug on the season. Atlanta is right there at 17-22, but if they go from ECF to not making the playoffs somebody needs to get fired/traded. They have got to start playing better, I think.

Lottery Scenario:

1. Orlando
2. Detroit
3. Houston
4. OKC
5. NOLA
6. Spurs --- probably best hope
7. Sac
8. Indiana
9. Portland
9. Spurs --- probably worst case

Looking ahead... 7 game home stand and 12 out of 14 at home before the rodeo. This schedule is dumb but other than the Rockets (3x) and OKC, I doubt they are favored in any of those games outside of the Clippers and that's a big maybe on that one. Who knows what the hell is going to happen with the virus, but 5-9 would be good I think.

I assume Pop plans on sticking around with how much he plays Forbes. 

I mean - after Becky bolted I figured that meant that Pop wasn't done. But stuff like this sort of confirms it.

@Mitch Cumsteen gonna bust if we lose to this shitass Rockets team.

I do think we need to be careful about losing too much and altering the mindset of someone like DJ. I don't want him getting frustrated and beleaguered because we're in the fucking lottery every year.

Great loss last night. I think my favorite part of the broadcast was when whoever was subbing for Sean said, "they really miss Drew Eubanks tonight." Honestly, it might have been the highlight of the season for me. 

That said, Dame having surgery puts Portland into complete free fall tank mode. I wasn't counting on that, so that's another ping pong ball competitor. Still, if they can botch up this home stand, which is off to a fantastic start, the rodeo will put nails into the coffin. Let's do this.

Your stream is well ahead of mine.

Teams attacking Forbes. Tale as old as time.

You can say that twice.

I didn't understand the signing but now I'm kind of thinking he's the perfect self-sabatoge to not win too many games. 

And he is good from 3 - he just does almost nothing else. He's averaging 3.1 rebounds, assists, steals and blocks combined in 17 mpg.

We need an athletic big man and a true 3 in the worst way. . These small lineups we continue to put out there is killing us. . .

Pretending like Eubanks and KBD aren't on the roster.

Please be right for once, Hoops Hype.

I'll give them Forbes and a conditional second round pick for David Thompson's knee that he shredded in the old timer's game back when they had an old timer's game as part of all star weekend.

This feels like one of those games where the other team dicks around for three quarters and then clamps down on defense in the fourth and choke the spurs out.

Yeah all PHX had to do was keep it close. 

Although we didn't have to self-destruct this badly.

Suns are pretty clearly the best team in the league through ~43 games imo.
