    Theres a 90% chance they dont get a top 4 pick. Thats not worth missing the playoffs over.

    The Spurs have already won both games there this season, correct? I never, ever count out a Pops-coached team.

    SA versus NO - what ever team shoots the three ball best wins.

    Ha, that is funny, but not really accurate. Simons and Hart have already been chosen to replace CJ and NP IMO. It is more likely that it is Norm and RoCo squaring off against CJ to see who replaces Roco.

    Never count Popovich out. I agree.

    You are right. His take makes no sense.

    Pop better coach his ass off as the Pels have back court scoring, wing scoring and post scoring. They have a deep bench.

    It was a joking prediction from 2 months ago--not really a current take.

    Yes, and the Spurs actually won more games on the road than at home this season.

    Thanks for pointing that out. I totally missed the date on it. Pretty good prediction on the play-in game from Mike.

    Agreed, New Orleans will try to make the playoffs and I would too if I were part of that organization.

    However, if New Orleans does miss the playoffs and doesn't jump in the top 4, they would be able to keep the Milwaukee 2025 pick instead of owing it to us. In that scenario Charlotte would be the team screwed, as instead of a first round pick this year they get a second.

    So if I'm the Pelicans I look at it with positives no matter what happens of three possible outcomes;
    1. Make the playoffs
    2. Miss playoffs but get a top 4 pick
    3. Miss playoffs but now get to keep the Bucks 2025 pick

    Plus New Orleans already has the Lakers lottery pick this year no matter if it stays at 8 or jumps to the top 4. I think I'd like it to jump to #2 behind our #1 pick just to rub salt in the Lakers wounds.

    I think we all sadly know exactly what will happen. The Pelicans will win tonight, and then the Clippers will totally Clipper it up and lose the next game the Pelicans play.
