    Ha! This thread has almost fallen off the map! I gotta admit; I tuned out in the fourth quarter last night. Not sure what could inspire me right now. Seeing Pels get eliminated in the playins, I guess....

    I like watching that Eubanks hook shot. Doesn't seem to bother him how big the defender is.

    He can't guard the big guys though? Isn't he really a PF?

    This is definitely playing out the string, although I think they will give good effort in the home finale.

    If the Spurs beat the Warriors tomorrow and then beat the Mavericks on Sunday while the Pelicans drop their last two games against the Grizz who might still play to win in their second to last game and then the Warriors who I don't know if they'll be playing to win... then the Spurs will have the same record as the Pels and be ahead of them via tie breaker. The Spurs could just insure that the Pelicans pick goes up a spot by beating them and then beating the loser of the 7/8 game and making the playoffs.

    What I'm hoping for is that but more likely is the Knicks either tying the Pels or even passing them.

    Anyway, whether it's 10, 11 or most likely 12, I'll just be happy if the pick conveys.

    "conceivably" is the wiggle word. Conceivably, I will win the lottery

    It's fun that we're getting to watch our summer league team months earlier than usual! Of course, the actual summer league team will be better, because we should have at least one high draft pick added to it.
