    Now it’s even more hilarious why Nico felt it was so crucial to deal Luka. Wait a couple months??? Naw killer offer here. Pull the trigger.

    I've seriously explained this to you a few different times. We will still pick unless we make the PLAYOFFS. If we get into the play-in and lose we'll still be in the lotto and in the top 14. I do think a play-in game just got a lot more likely with Kyrie's injury and I guess anything can happen in winner takes all games. So we will see.

    I think getting our young team experience and freeing up all of our future picks for trades would be worth giving up the 15th pick in the draft.

    Wow! That's a bold prediction. We'll likely have to beat two really good teams in a row, with the playoffs riding on both games. Hey, if we're going to fuck up tanking we might as well get that experience and free up all of our future picks.

    SGA's having an awesome season - but to me it's still clearly Joker that can single-handedly wreck any team he's up against.

    they would have to beat the ninth seed and the sixth or seventh seed. I think those would be good teams especially what the Blazers would have to accomplish to get to the 10th seed. The Blazers would have to be considered good too.

    It is possible. Although I do expect us to lose our next 5. At best 1-4.

    I think we would match up well with the Kings in that first play-in game
    But that leaves GS, Clippers, or Twolves in game 2. Not seeing that going well.

    Yeah beat the ninth seed on their home court and then the loser of the 7 v 8 game on their home court. That being said anything can happen in a single game elimination situation.

    I give us about a 10% chance at making the playoffs after the news about Kyrie.
