Every one of those players last night were fighting to remain relevant in a violent roster churn league. Those guys fought their asses off.....and they deserved the fucking win. I LOVED it....and was proud to watch them accomplish it against a team with their reg season starters.
Can't wait until they hang the banner for that one! I'm going to be telling my grandchildren about that one for a long time. Should Skylar Mays get a statue before Dame?
I can't believe that there is one fucking person that's a fan of this team that thinks seeing Shaedon play four more games this season is worth risking dropping from 5 to 8 in the lotto. It's crazy that there are a lot of you. All of the losses we've had to endure this season and people want to squander that after we've already seen that Shae is legit, we've seen the growth he's made after playing 76 games in the NBA but some of you think 4 more is more important than guaranteeing the fifth position in the draft lottery. Unfuckingbelievable!
IF blazers end regular season with same exact win loss record as pacers, wizards, and magic, what's the 5th 6th 7th 8th draft odds gunna be?
They all split the odds equally. If the odds can't be exactly equal, then they do a coin flip to see who gets the extra 0.1% chance of winning.
The odds for the lottery are split evenly, but pre-lottery draft position will be determined by a tie-breaker involving coin flip or mini-lottery. definitely do Not want to start off with the 8th position pre-lottery. Starting with the 5th position means that there is about a 90% chance of getting a top-7 pick, which looks to be much better than the 8th pick and on. Similar to last year's draft where Shaedon Sharpe was picked at #7, then Dyson Daniels was picked at #8.
San Antonio is getting the first pick and Wembanyama. As far as the NBA is concerned Pops has earned it.
They already had their rewards in life. They don't need a 3rd generational talent damnit. Houston and San Antonio don't ever need to have another generational talent, they've more than had their share.
Cleveland is in no man’s land between the team ahead and behind them. I bet they rest their guys at least one of those games.
Actually there’s another goat player that we let Houston have…. #17 Mario Elie. He’s probably the reason why Shaedon wears 17.
Round 1 Pick 7, 17. I’ll never forget how close Mario put his feet together when he shot 3s. So funny.
Chill out lol.... fans can root however they want. Shaedon is 19 years old and plays shit defense, it's not a given that having him on the court instead of a fringe NBA player will help the Blazers win a game. Any scrub in the NBA can have a great game and put the Blazers in position to win. It's not certain sitting Shaedon will make the Blazers more likely to lose. Its also possible Shaedon long term development for the remaining games will have an improvement if he plays worth more than potential wins. I get the idea of rooting for tanking, but getting angry with fans who want to see the Blazers most exciting rookie in a decade is ridiculous.
