    So how does this new lottery system work? Lowest 3 teams have the same chance at the number one pick? Suns are shutting down Oubre, really making sure they stay down there.

    Lets just be glad we got a poster back who wants to talk basketball. Thats what were here for (most of us...), and we may disagree, we might disagree with the delivery, thats what makes it fun, lets just keep it to basketball as much as possible. Ive thought he was way off base at times, but he’s probably thought my opinions were way off base too. Im glad he’s posting again.

    Dallas and Memphis are the teams that need to tank. Both will lose lottery picks if they keep winning. Doncic was irate yesterday when Carlisle took him out after he scored 5 pts in a row to bring them back to 16 down with like 7 minutes left. Obvious tank last night

    Thanks but I think loquacious, vain drivel is terrible, ESPECIALLY when it originates through intentional misinterpretations. Obviously, that's just me though.

    Not necessarily, Dallas probably wants to keep their pick but this is a weird draft other than Zion and they now owe two future 1sts to NY so getting the pick they owe Atlanta out of the way in this draft might not be the worst thing. Memphis actually wants to lose their pick this year. They are obviously in rebuild mode so they can't fully start that if they still owe a pick to Boston. It goes down to only top-6 protected next year and unprotected in 2021. They are actually trying not to tank.

    If the Cavs end up with the #1 pick again after LeBron left, then I will call foul and Bennet must have something on the rest of the league. No way a team should ever get that many #1 picks in a short time.

    Wow all 4 playoff teams behind us in the west all have identical records at 42-30.
    a 3 game cushion in the loss column.

    I believe the Lakers are 1 loss from being eliminated from the playoffs. Or, and this is where it's weird, one win by the Jazz, Spurs, Clippers or Thunder.

    I notice Batum played off the bench last night. How long has that been going on?

    Oh, I see he had an eye abrasion; but I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed on the second unit.

    Thomas Robinson down in the G league, hoping to get back to the NBA. https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-celtics/2019/03/21/thomas-robinson-celtics-roster-spot
    Robinson said he used his time away from the NBA to focus on “things [he] felt like [he] was struggling with,” and he believes he is returning as a better passer with a basketball IQ. The 28-year-old is also continuing to refine his defensive game, which he attributes to increased more effort.
