Or as I like to look at it Top 3 Pick - 37.8% #4 - 9.9% #5 - 35.1% No Lottery Pick - 17.2% I like our odds for a top 3 pick! (Optimism)
Yep. I mean I know we've got a shot at losing the pick, but we're twice as likely to get a Top 3 pick and we're MOST likely to get the #5 pick. Those odds are good. They're not perfect, but c'mon we weren't going to out-tank professional losers like Minny, Philly, and NY. Those teams have losing down to a science we just can't compete with.
Not gonna lie, of the remaining games I wanted to win this one the most, but at least the loss gets us closer to locking up the 4th spot. They competed though. Can't ask for more than that.
^I was bracing for another wipe-out but they made The Tenants earn it instead of laying down like dogs... Like Bill Parcells once said: "Gentlemen, I don't mind losing but let's not stink up the joint!"
Absolutely. Moral victory or not, I liked watching them fight. Good game, solid effort, we're just not as talented as they are. I had no problem at all with that loss.
Yep...the Lakers are new to this "tanking" concept. We're not going to be one-season wonders like San Antonio where they ended up plucking Duncan after a horrific season.
Well we still might. But we aren't keeping up with the Hendersons on this front man. Just like they wont keep up with us as we steadily improve and get back to Championship contention.
@ Denver tonight, Minny on Friday, Dallas on Sunday, @ Kings on Monday... Final game at home against the Kings on Wed. Almost done... For those still keeping track, we're firmly at #4 in the tankathon just like I figured we'd end up. We're 2.5 games behind Philly and 4 games in front of Orlando. We aren't going anywhere.
I just want the 4th spot locked by the last game with the Queens so I can root 100% for a win to finish this nightmare season.
