--> Winning percentage would have had them at #15 so only one team in the West with a better record will get a better pick than them -- of course that's OKC so it's another case of the rich getting richer. In the end, C's were in a very tight cluster of teams where 2 wins or losses could have swung their position in the playoffs and the draft.
Clips Pick #27/#28 - to be determined by coin flip with Houston

--> just so aggravated neither Cleveland nor SA could catch and pass them. even more frustrated that Memphis, Dallas, Portland and the Rockets couldn't hold on to their advantage over them. the fact the Clips put on a real push late in the season irritated me too. need to break out my thesaurus for new ways to to express my displeasure at how this pick turned out.
Thanks to those who kept up with reading the thread. I may do this again next year when the C's are looking at getting their pick, the Nets pick and the Dallas pick. maybe I'll track the second rounder too just to drive myself crazy
Never too early to start! Okay, maybe you deserve some time off. You can start Monday.
Don't forget, if Minnesota finishes >12, we get their pick, also. Okay, I'm not saying it's gonna happen, but cut out the injuries and add a decent draft pick to Wiggins and they could sneak into the playoffs.
Ideal scenario for next year:
Us/Brooklyn: #1
Us/Brooklyn: #2
Dallas: #8
Minnesota: #13
