Timberwolves are up by 4 points on Golden State with 7 minutes left in the 4th (in Minny).

This would be an enormous win for our BRK pick. Unlikely but exciting :D

I've kind of already written off the Timberwolves as a threat to the Brooklyn pick. I can't imagine them making up 3+ games with only 12 games left in the standings, let alone however many Minny still wins the rest of the season.

That's understandable. I just think with teams resting players here and there for the playoffs, that a 3 win lead could evaporate pretty quickly with some good luck from the Nets and bad luck for the Wolves.
Would be nice for the Wolves to put the nail in the proverbial coffin tonight.

Phx is the team to be concerned about  -- not Minny.

The odds between the 3rd and 4th pick are essentially equal so the C's are sitting in a good spot regardless barring the Nets winning some games they shouldn't.

No, they should be concerned about both.

Yes, but if neither the third or fourth position wins a lottery pick, the third position picks first.  And that's always better.

Who is 'they' exactly? :P

I'm freakin chuffed at where we are. Not concerned at all. Best case scenario of 3rd in the lotto and worst case of 5th. Currently sitting in 3rd. Thats a spicy meatball.

Hope that lance shot isn't a game winner
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Brandon Knight and Booker are the two most talented guys offensively on that team and they shot a combined 9 of 30. 

Thats....yeah.

Yep unfortunately the old Suns got Grizz'd and the Wolves got GSW'd.
Too bad, at least one if these would have been nice.

Am I a bad fan if I would hypothetically swap Celtics wins for Suns  wins?

Right now the Suns are predicted to finish with one more win than the Nets.
Gonna be an intense last few games.
We really need Phx to upset Minny at home.

I can't believe the Celtics have a shot at Ben Simmons. I'm drooling.

RHJ probable for tomorrow night :-\

hope toronto is playing for the #1 seed 4/13 so they aren't resting on the last night...(although if chicago is in 8th i think they would prefer the 2cd seed)

also SAS could rest on last day against mavs >:(
