Suns still in the race but good progress


Lakers now have a 51.3% chance of losing TWO 1st Rd picks  . pure stupidity... a display of utter incompetence by winning two meaningless games.

Why 2? I know about the protected pick. What else?

If the pick conveys to Philly this year, then their 2019 pock will go to Orlando (from the Dwight Howard trade). If the pick doesn't convey to Philly, then the pick to Orlando becomes two 2nds

I really don't want the Sixers to get two top 8 picks but it would be too sweet to see that happen to the Lakers.

truly the definition of a no-win situation for C's fans.  either the Lakers get another top pick this year or the Philly dumpster fire gets 2 top picks this year.

If Embiid ever stays healthy I see a early-mid 80's Sixers team (though that team was LOADED with HOF's and All-Stars) in a couple of years, especially if they get the LAL pick this year. Wouldn't mind rehashing that old rivalry, as long as we get a Larry Bird-like talent in the next draft or two

We are really lucky the 76ers traded Noel for 2 second round picks and that Okafor looks like a bench player. If they had made better selections or gotten more value for those guys we would be looking at a lot scarier situation.

Just further proof that players don't tank. They play to win and sometimes no matter what the GM and head coach try to do to lose, the players are going to win because that's what they get paid to do.

He won't.

That last game against the Spurs Walton didn't even have his starters in at the end. I'm pretty sure the entire bench group finished the game, which was an obvious tanking attempt that still didn't work due to them being up too much to begin with. It's hilarious, because that worthless win could ultimately be franchise altering for them.

I'm imagining for myself a scenario where Popovich and the Spurs actually tanked that game just to Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. the Lakers. l

The Sixers won't keep both picks either. If they got the 4th and 6th picks, I could see them doing something like trading both of them for Butler or taking a guard with one and trading the other for a vet wing or guard, perhaps like Bledsoe.

[SHAQATTACK]

wooo

hope we take care of business when we play them.

I can't bare to watch ...   to much stress 

[CelticSooner]

Look at that Suns score. Tonight may be the clincher.

Yeah, they've got a 23 point lead at halftime.

Westbrook a fresh 2-13 shooting tonight.
