We lose, Detroit loses (Brooklyn doesn't matter) we get the 7th seed So do we want Detroit to win to open up the second path to the 6th seed or do we want Detroit to lose to close off any path to the 8th seed? i want to finish 6th.. or 8th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not trying to bust on him (nobody is perfect), but I hope Augustine steps his game up. When he is on, he is fun to watch and can really make things happen.

Odin 137 Report post Posted April 8, 2019 58 minutes ago, Jay Magic said: i want to finish 6th.. or 8th I am deeply confused by your desire to see our team destroyed by Giannis. Toronto games: 1. Lose at the last second to a healthy- if still gelling- Raptors 2. Win by blowout a healthy Raptors 3. Win by 15 over a Kawhi-less Raptors 4. Lose to Raptors Philly: 1. Lose by one in a very close game- late Redick 3 pointer, then Gordon fouled and almost ties the game up. 2. Beat Philly by 5 with their shiny new toy Butler. 3. Lose by 8 to an Embiid-less 76er team. 4. Win by 21 to a Ben Simmons-less team. This shows that with Philly and Toronto, we are at least able to keep it close when we play their full team, and we have the chance for a victory. We get destroyed by Milwaukee when they have Giannis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This shows that with Philly and Toronto, we are at least able to keep it close when we play their full team, and we have the chance for a victory. We get destroyed by Milwaukee when they have Giannis. He is not alone. I also think we can beat the Bucks. They are a good team but inexperienced and injured. We are 1-2 against them. 1- october: lose by a lot. Early season game. We were bad. No defense. Bledsoe and Brogdon had a field. Giannis 21 points 2- january: lose by 10. No AG. Simmons our starting SF. Giannis 25 points. 3- February: win by 20 to a no Giannis team. Simmons nor Grant were part of the rotation. I get it. Philadelphia might be an easier opponent as their bench is pretty depleted. But We should not be afraid of Milwaukee. Same goes with Toronto. I dont care what position we end up but we should be able to get 1-2 games to any of the teams mentioned above. If we end up at 8, we will have a better draft pick position as well.. lol.
