Natesroom 197 Report post Posted May 3, 2021 right i meant we are all hoping for them to be 9 right. That has the least amount of odds that i had described in one of my posts but still giving us an actual decent pick. I'd love for it to be 7 and not jump in the top 4 but the percentages are to much risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Better DJ & Photographer 456 Report post Posted May 3, 2021 We MUST lose to Detroit tonight and put us back in a 3 way tie for 2nd. Somehow this team has got to learn to stop winning meaningless games and screwing ourselves in the lottery at the end of the season! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hootie249 293 Report post Posted May 3, 2021 We are identical in win loss record last 10 games 3-7. Someone posted the the injury reports for both teams, tons of guys out. It's probably a coin flip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TreyMachine 395 Report post Posted May 4, 2021 This is unbelievably frustrating. I get that players want to win... but we need to be in that bottom 4 for it to be near even odds. At 5th/6th best, we really lose out. We need to stop this. I want our guys to develop and play well.... but c'mon man... time and place! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to hear suggestions of what else we could have done to try and not win that game? Let's not forget there's still a lottery. Charlotte had something like the 8th worst odds last season and ended up getting Lamelo Ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even before trades we had to shut down veterans. We have beaten Nets, Suns at home just days before trades... Second, it is better to have higher chances at the top 3 pick, which means we must have bottom 3 worst record... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right but I didn't ask how we could have tanked better over the course of the season. Because obviously the answer is "not start the season trying to make the playoffs". I am aware how probability works. But we can get a bottom 3 record and still pick 6th or 7th. So let's not worry too much about it. It might work out that winning this Pistons game puts us in the position that ends up with the #1 pick. The only odds that guarantees top 5 is the worst odds and we never had a shot at that anyway.
