When I'm at the games, I'm still a fan. So, even though I know it's best for them to lose, I still act like a fan who wants them to win. I also have my 7 year old with me who just wants to see them win too, so that makes a difference.

I actually just decided to renew yesterday. I was pissed after the AD stuff, but after some time has passed, I feel the same way I have the past 5 years that I've had tickets...the team is important to this city, and I enjoy the entertainment they can provide; so I want to continue to support them.

I am worried about the Lakers passing the pels up

Besides the Knicks which they should win their schedule is absolutely brutal

I think the Lakers get to 34 or 35 wins. They get some east coast teams at home. Plus, hopefully they beat us in a few weeks.

I like our chances at #7 and could even see #6 if we only win one more game the rest of the way. The guy standing in the way of a full out tank is Randle. He can put up 40 on a given night, but if he were rested, who would score? I hope he gets shut down

If I had to guess how everyone finishes:

Kings 39
Magic 37
Heat 36
Wolves 36
Hornets 35
Lakers 34
Wizards 34
Grizz 32
Mavs 32

Lose out or just win 1 and we get the 6 spot. Win 2 or 3 and you are looking at 7 or 8. I can't see us winning 4 or 5 more. So, 6, 7, or 8 spot seems most likely. Ideally, we get 6, Grizz get 7 and Dallas gets 8. Grizz keep their pick (so Celtics can trade us a future one), Mavs send theirs to Atlanta. For that to happen, we gotta lose to Dallas Monday and then have Grizz and Mavs split that home and home (or have Dallas win both)

Sucks to root for losing, but I genuinely felt joy with that ending last night

Regardless of percentages, weird shite can happen with ping pong balls.

Nothing is guaranteed in terms of where we land, even within a narrow range of spots

It is always better to have more ping pong balls/better odds, not to mention if we get to 6 then we are guaranteed a top 10 pick.

Loss tonight or Utah win eliminates us from the playoffs.
Looking forward to not seeing Davis play again as a Pel.

Pels have the best odds out of any team for Zion

Knicks 14%
Pels 6%
Lakers 3%

Both the Lakers and Knicks would trade that pick for AD. I can't wait for the damn lottery.

I think if they were really selective in their picks for the dance team or cheerleaders or whatever the hell they are called, then yeah, i could come to like the Nola Bounce.

The AAC is a really nice arena with alot of things to do around it. The people in the lower level tend to be the cocaine & silicone crowd as Mike Ryner would say. I really should have gone tonight & sported Pels gear with you.
