But, yes, I am very pleasantly surprised that the team believes it can do this and not get in trouble with the league.

There are 6 games left. We want to lose. This is a nothing burger.

Isn’t the top 4 is virtually the same odds? The drop off really starts at #5.


Yes… but the problem isn’t the odds of landing top 4 spot IMHO… it is where you land if you DON’T get a top 4 spot.


5th is tolerable. 6th, less so. 8th would make people suicidal after this shite show of a season.

Wrong.

1-3 have a 14% at the first pick
4 has 12.5% at the first pick.

Pel's effectively lose 1.5% being outside the top 3.

Hate to be a downer, but the greatest odds are us landing at either the 6 spot at 25% or 7 spot at 16%.

Only a 2% chance at 8

Hopefully this means this moronic franchise finally got a fricking clue and will lose every game. I think we can win one more and still keep the 4th even if Philly tanks out (which they will), but we could've been sitting in a better odds % at 3 with a couple easy losses that they decided to win.

I'd be happy with any of the top 4.

After that not as much

or maybe the 48.1% chance to land in the top 4 would be the greatest odds of where we will land.

That means there is a 51.9% chance of landing out of the top 4. Vegas was built with less of an advantage.

Or you could say there's a 55.3% chance of landing in the top 5.

Need to start sitting Kelly, and we should be able to lose out and lock up the 4th spot

I know a lot of people don't like Sharpe (I like him). But there is a ton of wisdom in this segment about Zion..

LINK

"Work-life balance is not for someone that wants greatness"

This should be a sobering reminder for all those that think that this is normal or that this season would be viewed as a success for Zion, cause he looked good for a short duration. Another failure of a season that he could not finish. Now he has to carry that burden through another offseason where everyone questions his durability, drive, and desire. Great job team..

Are you just as angry at CJ or are you cherry picking? Neither CJ nor Zion are hurt. The organization made a decision in its best interest at getting a chance at a top flight prospect. If you truly believe Zion playing in these last 7 games would have a meaningful impact then maybe you should try to get in touch with David Griffin or Gayle Benson, they would probably be happy to hear your concerns.
