Draft position thread

Clips and Wiz won today! Adding another space between us and the rest of the pretenders! Maybe we can win some (especially on Vlade's retirement) to make the race a bit closer! :D:D:D
 
I had some hopes for today, but I never dared hope that the Wiz would wose AND the Clippers would score 140. Today, we totally lucked out.

1. Sac 15-55 .214
2. Mem 17-53 .243
3. Was 17-56 .233
4. LAC 18-54 .250

I like the buffer, but we need to keep linning.

We either cut the buffer in half on Friday by being idiots, or we really put the pressure on the others by finding a way to lose. Arenas says he's coming back this weekend too, so if we can pull off the loss, there is even the chace the Wizards might win a couple and help us out the last couple of weeks.

Critical game coming up. This is the day we finally see if the FO knows what its doin'
Apparently the front office knows exactly what they're doing. They've hired impersonators to pretend to be NBA basketball players, but didn't do any kind of screening for talent, or skill, or anything silly like that.

Whoooooooo! We suck!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow I just noticed you have nearly 60,000 posts. :eek:
 
Actually, I had over 22,000 before the board crashed in 04. So, if you want to be technical about it, I passed 60K a long time ago.

:p
Wow. I think I had maybe a 1000 when the crash happened. Any way to check that? Also I don't even recall my join year here.. I know I was at the bleacher mob forums in 01-02 ish.

And back on track. Kings Lin! Kings Lin! Update? :D

I barely saw this game. I saw it in passing and was sure the Kings were down 20+... No? They won?? Of course they did because when I finally came through, there was Mr. Hawes sitting on press row with Jerry and Grant.

I don't think the Kings were ever down at all, let alone by 20+ ... If anything, they may have switched leads a couple of times but the Suns never had control of the situation at all.
 
It really feels like Monday morning. Potentially 2 wosses out of 4th place and 7th pick.

1. Sac 16-56 .222
2. Was 17-58 .227
3. LAC 18-56 .243
4. Mem 18-54 .250
 
SOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY! It was a perfect game from a longterm standpoint; valuable experience, good passing, team play, competitive, just a mental lapse at the end.

Ill take it. Pick 1 here we coooooooooome!

I'm watching the Houston situation more closely than our own pick right now, and this game impacted both. One or two wins/losses each way for Houston and the rest of the West playoff teams can be the difference between picking 26th and picking 21st. The higher that second pick gets, the more opportunity we have to trade picks and/or players around and maybe get something even higher.

Worry about the big pick first.

But tommorow night will be a great night to worry about both simultaneously -- Hornets at Clippers, Hornets have half the team misssinhg and supergimp Davcid West may not be able to go. Nice clean double win for us if the Clips can pull it off. If the Clips even care enough to show up of course.
