Cleveland. This is your chance to get back in the safe zone.

The Bulls are lurking with 14 wins.

So no matter who 'wins' this game they are helping themselves get (stay) in the safe zone, not just Cleveland.

The bottom 3 teams have the same exact odds so how does it matter?
def matters how far you can fall etc...

esp. there is no guarantee the Cavs are top 3 right now.

Any win pushes them up nearer the bulls regardless of where the Suns are

and finising with the worst record is preferable to the 3rd worst record since your chances of falling increase the better you are- even in the top 3.

14% is not great odds---- but as long as the Cavs get a top 4 pick, I will feel pretty good about it- and if you have the #3 slot, there is a better chance you pick outside the top 4 then if you are in the #1 slot etc...

Phoenix is in a safer spot right now. Plus with their 15 game streak they can nudge a little closer by not tryin for Zion on Thursday.

Clippers are looking good to actually finish this off.

Boston needs some Bol Bol.

Doesn't make any sense for the franchise moving forward (basically giving away their draft pick), but maybe it helps them attract free agents this summer.

Teams making the playoffs for the first time (as a core group) rarely go deep. They think they can make the playoffs and land Kawhi.

It's a hell of a gamble.

Especially when they could've gotten a 1st for Lou Williams at the TD too.

So this run could cost them 2 first roundres.

Suns have won 2 of their last 3, and they play the Bucks tonight who we already beat on their court. We’re too good now!

They're definitely not going deep. They'll be out in the first round. However, free agents are more apt to go to a playoff team, thinking they can push that team deeper, instead of joining a lottery team that they hope can even get to the playoffs. Losing the pick is bad, but that means they get to keep next season's. No reason to move Lou, even in a rebuild. He's too valuable an offensive piece IMO (wish the Lakers could've kept him).

To me he's just another first rounder they could use to get Brow.


Or dump Gallo
