Lottery watch 2019 - quest for Zion

[Shanemansj13]

Lebron sitting tonight with a sore groin, Lakers to continue their fall (best case, 6th slot pre-lottery).

Lets look at schedules for all those 5 teams including the Lakers

Grizz - 5 very winnable games. Projection 4-8


Mavs - tough schedule. 4 very winnable games. 2 vs Grizz. Projection 4-8.


Pelicans - 4 winnable games. Projection 4-5.


Wiz - 4 very winnable games. Projection 4-7.


Lakers - Tough schedule especially if Lebron rests most.
2 very winnable games. Projection 2-10.



Gaining around 3 games is going to be tough unless they go on a long winning streak imo but they have a very tough schedule down the stretch.

Those last 5 for LA all tough, but might depend if those teams care about winning....West so bunched up they might.

At this time, he is usually getting rested but to get ready for the playoffs. You can't make this shit up LOL

Maybe they didn't want to show the Bucks anything in case they meet in the Finals?

For the first time I can recall, the 14 lottery teams are the worst 14 records. West playoff teams are set, with the Kings 7 games out of 8th, but the seeding is tight. East still has a lot of movement possible.

Zion just said he doesn't want to play for a big market...

Not exactly his decision to make.

Who needs Zion when you've got Jimmer

Fucking Jimmer played for like 5 minutes and got an offensive foul on his only basket. Lol.

Coach needs to let him chuck it tonight.

 

[Sparhawk]

You should post the standings and the lottery odds for each position at landing #1 or in the top 4.

For instance, right now, LAL have a 1 in 33 shot at landing #1.
If they were to somehow pass Dallas and wind up with 6th worst record, they would have a 1 in 11 shot at landing #1.

The percentages are really flattened out.
Go over to Tankathon and when you simulate, you're going to get wacky results each time.

Took me quite awhile to have SAC land #1......

Didn't Booker take all the shots?

I posted them once, but it wasn't a clean copy/paste, so I didn't repeat it. The standings are manually entered as it is.

12th try got the Lakers to #3, 25th to #1 (and again at #34, not bad for a 3% chance at #1).

This is going to be like an other NBA draft we have seen imo. We could see some crazy stuff happening.

This is going to be like an other NBA draft we have seen imo. We could see some crazy stuff happening. Imagine if the Hawks got the first 2 picks or 2 in top 3 with that Mavs pick as well. Zion and Morant or Zion and RJ...this could be crazy.

Mavs pick is top 5 protected, so the Hawks can't get 2 in the top 5.
