Also Cubez getting to keep the 10th pick is some BS.

Eat **** Cubez.

Okay Knicks have your pick 11-30 next year, you guppy bowl baby back Bitch.

LolPistons.

Let’s go Hornets!

Well ****, but this is a 7 player draft (well 1 then 6), so I'll take 7th

Also, LOL Pistons. feels bad POR is live to get Wemby after this **** they pulled

So ****ing sad. #1 pick = 2nd rd playoff appearance next year minimum. Drop to #5 = probably 10 more years til we're relevant. ****ing devastating.

POP HAS A REASON TO LIVE AGAIN

Wooo, Pacers get 32 as well due to some goofy convoluted math (would've been 50 if SA didn't jump HOU)

Pop lives the most charmed life I’ve ever seen

Jordan just broke something worth millions of dollars while cursing loudly, I imagine.

He was so rigged to the Spurs.

Pop is 74. I say he coaches another 10 years now.

So Spurs get Duncan again and Hornets miss AD again haha. Seems about right

So ****ing annoying. The Spurs have done enough winning for an entire lifetime. I’m so tilted getting so close.

Victor was super happy the Spurs got the #1 pick.

I wonder if the Spurs will make some win now moves.

Pairing Victor with Jeremy Sochan... Teams might not score 100ppg vs them during the regular season.

he must be a flopper like other spurs "greats" ginobili & robinson

Spurs basically tanked a whole season and got rewarded.. just like they did with Duncan.

I don’t blame him. That’s exponentially better than being a Hornet.

My guess is they could move Hawks future picks + someone to land a capable vet.

LFG!!!!!!!

74 is the new 54

Denver makes playing offense look absurdly easy. It's amazing to watch when they have it rolling.

8 pts, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, and two blocks in the first ten minutes for Jokic. So much for AD being his kryptonite.

They're gonna put him down like a Derby horse before he sees one minute of NBA playoff action like all of the other athletic flyweight 8-footers.

lakers are so boring. they either win by 15 or lose by 15.

Again, I'm not really sure what you're trying to do here - this doesn't mean a ton without examining the baseline (i.e. given the odds, how many times was his team expected to get to 3 wins in a series). Also, Doc was the betting underdog in a lot of series where he had the better team (08 and 10 for instance) - you can't attribute overperforming the betting line to the coach, because the coaching performance is baked into the betting line.

Also, even accepting your premise, 4-17 as the underdog in clinching games and 13-16 as the favorite is mindbogglingly bad. Also, you talk about injury luck but getting taken to 7 games by terrible teams early in the playoffs are going to have negative injury consequences over time.

I think he's one of the worst head coaches in the game at this point. Coaching has never been better in the NBA and older head coaches that insist on doing things their way are increasingly falling behind those that know how to work with the front office, analytics staff and other experts. Because the help is so much better, there's more parity in terms of head-coaching, but this also means not properly understanding and utilizing available resources can easily make your team light-years behind.

Is this string bean an impact guy from day one? Or is he gonna be like year 1-2 KD and just chuck it? Hopefully he’s good in time for the debut of the Austin Spurs
