NBA Season Thread 2017-18 - Page 456 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I guess JTM and Fey are thinking that winning the lottery can only move you up to top3. so the only way to get to the #4 pick is having the 4th (or worse) regular season record. And as of now the 19-43 teams (4-6 bottom) are 10.5 games behind the Pistons with 20 games to go. So Pistons actually being 4th worst is pretty unlikely. (But a little more unlikely now than when they made the trade.)

Melo looks bad, bigger liability on D than normal. Not active at all.

Got to this team 3 years too late.

Watching number 1 pick Andrew Wiggins playing basket-ball is so painful

Knicks seem pretty locked into the 9th draft slot.

UNLESS Silver has them bink.

Plz Adam Silver, I know you are reading this.

Let New York Bink. Anywhere in the top 3 would be alright with me.

Edit: after perusing the standings just now I see that it's possible for the Bulls to usurp the Knicks. 8th draft slot is a possibility. Too bad it's a 7 man draft.

Last year it was a 10 player draft and the best one got picked 13th

Pistons haven't beat a team that's not on a back2back since the Blake trade.

Right but the accident was letting the wraparound go wide and into TT's legs. He wanted to keep it high and tight due to the small window but as soon as it leaves his hand he looks down like, "Oh snap that one got away from me, let me make sure I recover." Even with wraparounds dudes don't need to look down unless the dribble leaves their hand funny.

It's weird because I'm a recent Born Again Lebron Fanboy and came ITT to post the full highlights from that game. It wasn't until seeing the slomo replay that I got a little disappointed. It's like shooting an airball and having it bounce off a dude's head to score.
