    I don't know how you can even possibly lose to this Laker team. They make our tanking teams are the past 2 years look like they belong at the top of the conference.

    I can't even necessarily blame the Blazers here. Not sure we even have players bad enough on the roster.

    Fucking Lakers.... hard tanking in the last game to fuck us.

    And of course Phoenix is going to lose.

    So do we know the difference of lottery odds if we win compared to if we lose yet?

    If we lose we are 9th alone

    If we win we are tied 9th with Phoenix with a coin flip to determine who picks first.

    It should be for the second half. Play it safe.

    Suns seem like they are trying to tank the game, even though they don't have their draft pick

    I haven't seen anything to indicate he has any skill or ability whatsoever yet, but Sidy Cissoko is one supersized guard. He has to be the biggest 6-6, 200 that's ever played for the Blazers.

    All I have seen from him is why he was traded and waived.

    Our only shot even then it seems, is having Reath run the point. I mean this Lakers team is terrible.

    Chris Paul. at 39, played all 82 games. I wonder if he is the first 39 year old player to play every game. Robert Parish played 79

    We don't, first of all the Suns are in a close game with the Kings who actually need the game. If we lose or the Suns win or both then we have the 9th lotto slot. If we win and the Suns lose we are tied for ninth and split the average for a chance at each pick 1-4.

    9th lotto slot by ourselves:
    4.5% for the 1st pick, 4.8% second pick, 5.2% third pick and 5.7% fourth pick.

    Tied for 9th lotto slot:
    3.75% first pick, 4.05% second pick, 4.4% third pick and 4.85% fourth pick.

    Their pick goes to Brooklyn with zero protections on it. They should have been trying to win this whole time because they don't get shit for losing.
