14th Tank Platoon

Loss to Lakers was worth at least 4% chance at getting a top 3 pick (29.5% chance if 4/5/6 combinations are split 3 ways and a 33.5% chance if just 4/5 are split). A loss to Minny increases Utah's chance of moving up at least one spot to 37.8%.

Of course didn't we have the 4th spot in 2005 before the lottery dropped Utah to #6?

But Lindsey had to hoodwink Portland to move up. I doubt anyone is going to be willing to trade down in this draft.

Lindsay was in Texas when we got D-Will. That was some pretty awesome hoodwinking for a team he didnt work for.

Good news, Indiana may rest their players since they have the conference wrapped up as the #1 seed.

Bad news, my prediction was wrong and the best we can do is tie them. I was close though.

Oh my, I didn't even realize Indiana had clinched. Tiebreaker was better conference record?
Stands to reason Indiana would rest their starters. They did against Milwaukee. Vogel probably gives them another rest; that's a nice break for their starters: from Sunday until the playoffs begin.
 
Seems like no one is mentioning a pretty interesting scenario. Indiana could sit their starters against Orlando. Ya know, with them clinching and all.

One more loss to go, I'd fire the entire staff and have them go into game 82 coach-less.
 
And in other news, Andrew Bogut appears to be out indefinitely with a broken rib.

Warriors could conceivably drop to 7th and 22nd overall.

Funny thing about the lottery is, being in the 4th spot only means the Jazz would have the fourth best chance to land the first overall pick. The team in the "fourth spot" actually is most likely to end up with the 5th pick. See the table here for all the odds:

That's true! However, If we would have lost we would be in a tie for 4th-6th position with the Lakers and Celtics and would be counting on a coin flip for positioning. If we lost the coin flip and ended in 6th position then we could actually drop all the way down to 8th with our pick.
 
So let me get this straight... That bunch of huligan lakers fans that were cheering thier boys are idiots?!?!?










Go Orlando!!
