Official Utah/Minnesota/Philadelphia Pick Watch

“… I’m going to develop this bench, and I’m going to develop this team. I’ve got 15 guys to develop. I’m going to play them in those moments, and they’re going to learn to play winning basketball. I’ve never yanked guys. I’ve never done that. I’m not doing that. We’re going to develop that second group, and we’re going to have a bench here in Chicago. And I’m going to keep coaching them”
-The Great Jim Boylen

We are playing the Spurs next and it's definetly time develop our (end of the) bench guys.
 
Philly 3 game losing streak. Gives the pick a chance to fall below Memphis and Cleveland. 25th pick is probably the best odds the Jazz have for the Philly pick. Would have to lose 5 of their next 7 and Sacramento would have to win out to get 24th
 
Stupid ****ing Timberwolves won't lose now! The lottery gods better help the lottery ball for our own pick get chosen in the top-5!
 
It's critical at this point that the Twolves lose to Phoenix tonight. Their next game against the Lakers is critical as well.

Clippers and Warriors need to get to 44 wins to keep the Twolves in the play-in tourney. Then it's up to the Lakers, Pels and Mavs to try and beat them out.

Hopefully San Antonio can play the spoiler for both Utah and Minnesota, now that they’re basically locked into a top 3 pick and flat odds. I could see Pop trying to steal a few wins here at the end to build off of.
 
Once they get to the play-in or playoffs I'll be rooting for them, but for now I'm still rooting for them to lose all regular season games.
If they are in the play in I'd probably rather them just lose so we get the lottery pick, but if they are good enough to get the 6th seed that's cool

Good point, I forgot the play-in would affect or pick. Yeah...I'm not rooting for them util they actually make the playoffs.
 
If my day/week serves as any indicator… wolves beat the suns and end up like the 4 seed… we win at SA… then win just enough to back door into the play in… we go to the Lakers and lose by 1 point because the Lakers shoot 65 more free throws than us… with the 13th pick we select Kyle Filipowski… after Tay Henny and Wallace inexplicably drop…

And Filipowski goes on to become a superstar, but still finishes 2nd in RotY voting to the guy we draft with the Wolves pick.
