What's new

14th Tank Platoon

0.8% according to Hollinger's playoff odds...so yeah. Damn it

All is not lost, Curry only played 22 minutes last night, has " soreness" in his right leg but would not elaborate. Bogut banged up his right knee the other night. And Iggy dislocated a finger.

There is still hope. But I agree the window is closing. They need a major injury soon.
 
I'm encouraged by losing streak Atlanta has. Brings the #8 playoff spot back into play for Cleveland, Detroit and New York. Making the playoffs IS desirable in the EC since the team that misses only drops 1 spot in the draft order. Sure, they have an infinitesimal chance of moving into the top-3 if they miss the playoffs, but making the playoffs brings in revenue and tells a nice story to fans and FA's.

Or they could just keep losing and get the a better lottery seeding and avoid the chance to lose to Indy/Miami

Great work mellow. I didn't know about any of that.

Hope restored.

Cleveland made acquisitions to push for the playoffs. New York is trying to convince Carmelo to stay (I think). Detroit is another story. They have an interim coach and Dumars is likely out at the end of the season. But that may be good. No one is going to be pushing for the tank. If Detroit could make the playoffs, it boosts the resume of their interim coach.

This is actually wrong, as the draftslots 11 through 14 are taken by Western teams, and 15 through 20 by Eastern teams. So if you barely make it as an Eastern team you're #15. If you barely miss it then you're #10.
