Actually the Grizzlies suck. Aren't all their wins vs bad teams and they've barely won any against over 500 teams?
Minny & Cavs 2025 picks watch thread
- Thread starter latin jazz
- Start date
Unfortunately I think the dream of Minny getting in to the lottery is pretty much dead. Even if they get in to the play in, it's hard for me to see them losing to that Memphis team. It's kind of crazy because for most of the year Memphis seemed like a nice story, but now they look like they need to blow the team up.
Minny's a very solid team that has had just enough growing pains and FAFO moments this season for us to maintain the illusion that we might have a real shot of getting them into the lottery. But they win almost all their important games.
Even if they were to lose to Memphis in a play-in game, there's no realistic hope they'd lose the second game.
We're kinda fortunate their pick will be closer to 20 than 25.

I mean, anything is realistic in a one game series.
The way things are shaking out right now, Minnesota is likely to end up the 6th seed. If the Jazz were somehow able to beat them to end the season, that would likely push Minnesota down to the 8 seed.

Our two Portland wins are ruining the tank.
I'm pretty sure if the Jazz beat Minnesota the Wolves will be in the play in (either 7th or 8th depending on MEM) and if the Jazz lose then Minnesota will not be in the play in (either 4,5, or 6 depending on the other teams).

Best case scenario would be for the Jazz to win, pushing Minnesota into the playoffs in and having something ******* crazy happen that knocks them out of the playoffs. But this scenario is only worth seeing play of if they stay in the top 2 picks.
I will say, it would be very satisfying on a personal level to see the Jazz just come out in the last game and be like “Eff it.” Take the handcuffs and training wheels off and just blast Minnesota, screwing up all their plans and seeding some doubt into them going into the playoffs.

Warriors / Clippers just went into overtime. Does it matter who wins based on how everything else has shaken out already?
Yes, if GSW win then the MIN pick is in a 3 way tie for 20-22. If LAC wins then the MIN pick is 21.
It matters, but from those options, it's hard to tell what to root for.
If you are an optimist you want GSW to win. If you are a pessimist then you want LAC to win.
#1 and #21
Yep. Jazz will have the 21st pick.
I still don't have a lot of separation between like 9 and 25 in this draft, so I do believe we'll have a chance at a good player at 21.
Right now Fleming, Sorber, Bryant are being mocked in that range, so we will have a chance at a difference making defender.
I think the Jazz are likely going to try to move up from #21. I could see the Jazz chasing after Carter Bryant.

Where is Demin being mocked? Right around 20 or so?
