Official Utah/Minnesota/Philadelphia Pick Watch

[HermanG]

clips just weren’t up for the fight. Effort wasn’t there all game. They actually look like they don’t care, really boring team to watch. Zubac is turning into a special type of terrible as well. Always brings the ball down, zero offensive rebounding, not good. So glad we have Kessler

Yeah it was funny when they put in Plumlee he immediately looked so much more dominant on the boards. Too bad they made him dribble the ball and he earned his way back to the bench really fast. I cannot decide which one was more funny, the "spin move" turnover or the "behind the back" turnover he had when driving with the ball.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Russ has been terrible. He was a cancer for the Lakers and he’ll be a cancer for the Clippers. Too bad it didn’t hurt the Wolves this time, but there’s still hope their schedule dooms them. Still hoping for a top 10 pick somewhere.

It is kind of shocking how bad Russell has become. From his MVP days of actually being a true threat on the court, to becoming straight up a clown on the court, the fall is staggering. I mean, he was never Harden (or Steph, or KD, or whoever)-level good, but his teams competed and he was, for a while there, among the very best in the league, first guy to average a triple double since what, the 60's? Now, barely even a punch-line. Crazy.

We’ve been saying for like 3 months “the Wolves are going to fall on their face with this upcoming schedule” and they simply haven’t any of those times.

At this point I think they end up in the play in and it’ll all be down to matchups at that point.

Considering 99% of the board pegged them as a top-3 seed and the pick to be in the late 20’s I think we’re in a good spot right now.

Put em in the 9 or 10 spot and I'm happy... facing two elimination games is really tough.

Yep. I have lost all hope that they end up falling apart.

Not me. I still believe. Top 10 pick and a shot at a top 4 jump.

Hard to predict. I watch all their game since Mike move there and they are sometimes terrible , sometimes quite okay. All can happen. They have tough schedule but may have their best player KAT back. As i say hard to predict.

They'll make the play in, the Thunder / Blazers both suck.

I'm afraid Thunder may have pulled the plug. Fanduel has these odds for teams making or not making the playoffs (the lowest in West who have odds):

Sacramento yes -1000, no +610
Clippers yes -850, no +540
Dallas yes -800, no +520
GSW yes -420, no +310
Pelicans, yes +116, no -142
Minny yes +164, no -205
Lakers yes +225, no -290
Jazz yes +410, no -590
Blazers yes +410, no -590
OKC yes +1120, no -3000

That is the projected list for seeds 4 to 13 based on public trust on those teams making the playoffs. Suns, Grizzlies and Nuggets dont have any odds set which means they are considered locks by Fanduel at least.

So public has completely lost faith in OKC trying. Us and Blazers are the ones projected 11th-12th with equal odds. Projected play-in teams are GSW, Pels, Minny and Lakers... with GSW having far greater odds of making it to actual playoffs of the 4. Other 3 are pretty much tied.

Yep, I think the thunder are toast. Watch them go from fighting for the play in to getting Wemby.
