Pick Watch 2018

[Sun Devil Mania]

Wizards suck! Had a six point lead over Atlana with less than four minutes to go and lose by six.
Also ....... the Heat are getting clobbered by the Knicks. Hopefully, the Knicks can keep it going against the Bucks tomorrow!

******** the Wizards and the Heat. I need to prepare for the inevitable. We will pick 4th and 16th. Book it.

Correction: It could be 5th and 16th!

and the Kings beat Memphis by 1!

Gotta lose out.

 

[Sun Devil Mania]

OMG ....... Just did the Gamecast and saw the Grizzlies come back from down 11 with 6 minutes to go to take a one point lead with 6 seconds left on a Dillon Brooks 3-Pointer. The Kings came back with a Bogdan Bogdanovic (Former Suns Draft Pick) game winner with one second to go. Nothing is going our way! OMG!

 

[pokerface]

Two games left.....














TWO!!

I really hope Memphis wins again. If they do then all pressure is off. There is no way the Suns win their final 2 games. Atlanta won so they can't catch us. We're guaranteed either the most or the 2nd most ping pong balls now. That's better than last year. If we could be guaranteed a player of Jackson's potential then that would be great. I think Ayton, Bagley, and Doncic are the only players that should be as impactful as Jackson is. Guys like Young, Porter, and Bamba stand a chance to get that good but it's not as likely, or as much of a sure thing as the top 3 players.

Suns will beat Dallas and finish 2nd worst.

this is totally what I expect to happen.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Suns will beat Dallas and finish 2nd worst.

As long as they don't also beat Golden State, they would finish tied for first worst, which would basically split the difference in ping pong balls.

If we lose the coin flip and end up with one less ping pong ball than we could possibly slip to 5 in the draft instead of 4.

Good point.

Nay!

I hate coin flips.

We all know that's what's going to happen. Our scrubs are much better than Dallas' scrubs.

that's a game where Jackson suddenly has a bad hammy in warm-ups.

Just sit him out the next two with a sore jaw or bruised thigh. Both happened in the last game.

good with that too.

Send him to the dentist by all means... something like that.

 

[Superbone]

That's what it's going to take. Let's see if it happens.

 

[leclerc]

Yeah, tankathon has been trained well. 2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 2, 4... I've stopped dreaming of #1 now. Fourth is the lowest we can go, right? So Ayton, Bagley, Doncic are gone. Trae Young? Mohamed Bamba? A kid with back issues?

 

[Folster]

Milwaukee won. That puts them into the #17 slot where the pick won't convey.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

As of right now it would come down to a drawing between Miami and Milwaukee. So still a chance at getting both picks at 16 and 17.

 

[Hoop Head]

Grizzlies play the Pistons today in Memphis, it's their final home game of the season. This is a winnable game for them, hopefully they can pull it out. Being their final home game of the year might up their odds just a little bit. Detroit is playing for nothing so hopefully they're basically shutdown for the year.

Memphis still has 2 games left after today against the Wolves tomorrow and Thunder on Wednesday, both of those teams are fighting for a playoff spot so I don't like Memphis' chances against either of them. Although there is usually a team like them who spoils a teams season so who knows. Hopefully they win today and it's not an issue because 1 more Memphis win will virtually lock the Suns into the worst record and the most pingpong balls. The Suns would need to beat Golden State and Dallas to tie Memphis if the Grizzlies win again, which is unlikely, especially them beating the Warriors today. It'd be nice if there were no draft implications tied to the Dallas game.

Does anyone know how/when Milwaukee vs. Miami vs. Washington will be decided if they all tie in the standings?

They go with regular head to head tie-breakers because they'll need to determine who gets what playoff seed. If Milwaukee lands in the 7th or 8th seed we should get their pick.
