Huge day for future of 76ers. Need to keep their pick form Pels at #10 and then get

#1 - I'd be ecstatic.
#2 - excited
#3 - not too upset
#4 - now I'm upset, but not downright pissed
#5 - Pissed

I'm rooting for you to get #5. Nothing personal, but I'm still pissed the Celtics didn't get Tim Duncan and I want everyone to share that pain at some point.

Scott Brooks completely mismanaged the latter part of the 3rd quarter and the entire 4th qtr last night.

OKC is already fighting an uphill battle having to play w/o Ibaka but Brooks' compounds the problem with his poor line ups.

It was apparent to everyone in America in the 1st quarter that the Thunder's small ball line up is not the answer against the Spurs yet Brooks continued to play small ball for long stretches. And each time he did the Spurs got a ton of easy baskets.

For reasons only known to Brooks neither Collison or Adams played in the 4th and the Spurs preceded to carve up OKC in the decisive period. Neither of them were in foul trouble

Hopefully Brooks has realized that if the Thunder are to advance he needs to increase Collison and Adams' minutes and play at least two big men as much as possible. Because that small line up got completely destroyed by the Spurs.

I'm rooting against the tanking ass Sixers as well. I hate seeing teams being rewarded for not trying.

I'm hoping they get a 7 or lower.

Bullshit...they got rid of players that had no future with the team for future assets. It's what smart teams do. I don’t hear anyone bitching about the Bucks having a terrible season. Were they trying?

They get 5 and then take Exum. Although with all the extra 2nds and the Pelicans 1st, we can do pretty much anything we want.

The Bucks just flat out sucked. The Sixers were dumping players left and right.

Like I said, I'll be rooting against the Sixers tonight.

I'm rooting for the Bucks to get a player out of this draft. They may be the only team that I can't remember having more than a 7 seed ever in my lifetime.

Well, they pretty much were tanking it that year for Duncan. That was Pitino's plan. The Spurs got lucky, too. Robinson hurt his back and then broke his foot. I can't remember if he could've came back at the end of the season. Plus, Sean Elliott missed a ton of games. The lottery is for bad teams to get better, not great teams with injured guys getting better. Don't forget we came in second in that Duncan lottery and took Keith Van Horn and then traded him. We've had our share of lottery pain.

Worst they can do is #5. They're being rewarded for being smart. Only way to win is break it down and build it up from the bottom. You know that. Getting an 8 seed or drafting at the bottom of the lottery every year is NBA purgatory. You have to do it and the Sixers are executing the plan perfectly. Just can't have bad luck tonight and have to draft the right guys. Go Spurs.

The Sixers flat out sucked, too. And trading Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes didn't change how much they sucked. The media was all over the Sixers for tanking and they lost 26 games in a row and still the Bucks finished 4 games worse than them. Think about that. The Bucks had a ton of guys missing games with injuries all year. Who knows how bad they were hurt?

At worst they'll pick #3. Then it's up to them.

There is a difference between dumping and being smart. They freed up money and added picks that can be flipped or used on a Euro that we can stash. It was smart business.

Carp, who are your top 5 in order? Wiggins, Embiid, Parker, Exum, Vonleh? Would you take Vonleh over Parker?

 

[Deuce]

Cleveland jumping in is bullshit. The league keeps giving them lottery gifts after Lebron walked.

That chick that was representing the Bucks was nice on the eyes.

Ya she was, and she was asking for the balls to fall in her favor. That tells me she likes to party.

 

[Simpleton]

The Kings girl was nice too but got overshadowed because of the Bucks girl.

 

[1bigfan13]

Hopefully Parker and Wiggins go 1, 2, and the Sixers go with Embiid who turns out to be another Greg Oden/Sam Bowie.
