Roster flexibility/cap space.

He's got some offensive talent and I wouldn't have been opposed bringing him back, but not under the rumored circumstances...

Gotta love the game Tristan is having against the big Memphis frontline... 11 points, 9 boards, and 4 blocks... 5/6 from the line.

lol. Competitive tank.

A lot of missed FT's at the end, especially two in a row by Kyrie...

Awesome job tanking, competing against a good team but finding a way to lose.

I saw we're now tied for 4th with Sacramento in terms of ping pong balls

Yep. If Byron plays his starters the majority of the 4th we probably win that game.

I'm really worried about the Wizards game, I don't see how we could possibly lose that one

I just want either Davis or Beal. Davis is only obtainable with the #1 pick, but Beal could slip to the 4th or 5th I think.

Assuming the Cavs finish in a 3 way tie with NO and Sacramento, what would the order be?

I thought they just split the ping pong balls evenly....not positive though

I believe that may be correct for the lottery, but I think there is a some kind of coin-flip to determine who is 3-4-5 in case their ping-pong balls don't get drawn. The lottery is only for the top 3 picks.

Nice. I don't see what point there is in playing him against the Bulls either. The Wizards are actually on a roll right now, hopefully they continue that tonight.

Wiz get the win. Glorious.

I don't know how NBA tiebreakers work for ping pong balls, but NO beat us head-to-head so we could be looking at #4 assuming we don't beat Chicago tomorrow.

A loss tomorrow and t-3rd is the worst/best they can do right?

They would split ping-pong balls with whoever they are tied with. So if there is a 3-way tie for 3rd worse record, the 3 teams will split the 3-4-5 balls. There is a random drawing between the 3 teams to determine order Friday I believe in-case they don't get drawn in the top 3 during the lottery.

They could finish alone at 3rd. New Orleans, Sacto and Cleveland all have 21 wins. The Hornets play at Houston, who has been eliminated from the playoffs. The Kings host the Lakers, who are locked into the 3 seed in the Western Conference and have nothing to play for. As long as Kobe doesn't want to try to go for 40 to win the scoring title, they may sit their starters and the Kings could pull one out. Thibs has said he plans to play his starters tonight against the Cavs, Irving is not expected to play.

Bulls are still playing for home court throughout, so they need a win against the Cavs tonight.

Kings should be able to beat the Lakers without their starters. That would be a 2 way tie for third, giving the Cavs a 13ish% at the #1 pick
