|
|
Tankathon says there is a coin flip, but is that coin flip basically to see which team gets the one extra ping pong ball? So essentially both teams will have same probability. One team will have slightly better chance if they win the coin cows for one extra ball. Is that how it works?

| Yup. We split the difference and the coin flip is only if there is an odd number of ping pong balls to split. So not really much of a difference. One out of 1,000 ball difference. |

The other thing the coin flip assigns is official order, which is normally important if the teams in question don't draw into the top 3, because then the team winning the flip would have the higher pick. Won't matter to LA though. If they don't get drawn, Philly gets it.

The drawing is like the revolution. It will not be televised.

Yeah definitely. It isn't clearly stated in the rules, but it is just one coin flip that decides both? I assume it is from your pot |

| How about we stay at 21 and let Brooklyn catch us. They have a very weak remaining schedule and could easily go 5-3 with the way they are playing. |

We'll probably end up 1-7 or 2-6 in the final 8.

Here it is again.
Lakers:
at Min.....L
Clip........L
Memphs..L
At SA......L
Sac........W
Minn.......L
NO..........L
at GS......L
1-7
Phnx:
Clip.......L
at Port...L
Hous......L
GS.........L
OKC.......L
Dal........W
Sac........W
2-5
We get 2nd worst record. The only toss-up games for Lakers maybe the home Minnesota. For Phoenix maybe the home Dallas. |

At this rate the Suns will just have 4 guys on the roster and play 4 on 12.

The Nets catching up dream died last night with their loss to Philly. Blame Jeremy Lin's lame hamstring for the Nets finishing below the Lakers this year. |

| In don't think PHX plans on winning another game. I think that organization really wants one of those guards. They're pretty stocked up on 3s and 4s. |

Unless they want to trade Bledsoe/Knight, they also have an expensive backlog at guard too since Booker is going to play lots of minutes.

Jackson would be perfect for them, because I don't know if they want to commit big money and starter minutes to another one-way wing in Warren. |

Given Sarver's love of Nash, I wouldn't be surprised if he was hard up for Ball. And I actually think the Suns are the perfect situation for him personnel-wise. |

Bottom line, don't risk anything with a meaningless W. |

It would be fun to watch Ball toss half-court lobs to Chriss. |

I think this is the ideal situation for them. Draft Ball/Fultz and trade Bledsoe. Isn't he due for an extension soon? |

Let me just remind you all that not so long ago we sat in 4th in the tank standings and still ended up with the 2nd overall pick. Im approaching this as stress-free as possible and letting destiny control the process

There is the bob sacre rule that will prevent that. If you only have 4 available players left, Robert Sacre appears. |

LA should just start "resting" players more towards the end so we can become the true Tank of the West.
