Re: Tankapalooza - Home Stretch Edition!

Yup, to keep the 3rd spot, we needs a masterful tank. May have to settle for 5-6th on the pole.

Re: Tankapalooza - Home Stretch Edition!

Oh tank how I have underestimated you. Not only can you lose games, but you can use your ultimate tank powers to make Orlando win games :chuckles:

Re: Tankapalooza - Home Stretch Edition!

Tank so hard, this shit weird

If we keep losing at this clip, we can probably bring back Kyrie for the last couple games of the season without jeopardizing our draft position.

Re: Tankapalooza - Home Stretch Edition!

Magic Numbers:

How to measure magic #:

  1. Start with the full season's worth of games (82).
  2. Add a tie-breaker (+ 1) if necessary (83). This will remove the coin-flip.
  3. Compare the team you want to be better than (or worse than) a specific team.
    1. Ex. You want the Cavs to be worse than the Phoenix Suns.
    2. Ex. You want the Lakers to be better than the Utah Jazz.
  4. Take the Cavs loss totals, add the Suns win totals, subtract the total from the season AND tie-breaker (83) to the get the result.
  5. You do the same for the Lakers, except add the Lakers win totals and the Jazz loss totals and subtract 83 to get the result.
  6. Whatever the higher number is (a team's added wins or losses), that's the true magic number.

To be fair, I'll give an explanation.

  1. The first set of numbers after the wins, losses, and win percentage is the magic number, or #. It exemplifies how many losses a lottery team needs (or wins a playoff team in their conference needs) to earn a seed in the lottery. Simple enough. It also shows the number for the two 8th playoff seeds in each conference, but in our case, the Los Angeles Lakers are there.
  2. The next set of numbers is the magic number to clinch the first lottery seed, the most amount of ping pong balls. We unrealistically try to pray to pass the Magic and Bobcats to no avail (and rightfully so), so follow along as other team fall out of the race with us.
  3. So predictably, the next two would be for the 3rd worst and 5th worst records. In the draft, the players we want to get would be in the top 5, since statistically, they are known to be the ones that become all-NBA players. Just an encouragement to be bad but not sacrifice TOO much.
