Embiid had the most impressive missed shot I’ve ever seen, not sure how the hell it was even physically possible, but it was quite impressive.

JJJ made his return last night.

Looked a little rusty, but 15 points (4/11 and 6/6 from the line) and 8 boards with 4 blocks in 18 minutes is a good start.

It feels like forever since he’s played. Great news.

The Jazz are a wildly different team with and without Rudy Gobert on the court.

Conley is the only one who is capable of holding things together when he sits.

Hopefully Snyder makes sure to always have one of those two on the court during the playoffs.

OKC is a disgrace.

I think Cavs fans need to make peace with the idea that they will likely see the team drafting in the last quarter of the Lottery.

A combination of continued poor luck with everything related to the rebuild, but also teams so blatantly tanking that it would make Hinkie blush.

Its a completely Cavs type of thing to have a rebuild of perpetual 5th picks so thats what I'm preparing for.

I figure they'll end up with the 6th worst record so drafting 5th would actually be a positive development.

Also impossible, right?

If we get 6th worst.

 

[PIP]

I dunno I’m thinking a combo guard at #5... No taller than 6’3” and the same kinda chemistry with his teammates as a traffic cone...

Probability of the 6th worst record drafting 5th: Zero.

You also said Cavs fans should make peace with drafting in the last quarter of the lottery. Probability of drafting 11-14 with the 6th worst record: zero.

We have a pretty brutal schedule from here on out and no scoring to speak of from the forward position so I agree we’re likely to end up no worse than 6th worst record. Probabilities for that lottery position:

1 9.00%
2 9.20%
3 9.41%
4 9.62%
6 8.62%
7 29.77%
8 20.33%
9 3.68%
10 0.15%

Roughly 50% chance we draft 7 or 8 and 37% chance in top 4.

Another 8th pick it is then!

Yes.

That’s the joke.

I'm figuring we end 6th and pick 7th. Trying to make peace with Moses Moody.
