Need TWolves and pistons out the way

nvm the top 3 got an equal chance

I think it’s a 6 team race. I got Detroit and Minnesota as bottom 3 locks with it coming down to us and the rockets for that 3rd spot which pretty much assures you of a top 5 pick. That last golden ticket is up for grabs we have the toughest SOS for the remainder of the season with the Rockets having the 2nd toughest. Look for OKC trade off some vets and join the tank race. The Cavs and Kings are both 1 significant injury from spiraling. The rest of those teams are pushing for those 2 play in spots.

Rockets gotta lose as much as they can cause if it falls outside of 4 it goes to OKC smh

Fuckin Russ
 
While yes he is washed I think Griffin in Miami would help us out a lot

He would:

Cement the 4 spot finally for us as it’s been a constant rotation between Olynyk, KZ, Harkless, and I believe Butler

He would provide passing from the 4 spot which helps because our offense outside of Jimmy playmaking is both the 4/5 facilitating and using dribble handoffs to shooters like Herro and Duncan. Griffin can fill in a void when bam is on the bench so there’s always a playmaker on the floor

Blake can’t shoot from three anymore apparently but if he can atleast get his % back to 34% it would help with spacing.

Griffin should be in better shape and conditioning in Miami which would allow him to move a bit better and on D and I mean just from him being a big body it’s not gonna be a situation where we would be undersized as we would be with like a Harkless or Igoudala playing the 4

it’s low risk but I do see the potential. If he’s a guy that just passes the ball and occasionally creates his own shot he’s doing something we could really need to help create stability

Griff gon play together with Bam? Thats kind of hard to see.

Lol hey Steven adams and Zion play together

but Griffin don’t even touch the paint no more so I can still see it

I look at Griffin the same way I do current Paul milsap

but worse case scenario, he comes off the bench for Olynyk who is arguably a better player than him at this point lol so I’m not too worried regardless

Butler should be MVP candidate if we just talking impact if Miami can get a top 4 seed. The numbers back it up

but cool to see

shoutout C wood

I dont disagree.

But this is only if the 4th seed is like 7-8 games over 500

If its like how it is now with the 4th seed only being 1-2 games ocer 500, then no.
