Toronto Pick Watch (Top 6 protected)

[onechance87]

Toronto has already started the tank

Thats not who they are tho

[scott]

I count 5 winnable games left on TOR's schedule DET, @WAS, BKY, WAS, @BKY). Will really depend on whether DET and WAS feel confident enough to add some wins to the the total (they should be), and what BKY is doing, though they have zero incentive to tank since HOU has their pick. These could all easily be losses for TOR.

Meanwhile, I count 6 winnable games for MEM (WAS, CHA, @SA, DET, DET, SA). Memphis doesn't seem to have any regard for draft position, though they should. It is looking more and more like TOR will finish 6th and it'll be down to a coin's flip in terms of odds of getting the pick this year.

Drat that Toronto for injuring their players! Why isn't this bigger news?

If your win scenario plays out, it will literally come down to a coin flip to determine who is 6 and who is 7, since they’ll be tied.

Yeah, if the win all their winnable games... but I handicap better odds that MEM finishes +2 or better than TOR to close out the season. Anything can happen, but unless MEM starts caring about draft position I feel confident TOR will finish 6th.

Also, apologies to the poster named DET. I wasn't trying to tag you, I was trying to denote @ Detroit.

Gradey is the longest tenured Raptor available for tonight. Yikes.

And that Raps are up 18 halfway through the third. This league is wild.

Hopefully, they go full on Memphis, beating teams with minimal personnel.

They've completely blown that big lead, Denver is charging... I doubt TOR can hold on, but we'll see!

[scott]

Yeah, this one has completely gotten away from the Raps. Down 5 now, on the way to losing by 15.

fck u raptors

[Ariel]

Well, watching the lineups that Toronto had on the floor for much of the 3rd and 4th quarter, I think the tank is on. Buckle up guys, we're in for a bumpy ride.

[onechance87]

Come on man, the injuries are the reason dude. No other way around it. They’re not the same after their best player went down, say nothing of Jak being out.

They sat sum good players today buddy...Dont tell me they aint trying to tank,When they still got a chance to make the play in.
So expect them to do this next year as well.Unless yall dumbass believe they gonna be in the playoffs next year.
We aint getting that pick.Wright got fleeced once again.

[TD 21]

Another bigot with an agenda.

No matter how the pick turns out, the potential value of it (a mid lottery pick from a then fringe playoff team for a role player at an over saturated position) automatically makes it a great trade.

Apparently couldn't finish; another soft performance.

[TrainOfThought5]

there is no way wemby accepts that.If they run this back again.Hes embrassed of himself getting drafted and
yet the team got worse some how.We cant have this tension build with wemby and players and media after this show of a season
going thru this again.

the hawks are one Trae young knee injury away from the high lottery pick, which should belong to us next year. And I think we also have a top ten protected pick to Chicago.

OK, but then what?

And I'm not sure on relying on a player's hypothetical knee injury is that brilliant of a strategy.

What chance do they have to play in? Both Poeltl and Barnes are out for the year.

[TVI]

They played Denver tight last night, but couldn’t sustain the whole game.

bend over, I'll give you a that can finish

[slick'81]

Rapotors know what the fck they're doing

Yep, they are trying to dive into that 5th position to better their odds. Not saying they make it to 5 but doubt they fall below the 6th worst.
It's going to come down to lottery luck for the spurs. With some luck the Spurs still get the pick at 7.

It wll be an exciting lottery draw watch for Spurs fans.
