Mavs fans are going to be so pissed if they chose to have no chance at the play-in and lose the pick anyway.

But the Spurs have their own motivation to tank: they are tied with Houston for the 2nd worst record.

In reply to Brian Cronin.

There’s still a relatively decent chance that they’ll be jumped by a team from #11-14. They were in position to lock in the #9 pick (and thus practically a 95% chance of finishing in the Top 10) had they not won two games for no reason.

Won’t it still come down to a coin flip if they beat the Spurs and either OKC or Chi loses and doesn’t make the playoffs?

Yes, but the presumption is that the Mavericks will make sure to lose to the Spurs.

No, I did not, bc there was no Gorman’s in the 90s.

I did get to sign Derek Jeter into Finley Hall a few times so he could bang my friend on the dance team, though.

He’d always bring Shane Spencer with him, and my friend, Pete (a die hard Mets fan) would always try to fight Shane Spencer.

Btw I think this might be the third time we’ve had this conversation.

yep, too bad to lose the pick, but oh my goodness – what a shitshow for the mavs here this week…

whether it was best for their long term interests or not – what they did today was pretty weird…

Oh also while having to watch the liquor truck back itself into the priests’ dorms twice a week because there’s only so much rigorously celibate study you can do sober

Wait a second… are me & Jowles both Rams?

Did you also flash your well-under-21 ID at Gorman’s for entry only to have to literally fistfight people twice your size at the bar line to be served several $7 cranberry vodka (2004 prices) only to have your eagle-scout, hall-monitor RA literally sniff at the bottom of your door for the scent of illegally-gotten spirits and then also watch him watch you pour a perfectly good fifth of Hennessy down the sink’s drain while you fantasize about crushing all his fingers with the bottom of the beautiful bottle that you painstakingly procured

I too share the responsibility of jinxing it as a 49 win prediction owner. We are in this together.
