If I’m counting right, the Spurs have been in the lottery 7 times and have now won 3 of them.

And you forgot Cleveland who won 3 out of 4 years after LeBron left!

San Antonio hasn’t picked in the top 8 in over 25 years. They’ve picked in the top 10 five times in the history of their franchise: Alvin Robertson, David Robinson, Sean Elliot, Duncan, and Sochan. That’s all their top-10 picks over 50 years. It’s hard to get a small-market conspiracy indictment in general, but certainly not with that kind of admissible evidence.

Damn straight, tastycakes.

These lotteries are so fucking rigged to favor these welfare teams who can profit while tanking bc they’re stealing money from the real teams.

Chris Paul, AD, Zion to the Pelicans. Robinson, Duncan, Wemby to San Antonio. So many more.

Here’s the easiest fix to tanking of all time: base the odds on a 20 year rolling record. And to make sure the same damn teams don’t keep winning over and over, weigh past lottery success.

It’s so damn easy but these small market teams run the league like those damn CONCACAF islands run FIFA.

Even Murray who went off was a huge defensive liability. They went at him every possession down the stretch.

Reaves with a huge game. Hachimura
also a huge game and looks like the answer to Jokic on the defensive end unless Denver can force AD to the perimeter.

Shoot…even Fournier would be a step up for the nuggets…is Reggie Jackson on their bench,…why can’t he get any run?

Imagine being Joker, putting up that line, and still having the game this close.

I wonder if Denver fans would like a JAG like Grimes to have in their rotation, I doubt it
