Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5206394, member: 1969"] I think the Clippers are likely to miss the playoffs, but I don't think they will give too many lotto balls in the process to OKC. The Clippers lack the incentive to outright tank come February as they have no end reward for it-- while most other lotto bound teams will have a strong incentive to tank especially if they didn't hit in 2024. Certainly OKC will have a "chance" at the top pick, but it will probably be 10-14 in terms of # of balls, rather than top 5. As long as the Clippers have a mathematical chance at the play-in they will keep pushing with the best of whatever they have that is healthy (or even post elimination) The above is a recipe that makes it hard to not win 30 or so games. I think they will come close to 33.5 number you just posted above. I think it's about the bang on number for them, so I wouldn't touch it if I gambled. plug on this season. [/QUOTE]
