NBA Emirates Cup Survivor Pool: Round 4 Picks

776 sats \ 27 comments \ @Undisciplined 20h Stacker_Sports

We've made it to the middle of the Group Play portion of the Emirates Cup. Sadly, one of our party didn't make it this far and two others have sustained serious wounds.

It's probably worth thinking about who will still be standing come the Knockout Round. Remember that only eight teams advance.

Games (Tournament Standings)

Nets (1-1) @ 76ers (0-2)
Celtics (1-1) @ Wizards (0-1)
Warriors (2-0) @ Pelicans (1-1)
Pacers (0-1) @ Bucks (1-0)
Hawks (2-0) @ Bulls (0-1)
Blazers (1-0) @ Rockets (1-0)
Mavs (1-1) @ Nuggets (1-1)
Kings (0-1) @ Clippers (0-1)

I never could have imagined wishing that I still had the Hawks available for a pick, but here we are. I'm leaning towards the Kings.

Despite of @siggy47’s struggle this week, I’m going to pick Nets. Good thing is that due to the time difference, I will not watch it and will check the result in the morning. So I will not suffer much.

I actually like the Nets pick. It's one I'm considering.

You know what I want. When is the deadline to pick?

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 3h

The deadline is tip-off tomorrow.

Cool. Thanks for posting odds!

The odds still aren't all available. They must be waiting for injury news/player availability.

As am I, of course. I’m very sophisticated in my strategy.

Never make the same pick as @grayruby

Rockets.

Bucks playing well but Lavine is on fire. He must be a trade target.

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 14h

This is close to what I was expecting the Bucks to look like this season.

Where do you think Lavine might go? My guess is always LA for him, but I also think he might work in Orlando.

Raptors haha.

I like the Orlando idea.

40 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 14h

I bet the Raptors could land Lavine without much trouble.

Charlotte also came to mind, but I don't think it makes any sense. I would just enjoy watching LaMelo and Lavine.

Izzy's Picks:

76ers Celtics Pelicans Bucks Bulls Rockets Nuggies Kings

She might be flying a bit too close to the Sun this time.

45 sats \ 6 replies \ @grayruby 18h

I tried to talk her out of the Pelicans but she said she picked the Warriors last time. Impressed that she recalled.

Supercyclone said he wants to wait until tomorrow to make his pick. I don't know what he has up his sleeve.

46 sats \ 5 replies \ @gnilma 15h

Other than the 76ers, Pelicans, and maybe the Bulls, the rest of the picks are pretty solid. I'm thinking she will probably get 5/8 maybe even 6/8 this time.

51 sats \ 4 replies \ @grayruby 14h

I think the 76ers might win.

61 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 14h

It'll be another embarrassment if they don't.

61 sats \ 2 replies \ @gnilma 13h

They are already an embarrassment, falling from a supposed contender to a terribly losing team.

You beat me to it.

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 18h

That's an interesting choice. I'm looking at them too.

17 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 18h

I like the Kings as well but for some reason the Clippers are still decent and they are at home.
