NBA Emirates Cup Survivor Pool: Round 4 Picks

846 sats \ 46 comments \ @Undisciplined 20 Nov 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.

That's a bold pick. Hope it pays off.

He liked the Rockets as well but didn't want to pick the same team as me. Let's see how it plays out.

He won't have to worry about running out of options later, at least.

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

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.

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 21 Nov

I think the 76ers might win.

61 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 21 Nov

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

61 sats \ 2 replies \ @gnilma 21 Nov

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

Wrong

No kidding! She might be almost perfect.

I couldn’t get her off that Pelicans pick but it was pretty close so maybe she was on to something. I am looking forward to how she does taking over the cricket picks for me. I am waiting for the men’s big bash so I can start her with a clean slate.
