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.

Prize

49,293 sats and counting! (That'll put some inbound liquidity on my channel)

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.

Warriors

Idk why everyone taking Rockets?

0 sats \ 5 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 22 Nov

Because we don't care about burning them now. The Warriors are probably the better short-term survival strategy.

ITS ABOUT SURVIVAL

"Live to fight another day" is a very popular survivor strategy.

@BlokchainB and @siggy47 have much to learn.

Is there even a prize for second place? I got 3k sats riding on this!!

There is no second best

Bulls

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 21 Nov

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

25 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 21 Nov

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

40 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 21 Nov

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

22 sats \ 8 replies \ @realBitcoinDog 21 Nov

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

0 sats \ 7 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 21 Nov

The deadline is tip-off tomorrow.

25 sats \ 6 replies \ @realBitcoinDog 21 Nov

Cool. Thanks for posting odds!

10 sats \ 5 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 21 Nov

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

21 sats \ 4 replies \ @realBitcoinDog 21 Nov

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

Never make the same pick as @grayruby

10 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 21 Nov

That gives him an awful lot of power.

22 sats \ 2 replies \ @realBitcoinDog 21 Nov

With great power comes STUPID STUPID MAN

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined OP 21 Nov

Still only a limited set of odds. You might just have to wing it.

Rockets.

Izzy's Picks:

76ers Celtics Pelicans Bucks Bulls Rockets Nuggies Kings

61 sats \ 10 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 20 Nov

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

19 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby 10h

Wrong

40 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined OP 10h

No kidding! She might be almost perfect.

25 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby 10h

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.

45 sats \ 6 replies \ @grayruby 20 Nov

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 21 Nov

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.

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

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 21 Nov

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.

29 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 21 Nov

Raptors haha.

I like the Orlando idea.

40 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 21 Nov

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.

You beat me to it.

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 20 Nov

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

17 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 20 Nov

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