NBA Emirates Cup Survivor Pool Recap: Quarter Finals

We knew our party would take losses this round, but no one expect such a massacre.
Legendary Knicks villain Trae Young eliminated them from the tournament, and consequently @realBitcoinDog, @siggy47, and myself were made the fools for believing in them.
After an epic battle, @Carresan and @supercyclone prevailed over @gnilma, when the Rockets barely pulled off a win over the Warriors.
That gets us down to three contestants: @grayruby, @supercyclone, and @Carresan.
I'll do the semifinals picks post later today and dive into some of the scenarios.

I must admit that it's been a bit unexpected to lose so many of you at this stage. I think that I have been lucky at the same time, just winning by one point... Good luck to @supercyclone and @grayruby for the next round.

Every time @supercyclone makes a pick I say "I don't know about that, are you sure you want to pick x" and now he is in the semifinals.
Add that to my recent embarrassing showing in the UEFA and the fact I can't get out of the basement in the cricket pools even when I am making an effort to make good picks, I think it is time for an Inverse GrayRuby tracker.
It's like inverse Cramer but for sports picks on SN.

I should’ve picked the Bucks but of course I was saving them for the title game.
Really I should’ve picked the Hawks since I still had them!
Would’ve. Could’ve. Should’ve.
Too late to buy back in? 😭😭😭

That loss is still hard to swallow after sleeping on it for one night. So many "shouldn't haves"...
Curry shouldn't have shot the ball with so much time left on the shot clock
Gary Paton 2 shouldn't have thrown the ball away and instead should have called time out.
Refs shouldn't have call it a foul when they didn't call the exact same thing that happen 1 second earlier when VanVleet jumped GP2. Call jump ball or give Rockets the time out and let the players decide the outcome of the game.
Kerr shouldn't have stayed silent and should have challenge the call.
The game shouldn't have been decided by free throws / refs. Especially a game where refs were not calling obvious fouls throughout the game. Where is the consistency?
Alright, thanks for giving me a platform to vent. I keep reminding myself I'm not a sore loser, so this will be the end of me complaining about the outcome of that game.
Good luck to the rest of you still remaining in the contest. May the best picker win!
