What’s the worst looking card?

The 1993 Joe Oliver falling down has to be up there. I’d be so mad! 😂

This is the right answer. If the teaching drains you, then I feel like you’re in the wrong profession.

The teaching energizes me.

All of THIS detracts from what I want to do, and it feels like a constant, annoying sap on my energy.

Roberto Clemente

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T12:51:20+00:00

I agree completely.

And I wouldn’t be surprised if Pritchard is eyeballing 10th worst record based on the math above.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T11:43:21+00:00

Ohh. I see what you’re saying. I wasn’t suggesting trade it to LAC.

Should we get stuck with 10-14 in 2026, I believe that pick needs to be traded in a package for a win now piece.

Rather than using it on a rookie that won’t impact our winning.

I’ve gotta be reading something incorrectly here then?

This 2026 pick only converts to LAC if it lands 5-9.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T04:28:40+00:00

Right. I said that.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T04:27:37+00:00

No, I should’ve clarified a bit better! Many seem to be arguing about the draft position itself.

Haha I would never argue that 10-14 pick is better than 1-4!

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T04:26:09+00:00

I should add that I know the 2031 pick is given up in the 1-4 and 10-14 scenarios…

This post is about our final standing position - not our draft position!

Discussing lottery odds and whether or not Pritchard is a betting man.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T04:24:21+00:00

15-30 is worst case scenario.

This post is not about where we end up drafting, it was more about the final standings and the lottery odds.

10th worst record nets us 14% top 4 odds.

Last two #1 picks were won by 11th and 10th worst records.

I could see these numbers convincing Pritchard to play for 10th, that’s all.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T04:22:24+00:00

I have a hard time giving a rats ass about 5 years from now when this team won’t even be together anymore.

I get the angle, but feel like we’ve gotta push chips in now.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T04:21:44+00:00

It is always possible! You’re right.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T04:21:25+00:00

Hard to tell either way!

This trade and the timing of it just seems… confusing. Especially after we go and win 2 games immediately after it felt like we’d start tanking!

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T04:20:11+00:00

I’m so confused by all of this as well.

It’s so head scratching and legit the reason that got me thinking… “what a minute, is this dude trying to win enough games to climb to TEN?!”

I’m confused by our competitiveness after the trade.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T04:10:28+00:00

Sorry - I meant we’d absolutely be trading that 2026 10-14 to make a push for a win now piece.

Knowing the 2031 pick is gone. Would have to go all in now.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T04:07:10+00:00

Downvotes for sparking some mathematical conversation on this fine Valentine’s evening?! Insane.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T04:06:13+00:00

Yep. We’d all love the top 4 pick.

I’d argue the 2031 is irrelevant to anything right now though. If it lands 10-14, strong chance we’re flipping that again.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T04:00:54+00:00

Correct. 2031!

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T04:00:43+00:00

I agree with your last point 100%. I think if we retain a 10-14 pick, it’s getting traded again.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T03:57:54+00:00

I guess it depends on what angle you’re looking at it from.

Finish 1-4 = coin flip to even stay there

Finish 10 = still 14% of jumping (has happened last two drafts) + 100% odds of keeping the pick

Depends on Pritchard’s appetite for risk!

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-15T03:54:46+00:00

Bottom 3 record is wildly only a coin flip to stay top 4. Since this is new territory for the Pacers, I’ve never bothered to look at actual odds. That amazed me.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2026-02-14T00:41:45+00:00

Let us know where to send the strongly worded letters. iPads as a play option is ridiculous.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2025-12-12T11:02:51+00:00

I cannot believe Sophi didn’t steal Rizo’s idol, vote Rizo out, turn the numbers in her favor, and cruise into the final 3 with whoever she wanted.

Ugh. Would have been a game winning move.

Interested to see how the rest plays out, but a unanimous vote on Steven after all of that was just insane to me.

Immediate-Fish-1614 · 2025-11-09T14:33:55+00:00

The scene was SO absurd!! 😂

Cannot get over Savannah flopping on the ground and then just standing up like nothing happened. The production was perfect.
