Regardless if we pass Memphis or even Portland or not it's always gonna be up to the lotto gods to dictate things. If it's any consolation, the draft next year should be better, which is important if we're in the mix for a top 10 pick again.

We might genuinely get 5th in odds by season's end.


I had them winning 6 of their last 21 games prior to knowing about Poeltl's injury and that Scottie had surgery (I thought he could be back for a game or two).

Now I can't see more than another 4 wins.

They play Washington twice, the Nets twice, and Detroit next week. There are maybe 2 wins in there, as those teams are also horrendous. They end the season with 2 games in Miami, where they could win one depending on what kind of team Miami fields based on their seeding. Then you have to figure they might win another one accidentally against a team that didn't take them seriously.


They play Portland Saturday night in the Tank Bowl


I have them losing that game with Simons going off for 40+.

It will be a day of fireworks on this board and that alone is worth delivering a top 7/ top 8 pick to the Spurs

This is straight up weirdo ****.

Yes, realgm, famously a place where no one ever argues.

Don't you have another terrible thread to make?

Another awful prediction about the team where you're wrong... again and again and again?

Wouldn’t actually mind that. It’s been pretty quiet after last night’s loss.

Yeah, Barnes and Poeltl timed it poorly getting injured far too late. :roll:

So stupid.

That's your opinion. No actual fans got us into this mess of tanking without a pick and about to deliver a top 7 top 8 FRP to the Spurs for a role player center

We will be really bad, but not cause we want to, but cause we cant be better than that.


Jakob isn’t getting surgery on his non shooting hand if the games mattered. They’re tanking.

I think a healthy team will be in the play-in next season. This year will end up being a missed opportunity to add a good young piece to the core (if we convey).

The entire talking point about mediocre and stuck in the middle has just been hyperbole until this season: Masai achieved the perfect mediocre and stuck in the middle season.

If the OG trade hadn't happened, this season would have gone down as one of the worst in our history

Actively wanted the worst outcome for a team you cheer for because you want to yell about things online is clown behaviour.
