I actually think 9th seed is a strong possibility

Yikes. I'm still flip-flopping between getting into the second round of the playoffs or being bottom 8 and keeping our pick. We are getting more athletic, but not sure our BB IQ is anything to be proud of - players and coach.

In cheering for this team to lose already. They are god awful and don't deserve to go to the playoffs and getting pounded there wouldn't be fun

[Defor]

Unless their's a trade i'm leaning toward tank.

[MotownMadness]

We have now fallen back to where it's going to be hard to even make the playoffs, Unbelievable

[Dre Drummond]

Currently in the 9th seed in the East... standing at 11th worst in the NBA we'd lose our pick for sure and not make the playoffs. We're almost halfway done with this season and we're sitting in the worst spot possible.

Our next two are against Washington and the Clippers... if we lose both of those game it will probably push me over to the tank side.

The way this season is going I wont be surprised if we land in ourselves in basketball hell. No 1st rounder, mediocrity, but lower tier mediocrity, to the point where we don't get the honor of being a perennial 1st round out in the playoffs.

Moose regressing, our offseason prize regressing, Jennings still shooting 37% as usual. Our coach talking to fans while our defense and rotations are horrendous.

At least Drummond gives us some semblance of hope. At this point the best thing i look forward to is 2-3 20 20 games the rest of the way for that monstrosity.

Odds are, you're much better off betting that we lose those. Considering what happens whenever we play those teams.

I'm leaning more towards tank for sure. Basically to reset what happened last summer.

Same thing is going to happen like it always does

We are gonna win pointless games towards the end of the season pushing us out of the 8th spot in the lottery.

We miss the playoffs, have a losing season, Bobcats get our lottery pick in a deep draft and hopefully once and for all Dumars gets lost, Cheeks is fired and a real GM and coach are put in place.

We wasted an entire season of Monroe / Drummond for nothing. We arent even using them together it's pathetic.

[MotownMadness]

I'm Watching Duke play right now and then Kansas is on next. My god Parker is awesome, Hopefully Jennings and Smith lead the tank in full force.

Then We get lucky and get one of these guys while Dumars gets fired and the new GM gets rid of Smith and Jennings. But I'm sure not of that will happen lol.

A fan can only dream...I'm with ya.

Right now it looks like the bottom of the west is dropping off some. There are now 4 teams out west worse than us, meaning at least three non playoff east teams would need to be worse than us (none are currently) in order to be in pick keeping position.

Its only going to get tougher from here as teams continue to tank.

Its probably best for us to get into the mindset that we will very likely lose our pick this year, and of course the possibility that we miss the playoffs as well needs to be considered too.

So basically no man's land. Great.
