I hate watching all these tanking teams because they all have better prospects than us. Even the Knicks at least have Porzingis.

AG and Elf are fine prospects/players. Earlier this year people were calling WCS a bust so these players really do need time.

A two game break on the Kings with 8 games to go is very likely going to mean they dont beat us in the lottery standings now. HUGE two games in a row for the Kings. Especially when they have New Orleans, Minny, Dallas and the Lakers in the next 5 games... So awesome. Now if only the Lakers can win a few games and get below the Suns on the tank standings it will be perfect.

Three late home games for the Lakers vs the Wolves, Kings, Pelicans is HUGE. Plus they have another game on the road vs the Wolves soon. If they win two of those four we could be in business.

Their GM commits to the tank, but the players forgot to listen.

Knicks winning, with the Magic loss, on percentages the Magic is again the 4th worst team.

We should win no more than 3 games - home vs Nets, one of Pacers/Bulls and at closing night with Pistons.

Knicks are our toughest competition. They have hard schedule but I hope they could at least beat Sixers and slumping Bulls at home.

Sixers shouldn't be a threat - they got Hawks, Bulls and Nets at home plus they might pull an upset win over Bucks or - more likely - Pacers at home.

Wolves have Lakers and Kings at home plus Lakers away. They should win all those 3.

With Kings we just need one win. They got Mavs and Suns at home and Lakers away.

It looks like we end up no lower than 6th seed with 4th being very probable.

And if Lakers could catch Suns, it would be just perfect.

Hopefully we rest some players on the back to back against Brooklyn. If we want the 4th pick this team can't win more than 3 at most. Winning 4 games will likely be the difference between 4 and 7.

Good for them. I mean they were running joke of NBA for last 10 years. i hope they turn things around. They didn't have positive win-lose record for 12 years.

Our tank was soap washed, waxed and polished last night. Very shiny and looks refreshed. Jeff Green even put a brand new lavender scented "Pure Magic" card on the rear view mirror.

Celtics/Lakers got nothing on the hatred that is tank rivalries.

i haven't even visited their boards. generally can't stand either fanbase so I don't even go to lurk.

Knicks fans are funny and more extreme than us so got into a fun pic/gif battle with a poster and got banned before it got far.
