Rockets are 6-24 on the road. Could be a get for POR

Meanwhile a guy like Tyler Smith may well be available around our pick.

Unfortunately the Trail Blazers are out of sight. We could’ve finished worse than them if we actually tanked. Instead we’re risking losing our pick because our FO actually thought we were a playoff contender.

I only see 2-3 wins there (POR, DET, WAS), and they’re all away games, so it could go either way.

More concerning to me atm is that, if we’re not careful the Nets are going to out tank us and we move from 7th to 8th.

I don't think we're going to be in the mix for a high lottery pick next year. I see us comfortably in the play-in.

Do you think the Nets are going to tank to improve a pick they are giving to Houston?

Continued development from Scottie, IQ, RJ, and Dick.

I think only two games seperate us and they’ve been just as bad if not worse than us recently. Sorry if my use of ‘tank’ triggered you, but they’re nosediving regardless.
