Darko with a masterful tank.

Down 3, inbound to Poeltl(from Gradey). You can't do it any better folks.

LETS GO.

Perfect L

Great games for Ochai, IQ, and Gradey - three pieces that are part of the core moving forward.

Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

The tank rolls on. Getting a top 5 pick would be huge.

With how well the Hornets and even the Nets look, I think we might be a bottom 3-4 lock lowkey. We need Barnes back but I don't think he'll bring us out of the hole we're in right now

The injuries, hard schedule, and slow start to the season couldn't have come in a better draft.

Top 5 pick here we come!

The schedule will turn easy again and watch us be fully healthy for it.

Silver gifted us the perfect schedule to start the season.

10 games into the season and we're sitting in 2nd last position.

Couldn't have asked for a better start. Keep racking those Ls boys!

And don't be shocked when alot of the vets get moved for draft picks and prospects....By the time we are healthy we will be way 2 far behind in the standings to even try at that point and the draft lottery odds will be the priority for everyone

Masai better not blow this. Just like when he made the hard decision to trade away DD, OG, and Siakim at crucial times, he needs to make some decisions about our roster too. We still have a lot of deadweight. Get rid of them for more assets and complete the move to a full on tank.

I don't want any attempt at trying to make the play-in. Not this year.

I'm just worried that once all the players come back and easy schedule starts to kick in.... we might be getting some wins that could deter our chance for a top 5 pick.
This draft is miles ahead of this year's draft, and we realllllly need some talent. I can already see wins against trash east teams in Feb or March that might hinder the tank....

We've lost most of our games this year by 1-2 possessions, and that was with multiple starters out for most of the games. Once Scottie comes back, it'll be over for the tank. Nothing Masai can do about that.

Even with our current record, I can't see us outanking about 5 or 6 teams, min.... unless we lose our starting C... we are too good once Scottie is back.

Let's see if our starters are that much of a difference, or opposing teams are just taking easy on us right now.

My fear is we end up near the bottom of the standings and still only end up with the fifth or sixth pick.
