I don't see anyway we lose this game, but if we did, we'll be .5 game out of the 4th pick. With an Atlanta team that looks to be improving, we are knocking on the door of the best odds of the lottery. On the other end of the spectrum, we're only 4.5 games back from the 8th seed.

The smart move would be to lose against all Hornets 'opponents' (nyk, Cav's, Minny, gsw, detroit, kings) so they will probably win all remaining games against those teams.

There is still a chance to be around 14th position in the East, but Kings and Minny are now fully tanking too in the East.

I dont know the stats, but it's more than annoying to see - at least this is the feeling i have - always the same teams tanking year after year (Cav's, Minny, Nyk mostly).Except during the lbj era, its like Cav's only have a nba team to tank and collect lottery picks (and use them on Bennett like profile, so let's say they are not really a problem after all).

Can't wait to see some fix in this league to prevent full tanking or limit it to a couple of seasons every decade, something like that. This league is totally meaningless right now (9 teams tanking in the East, and around 5 in the West already).
Pretty glad to be a euro fan, we might have average players here, but man, we do have real competition (in most leagues, european cups included).

I want this W pretty bad. Its one thing continuing to lose and get best odds for the number 1 pick. Its another when you have the 2nd longest losing streak in the league and losing to the Knicks on top of that.

The odds are already pretty spread out where tanking isn't nearly advantageous as it once was. What we see happening now is teams floating around the bottom(8th seed) until the trade deadline. You see where your team is then and you either buy or sell on this season. Fact is, any team in the East can still make a run and get in the playoffs.

My vote would be to have less games in the season so each game counts more.

Pretty bad when Zeller is the main guy creating offense.

Our best finisher without a doubt. He can also get to the rim with his moves and is able to create for others once he draws the crowd. More or this please. Needs to improve that deep shot and he’ll be a complete offensive player for us.

PJ was defending him well when he was on him. Randle has just been hitting everything. He looks like Bobby Portis circa 2018

Rozier would be so good playing 2nd fiddle to a Lebron/doncic type. Fierce competitor, good defender and great catch n shoot player. I think he would look great in Dallas this year
