Was wondering where the game thread was for this meaningless game lol
It's kinda nice that most of us finally agree that we're tanking the rest of the year to get the best pick, but are also happy about the Ingram trade as he's a solid core piece!

Does this finally mean that the pro and anti tankers have some type of common ground?

I know Dallas and Houston aren’t that far from each other but this is a back to back with travel for them starting 23 hours later. It actually is their 3rd in 4 nights because they played in Minnesota on Thursday night. Plus they are without their leader Fredrick Van Vleet. This might be a tough one.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

We do until the healthy roster plays together after the allstar break, the schedule gets much easier starting Feb28. Hopefully we don't rack up many wins lol

Great way to pass time before the Super Bowl. Many injuries on both teams and brutal schedule for Rockets should have the Raptors frisky and keep it close til the end.

Who's the best player from the 2021 daft thus far? Sengun(16) or Wagner(8)?

And don't say it's Scottie.

HOU has been downright meh without FVV unfortunately for us
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.
