I'm sorry guys, Im absolutely swamped right now and have 0 time for a game thread. So this will have to do for tonight. Looking at the box score, seems like another loss.

Why was this game on so early? I thought that it was starting right now but it's already over

Oh well. It's not like I expected anything else against a strong Rockets team. It looks like Ian, Miles and Sloan played well, at least. I'm happy for them.

During MLK day they play the games at odd times, it's been that way for as long as I can remember.

Just watched some highlights, pretty atrocious effort on defense in this game, no belief any more?

So, we're right now at the 8th slot in the draft lottery, and looks like Orlando and Utah could overtake us any day.....looking at the 6th spot in the lotto.

Purposeful or not, looks like the tank is occurring.

Sacramento could further implode and drop below us though. I think no matter what we're going to have to hope some lottery balls fall in our favor for once in the franchise's history. Though I wonder if someone like Mudiay might slip since he's playing in China and has been injured. It's probably good that it's a big heavy draft and lots of teams will likely go for the bigs. We could end up with a top pg or wing in the draft. Would be nice to have one of the top bigs developing under West/Hibbert though.
