Wizards are dead set on making at least the play in game. Orlando beat Kawhi last night and look like a better team. CLE will be tough though.

Every game is important. I mean one game made the difference between Terrence Ross and Damian Lillard. Damn Nets.

The Bottom 3 pick slots are set, with Minnesota, Houston, and Detroit. The battle is for the 4th and 5th slots, and both Orlando and Cleveland will be tough to beat. I think Washington will try their best to make it for the play in game, which is a relief. Toronto is in a battle with Cleveland and Orlando. With Lowry gone for 1-2 weeks, I am hoping FVV, Pascal and OG are load managed a lot until the rest of the year. Our only hope of getting at least 5th.

We have to go like 3-7 or 4-6 our next 10 games and then the schedule gets very tough. If we for some reason go on a huge losing streak the next 2-3 weeks before the tough stretch I think we can safely nab the 6th pick. Cavs schedule is so brutal I just don’t see us out losing them. Overtaking the wizards should be our priority. Hopefully Beal gets back soon.

Welcome aboard! Unfortunately we only allow one plus 1. I hope that isn't an issue for you.

I agree. Cavaliers will be tough to "out-tank". Hoping both Orlando and Washington continue to win down the stretch, more than they have been winning. It would be nice to get the 6th pick, but there is a talent drop off in the NBA draft beyond the top 5- Cade, Mobley, Suggs, Green, and Kuminga. Hoping regardless of where the Raptors ultimately finish, just hoping "luck" can be on our side and we can end up with one of the top 4 picks in the Lottery.

Oh I know, Jalen Johnson is cool but I really want the top 5 guys. What I mean is I hope we get the 6th slot for the higher odds to jump to the top 4 during the lottery.

I will forever defend the name of Tank Field Marshal Baynes. I refuse to let anyone besmirch his legacy. I was about to say good legacy, but I will just leave it at legacy. I salute you.
I acknowledge and thank the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples of the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations for allowing me to live, work and play on their unceded traditional territories.

Do any of you patting yourselves on the back realize that 'tanking' now is not the same argument as 'tanking' at the beginning of the season? And I'll remind you, a lot of you wanted to have a fire sale at the beginning of the season
