man all of the western teams lost. This is a real rat race. We still need to lose out including philly or we could end up as low as 10 still. iF philly or Orlando win 1 of their last 2 and philly beats us our lottery odds jump up 12-14%. It's pretty simple. No stagnation we need to lose the last 2 now

Well we aren't gonna beat the kings of the tank in our last game against Philly so we need to hope we lose the two games leading up to that game and hope these other teams we're going against win at least one.
PHilly has some interesting positions with Lakers and SAC!!!
Hinkie might be a genius after all!!!
We should be discussing our playoff match up, but for the 4th straight season, we are discussing draft picks in april..depressing to say the least.
Now I know How cleveland browns/sixers fans feel like..Praying for that next pick thats going to save the franchise..Wow
Dallas is tanking hard. They were up 10 at the half against San Antonio yesterday. They benched Nowitzki, Barnes, and Noel to start the second half and immediately the Spurs went on basically a 20-0 run.

To be fair, this is only the second time in the last four years we've actually had a pick. Last year was worse with no pick.

Yeah, we build on the 54 win team by getting Bargnani! We should have kept Sheed, Kidd and Kurt!!!

Nah you are the "fan" implying we are praying for a pick to save the franchise.
We just need a good player to fit in with the rest of the youth we have.... if you are praying for a saviour....
What's wrong with hoping you draft the next great player? That's ALWAYS the hope of every Lottery team. You hope for the next Steph, KD or Lebron. Aside from those players who actually has a great chance to win a Title???
All of these last 3 seasons we set out with hopes of making the Playoffs. There was no hope of making the Finals. As bad as the losing has been it clarified the Truth of our situation. This team needed to rebuild with a better core of talent. They tried to make it work with Melo at the core and there wasn't any success in adding a Top Tier Free Agent who could move the needle.
MOST of the best FA's stayed home and KD went to one of the best teams in the league. All that was left were players that just didn't move the needle. Who could we have added that would have significantly made the difference based on what we saw the last 3 years???
It's time to move on and try a different approach!!! We haven't tried the DRAFT!!!
Just lose next 2 and we slot into 6th place.
We will not drop below 8, but it looks like 7 will likely be the spot we land. I wish the Kings had no lost last night. How did they let the lakers beat them.

Like why are the Lakers winning games for? They don't wamna pick in the 2017 draft i guess
Watching the Sixers they were playing hard but just weren't talented enough. The Knicks could lose to them if they sat some guys or played the weaker players longer. A few less minutes for Willy and a few more for Plumlee type of move. Sasha is playing way too hard to have him log a lot of minutes. LOL. He's throwin up 3's like a fool. If he gets hot it's gonna ruin the Tank. Same goes for CLee and Melo.

for that to matter Philly needs to lose to Indiana on Monday. And Knicks need to lose tomorrow.

Luck of the draw hardly makes him a genius, no matter what the outcome. 4 years of tanking and nothing to show for it yet. Embiid and Simmons still haven't played basketball for real yet. 30 games for Embiid in 3 years is not good. He missed Giannis, Porzingis, McCollum, Booker, etc with all of those picks.
