How much money is Les going to make hosting 2 games against the best regular season team in NBA history? Do you think it would be enough to buy a second round pick? Its not like Morey has any good first round picks under his belt, ide take the extra cash and let Morey do his thing with the $$ for a second round pick, if I didn't fire him.
If Utah loses to the Lakers, won't this be a moot point. We've already won enough to squeak in if they lose.
SAC's in a 3-way tie for the 8th draft position, and 1/2 game out of 7th. They can get anything from 7-10th pick based on the outcome of that game. Don't be a hypocrite and say they shouldn't tank it, if you would do the same thing.
Do you feel a Coach or GM tells the players to go out there and try to lose? I know this does happen. Always wonder the process of how it goes on. haha
clearly this poster has made a real study of the 2015-2016 Rockets. There is not one single detail here that is out of place or incorrect. This is exactly how it should go down, if the future is anything like the past. Good post. Strong work.
I don't understand why "fans" would want to be so outspoken talking about how bad your team will lose. I know the odds are slim, but they were pretty slim in Game 6 last year. We actually do pull off a miracle upset, you have no right to celebrate.
Do you think Kobe will be allowed to lose to a schlub like Utah in the grand finale? Probably set a record for free throw attempts. Your game won't matter.

Morey deep down knows what this guy said was mostly true. Dwight not caring, and Rockets being undeserving of making the Playoffs.
If you're in the top eight of your conference standings, you deserve to be in the playoffs. It's pretty scientific. You'd think a self-proclaimed "realist" could understand that.
