    People are overreacting to rockets playing the worst team in the league in back to back games.

    It's frustrating but it's not Stone or Silas fault at all.

    We’re really gonna blow it, aren’t we?

    What a facepalm if the tank falls apart the last few games because Silas wants to play vets 24/7. Wtf

    I think they don’t have a real preference to draft at #5, so, as being any of the last 3 teams, the chances for the lottery are the same, they just prefer a cheaper contract at #6 ot #7, and they’ll try to win as many games as possible.

    Here is Fertita again

    These takes are ridiculous. If you like a player at #7, you still do everything in your power for #5, then trade down for a future 1st rounder. The notion of wanting to save such little money, even with TIlman at the helm is outlandish.

    @peleincubus

    My prediction of 25 wins (without Wall) may be getting closer in these last 9 games

    But I only see a possible 3 more wins in the remaining schedule:
    Kings (3-7) in last 10 games
    Kings .........Portland was 2-8 in last 10 games prior to Rockets B2B
    Hawks (6-4) in last 10 games [ last game of season, may let down their guard ]

    Pacers at 25 wins (current) should be safe.....so Rockets no worse than 4th
    worst record if meeting 23 wins. In the mix with: Thunder, Pistons, and Magic

    Crazy season

    Can someone pull up the stat for how many times the worst team record got the number one pick?

    I love how everyone on the webs seems to think we've been tanking all along to fulfill some plan. We've just been that terrible in due part to avoid the tanking, that's the ironic part.
    Ironic like I had the brew she had the chronic but not quite rain on your wedding day ironic.

    My prediction

    SAS : L
    SAC : W
    SAC : L
    MIN : L
    at BKN : W
    at TOR : L
    ATL : W

    I don't have a lot of faith in the Hawks or Kings. I gave us a loss at Brooklyn because I think the Nets will rest Durant and others.

    OKC plays these same garbage Blazers twice and play the Pistons. If they win 2 of those games the Rockets should be okay.
