    Alright Silas, time for you to make the fans happy to put in the worst combo of players you can think of

    These final 3:32 are the biggest tanking sequence of the year. We can do this, people! Have. The. Courage. To. Suck.

    That was a big loss. It’s very unlikely the Rockets fall to #4 now, so at most a 33% chance of falling out of the top 5 picks, compared to a 27% chance of picking top 2.

    Of course I wouldn’t mind if they lost to the Kings again.

    Magic are going to lose out definitely. We need the Pistons to beat OKC and/or the Pacers and we need to continue to lose.

    **** is getting tight. Next game against the Kings is crucial. If they can lose that one the remaining schedule looks promising

    Now only if the Magic, Pistons, or Thunder could actually win a ****ing game for once...

    We have 2 games on the Thunder. Pistons play them this week. I think we’ll be tied for second worse with Detroit. Magic are losing out.

    Back to back games the Rockets had me worried they'd win a game they shouldn't.

    Hopefully the next game doesn't come down to the last possession again.

    When two teams have the same record, a coin flip is used to determine the order, right? Is it the same with a 3 way tie?

    Somewhere in the middle comps...

    Jabari - instead of 6'10" Klay or 6'10" Garrison Mathews.
    Chet - instead of Durant or Bol bol/Poku
    Paolo - instead of Carmelo.

    Will folks be Ok if they end up a...

    Jabari - Kris Middleton mold
    Chet - Marcus Camby
    Paolo - David West

    All ok long decent NBA careers.

    If Orlando gets the 1st pick and we get the 2nd pick it'll be pretty interesting to see what direction Orlando takes.

    1. They have a ton of bigs up front. Bamba, Isaac, Wendell Carter Jr, Wagner (who's 6'10)....and that just counts for the guys that are firmly placed in their future rotation.

    2. They have quite a few guards in Anthony, Fultz, Suggs....not a promising crop but still taking up roster spots.

    The logical pick would be either Smith or Banchero because they already have Bamba and Carter up front for defensive purposes so Holmgren wouldn't make the most sense...but then you run into a situation of overlap because Wagner and Isaac can play the 3 or 4 spot....

    The Magic could pick Ivey at 1 and then start planning on shipping off either Suggs, Anthony or Fultz....

    If you're Orlando, though, I kinda think you should be going BPA and worry less about fit. If they think Chet is the best player in the draft, I could 100% see them drafting him to pair with Wagner to be the team's future front court.
