    Magic absolutely not winning another game. They're not letting go of the worst record.

    Yea, I think we just need to keep the second worst record. Decent change we will tonight.

    I believe in the tanking potential of the Rockets. They can collapse like no team we have witnessed in Houston.

    I'm not watching that game, but does anybody know what's going on? It's like Bey, Cunningham, and Stewart played for about 7 or 8 minutes, then called it a night with 6 players carrying the load the rest of the night (?). Weird. And you know OKC is tanking hard if they get blown out by that squad. lol.

    I assume Detroit is trying to stay in the bottom 3 and not go on a winning streak.

    Love the grit of these young kids. Fighting hard to win, but have to stick to the mission.

    Glad Detroit won, but disappointed with the Magic. Damn Magic, couldn't pull off a win??

    CONTINUE THE TANKING!

    These were clutch losses. Rockets finally did something right.

    With a bottom 2 position pretty much locked in, the rest of the season should be stress free. And frankly, I don't care about passing Orlando. The only thing you gain by passing them is eliminating that 20% chance of picking 6th. But if they end up not being able to draft one of the three elite bigs or Ivey, do you really care if they're drafting 5th or 6th? I kinda don't, as I don't think there's a huge difference between guys in that 5-10 range. This feels like a 4-player draft to me at the top, but I'd be curious to see if anyone feels otherwise.

    If Rockets and Magic both end with same # of wins, what happens? Who gets that magical top 5 pick protection?

    Apologies because I know this has been addressed a dozen times already.

    I think it's a coin flip, but I'm not positive.

    Coin flip, after the lottery (as it might not matter if one moves into top 4).
