    Nope. Then you play the rookies and 2nd/3rd year players. I don't expect this team to tank this year and become a 40 or 50-win team next year (but please do surprise me, Rockets). I mean, maybe some others do, but I'm not nuts. I honestly think we may be too good to be a bottom-3 or bottom-4 team if we played "all the best players" and had average coaching. We'd still lose, for sure. The 4 worst teams in the league are within 3 games of each other. Detroit is basically tied with us. Yet somehow we're waaaay worse than the Spurs with coaching and FO greatness and we're worse than Detroit who actually has/had veterans and high draft picks, too. I'm hoping we do win some games here and there now that the worst-4 teams are putting distance among the rest of the league from the looks of it.

    As for OKC, they did some great things like tanking... and oh yeah, they did manage to get SGA. That would be nice if we had a SGA on this team. They did well with the acquired lottery picks they had or flippped picks for talent. We aren't there yet.

    Like I said, I don't know for sure if they're tanking or not, but the "weird" part is what I kept saying is why a lot of what they did didn't make sense. I keep thinking there's a reason for all this. I always thought it was weird when Silas looked like somebody shot his dog after games initially, but magically, after a while, he seemed to chill out and say "we're developing". Like somebody told him his job was safe ... for a while ... and to buy into what we're doing ... conspiracy theory? Maybe. Is it right? Who knows. I'm just here for the ride, and like I said, I don't know better than anybody else.

    Lord, I sure hope so, otherwise I have no clue what's going on. Either that or he's just pissed and sucking, and we just don't mind. A case of "if he does well, great! If he does badly, well, great!" LOL. Like I said, I have noooo clue on that one.
