    To get into the top 3 they will have to play 4 players instead of 5.

    I sense your sarcasm, but I live in NC and have the misfortune of watching a lot of Hornets games.

    They will probably do things like give PT to Bouknight on a last chance type experiment, and give minutes to a few of their other young guys that aren’t really rotation ready/worthy.

    Typical, end-of-season developmental minutes for a team not really worried about being competitive.

    It really wasn't sarcasm. I was curious if you thought that means completely shutting down Terry Rozier and Gordon Hayward. That is what I would call "all in on the tank." They are on a 5 game winning streak, but they are right on the verge of a top 3 pick and a tie for best shot at #1 overall. It's an interesting spot to watch.

    Spurs might win, gives us a bit more room.

    At some point we have to get the #1 pick, three years in a row as the worst team in the NBA.

    Curry is getting close to returning so they should continue their upswing. We need Dallas to quit sucking, but the main thing we need is the Clippers to keep losing. They have to start resting Kawhi some. He's been averaging 38 mpg over the last 10 games. No way he holds up if they keep running him out for nearly 40 mpg.

    Been saying this. But apparently it may be in our heads and not the reality of the situation *shrug*. Just seems like the second and third worse get that the first pick more. Got to keep reminding ourselves it's 14%. 14 times out of 100, we'll get the #1 pick.... It's just ugly odds when you break down what it means.

    The Rockets need to start tanking to stay "ahead" of Charlotte. Getting to close to comfort. We don't want to be in the position of having to have all five starters "injured" the last few games or something.
