    Time to separate the men from the boy and find out who wants that guaranteed top #5 pick more

    No Tate? That would improve our offensive spacing and rating.

    Tate has one of the worst offensive ratings on the team.

    Green has a higher offensive rating than KPJ also. So KPJ, Jabari and Tate should play to maximize our losing chances.

    It doesn't even make sense for us to lose this game? We get the same odds if we win. the bottom 3 are pretty much a lock with Detroit Houston San Antonio. Everyone else has 20 wins. We can go on a 6 game win streak and it still won't matter,

    The odds for #1 are the same... but not the odds for #6

    imo it makes the most sense for us to try and get the worst record, because we are not going to win the lottery. so the worst record guarantee's us at least a top 5 pick

    Rockets will win tonight. Losing streaks snapped. See what happens tomorrow night when they play in Houston.

    We can beat the spurs both games and still have the worst record.

    we'll be tied w/ them, but they'll likely overtake us rest of the way

    Lol what makes you think that? We've lost our last 7 games by double digits. Games haven't even been close or competitive. How are we magically gonna win?

    If the goal is Victor it absolutely doesn't matter if we get 5 or 6. We are screwed in either scenario.

    There’s always a great chance to lose when Sengun is playing. Spurs just gotta go at him all game, he can’t guard anything or anyone!

    Shhh. A lot of people think worst record means sole best chance at the #1 pick.

    1) spurms are sitting out everyone these days w/ rookie sochan as their go-to guy
    2) we're not getting victor, i'd rather have pick #5 than pick #6

    Anyone familiar with this NBA primetime on YouTube? Does YouTube now have league pass? I’m guessing same blackout restrictions.

    Load management. The starters don't play in the 1st or 2nd game of back to backs
