    In short: Enjoy the win, enjoy the growth.

    Wemby will either be here or not. The percentage is the same

    Would trade the pick if it falls outside the Top 3, nothing conflicting about that one.

    It is not great timing.

    Guys even if we get Wemby there are going to be multiple players on this team that are going to be here long term and they need to understand how it feels to win consistently and make it a expectation to win night in and night out. They need that feeling.

    That was a cool win at least. Buzzer beater, comeback. Spoiling a desperate playoff hopeful team.

    Spurs back to back wins were incredibly stupid though

    After that win, we can all get along and be friends for the night. I’ll argue with y’all later on. Let’s enjoy this one!

    Anyone who didn't enjoy the win is too high on tankium.

    Great to see the growth and competitive spirit from these young kids.

    We're still probably in the bottom 3, still the same odds at picks 1-3, so just relax and enjoy the win.

    uh no. Silas has been trying to win all season. he was just too much of an idiot to realize all the players he is STUPIDLY winning with now were behind trash vets he decided to play instead. Everything Silas does is backwards and ANNOYING!!

    No actual problem with that but winning after the ASB is just for show, it's like winning a consolation prize.

    Hope those young lads grasp that you can't slack off in the winter.

    Felt like when Green went for 40 and the game was already over last year.

    I guess after the tank was secured Stone gave the green light to start winning

    Well, technically, they COULD wind up picking 7th if they finish 3rd worst.

    5-3 with KPJ since he made his return from injury.

    If Wembyy is watching the possible top 3 lotto teams he may tell Silver that he is praying for Houston since they have the young nucleus with the best box office potential, inclusive with actual talent

    For sure, Jebari and Porter were key contributors.
