Great day for lottery fans.

The nets defeat the Clippers and improve to 4-40

It appears John Wall may be ours after all.

 

OH YEAH!

 

We have a winna!

Edit: Why do I keep getting willie warren now.. I Want PATRICK darn it!

 

T-Mac must be laughing somewhere in Chicago.

 

As the count decreases, the thread rating seems to be increasing

 

This post makes me think you are not a Rockets fan. You're saying you would have taken a lottery pick last year over a second round exit to the champion in THAT hard fought of a battle. What the hell man, we hadn't gotten out of the first round in like 13 seasons.

The playoffs is what the NBA is all about. I'm sick of idiot fans that even consider us tanking. Cause every real Rocket fan knows that not one of those guys playing right now is gonna give up on the season, nor will Adelman. Teams don't even tank in football where there is no lottery. What kind of a crappy organization would tank?

 

Nevermind I just saw the x4 and understand what you meant. I still think you are a moron, and that any normal fan would take the playoffs over the lottery. Are we all really that blinded by one lucky lottery that we would take that over watching this team compete in the playoffs?

I'll stick to Daryl Morey's genius picks later in the draft than take a 2% chance at getting the number one pick, if these Rockets can push into the playoffs.

 

you live in a fantasy lala land if you think there is no tanking in sports.

Maybe the lottery should be based on the first 42 games of the season. At the halfway mark, most teams in lotto land stay in lotto land.

 

John Wall, Brooks, Iggy, Landry, Yao.

What a lineup that would be..

 

If we got Wall we would probably trade Brooks.

 

So they will torture us the rest of the season...pathetic

 

wtf mr. andersen

 

i dont think the recent play is because of trade fear,i think they are who we thought they were.<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8QR0n0Ot8nY&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8QR0n0Ot8nY&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

sad thing is they arent even tanking right now when they play this bad, in reality they are really this bad.

 

Dunno if its been posted, but my first click on the NBA Mock Trade by Chad Ford we got Patrick Patterson from Kentucky.
