    sigh, I don’t even know why I even bother with some of u random posters sometimes

    the Rockets are 12th in the conference, and 1 win behind OKC for 11th, but somehow they would need to jump 4-5 seeds to compete for 10th according to your logic

    try again

    Bro what makes you think any of what you said is likely to change. We arent good. There's a chance that Wall comes back and balls out of his mind but whether or not it will matter or make us better or can he even stay on the court is a whole matter onto itself. its also not a high chance that he will comeback and back and ball like crazy. Listen we are not a good team. We are probably the worst defensive team in the league even with wall healthy. then you throw in that most of our guys are injury prone its not looking good. We dont need to worry about tanking in the west, they will take care of it for us lol Just sit back and hope for the best. If we are good enough to make the playoffs great, if we suck really bad we're going to trade everyone anyway there is no debate about tank vs not tank to be had lol.

    Can you imagine a game of 1-on-1 between Blake & Boogie?

    I'm sure they shopped around. Jarrett Allen is a nice player but as an asset his value isn't that great when you probably have to give him a max deal this summer and take on Prince's salary for this year and next as well.

    Milwaukee has a lot riding on Holiday resigning in the offseason. If he leaves for some reason they are going to be really thin next year with very few ways to really improve. At that point they'd probably be a long Giannis injury from the lottery. Unlikely and it's not like I'm going to root for the injury part of that, but not impossible.

    We're 13th seed and the only game we won recently is by one point to a terrible Pistons team lol But next time don't bother replying to a random poster as if being here longer some how makes you a smarter person lol. If thats your only angle you should try again lol

    We'll see what happens. In my view we've been hit with just about with most chaos in the league: combined injuries, starting lineups, new staff, systems, players, etc. This team isn't tjhat great, but lets not pretend they are peaking at 4-9 pace without some kind drastic change for the worse. I don't think theres a solid argument for that other than thats the record we had prior to today. That'd be actively disregarding the scenarios and SoS.

    Why would you want us to be the 10th seed? To make the play-in just to get slaughtered by the Lakers again?

    Aw. The fragility of recency is a fascinating thing.
