    I can’t stress enough what a great job Coach Silas has done in getting us to anti-1st place! He set a goal and never waivered from it! I hope everyone else sees what a great job he’s done!

    Yes, I suppose it's crazy how he has been able to accomplish this in spite of having the next Olajuwon (Wood) and the next Harden (Porter). Also the next Charles Barkley (Tate). Now he has the next Klay Thompson (Brooks).

    I love how Stone has accumulated 4 point guards. How better to share the ball than to have 4 guys that can't put the ball in the basket.

    He’s not tanking, he’s just not a very good coach.

    There is no benefit in having the WORST record in NBA.

    Not surprising considering his dad was a mediocre coach himself.

    But you can’t win 2-3 games because end of the season, other teams close to you will start throwing games and the bottom 3 spot can be in jeopardy

    Coach was told to tank and be in the bottom four, he’s done that in spades and kept a smile (I think) under his mask while doing it! If anything he’s overachieving his mandate!

    I know losing sucks!!! But imagine he gets cute with this and wins a couple more games and we voluntarily give our pick to OKC. Losing it via a lottery is one thing, being cute and fumbling at the 2 yard line is idiotic!! If that we’re to happen I will become a permanent D&D poster and boycott anything Rockets related!

    FYI.... I avoid the D&D like my sanity depends on it...

    I thought that too that's the way it used to be but they changed the rules of the lottery now it is a complete joke

    So basically they change the rules to avoid tanking

    So let's say you have the absolute worst record number one worst record you can actually fall as low as six or seven I believe

    A couple years ago during the Lakers draft where Zion went went n number one I think that's the draft supposedly the top three teams all fell out of the top three like literally all three teams fell that's why everybody thinks its rigged

    I definitely think it's rigged I think they changed the lottery system so they can rig it easier


    My phone is acting up so I'llI'll stop but there's like five reasons I think it's rigged it all has to do with money

    the good thing about the Rockets is that we have a more popular market then the Pistons or Timberwolves you don't see Pistons or Timberwolves gear on people in Nevada where I live but I see Rockets gear almost weekly

    So I think that may help us have Adam Silver give us the number one pick or at least the top two picks

    if we don't come away with either Cade or Mobley and keep the pick i am going to be just at rock bottom

    but I don't think we are tanking I think Silas is trying to win I just think he's a really bad coach and I don't think John Wall is throwing games I think John Wall is really this bad and it has me really worried for the next two years because we are stuck with both wall and Silas so even if we draft Cunningham I'm curious what will happened to John Wall

    The lowest would be 5, which has the highest chance.
    Lottery probabilities are something like this

    I was listening to Stone the other day on 790 and it was a really hard listen for me. He blamed injuries on the poor season I’d say at least 10 times. Also said several times that other teams were tanking and they were not.

    I know he cannot come out and say they are tanking, but the excuses, him calling out other teams and his tone really bothered me. Such a tough listen.

    Prestige, there is always prestige. When we tanked, we did it properly.

    The benefit is that if we accidentally get a couple wins then we can still be in the bottom 3. We should aim for the bottom, not aim for 3rd worst; that is too risky.
