    They need to be really bad to have a shot at that top 4 pick.

    We will make it as a lower seed. Should be fun to see the rest of the season.

    pretty sure there's a decent chance of keeping the one step up, two steps back record going throughout the season. it will be exciting to say the least :rolleyes:

    To keep pace with .333, we are destined to win one game after losing two. Hmm...

    The schedule is cruel, filled with tons of consecutive road games.

    This thread doesn't make sense because I doubt there would be much improvement right till February and March.

    And also be extremely lucky. If the Rockets are the absolute worst team in the league they only have around 52% of getting a top 4 pick. It ain't even no 1 that's pick 1-4. From where the Rox are right now they only have 48% chance of getting a top 4 pick lulz.

    http://www.tankathon.com/pick_odds

    People who advocate to tank just don't understand what the lottery odds are. The new lottery odds really resemble a lottery more than anything else. If you are the absolute dog **** team in NBA history you will average at pick no 3. That's how bad the odds are. If you want an average chance of getting the 4rth pick you must actually be 2nd worst AND then you gotta hope your luck ain't bad cuz if you happen to be the 3rd worst guess what you average 4.1 which means you will most likely get the 5th pick.

    Plus, this is Houston sports. This town and good luck for sports never happens. We're going to land the 5th pick. That's just how things are.
