    How bout the rockets show their appreciation by not being incompetent, fumbling away their opportunity for a high draft pick, that the fans had to suffer an entire season to see happen. I really can’t stand this organization.

    Another worthless win that just hurts our future. I’m rooting for San Antonio to get Wemby. The rockets don’t deserve a top draft pick this year.

    We are lucky SANDRO MAMUKELASHVILI went off for the Spurs ...

    This team is legit trash, we (barely) beat other team's G-League squads in the final month of a season to make our worst draft case scenario worse than it has to be.

    I am going on sabbatical now that the season is over. I want to say it's been good, but it's been pretty awful. NGL.

    Are the Spurs incompetent?

    I’m glad Silas is gone. PLEASE send Hollins out the door with him.
    Thanks in advance.

    Will it be any less of a disaster if they're drafting 5th or 6th, though? Based on everything I've read and watched, there doesn't seem to be a huge difference between any of the prospects in that 4-10 range.

    How does it hurt the future that much, though? I don't understand that take or why I continue to see people get that upset over these last few wins. You're that mad that there's a slightly higher chance that they could draft 6th or 7th vs. 5th? The wins literally don't hurt their chances at a top 4 pick whatsoever and there's now a whopping 7% chance they could be picking 7th.

    This isn't the Texans blowing the top overall pick with a pointless win in a game they could (and should) have easily lost. This was a team winning a few meaningless games that have zero impact on their chances at the elite prospects at the top.

    *Knocks on wood* If we don’t get lucky and decide to trade the pick, pick 5 will be worth more than pick 7.

    If we decide to use the pick, sure you can say all the players are similar but we’re risking not getting our preferred option.

    But most importantly, these wins have just been so pointless. Why waste so many minutes on scrubs like Nix, suck for 90% of the season, then beat up on the Spurs, Pistons and other team’s G-League squads in the last month of the suckfest?

    The Rockets could have easily finished with the worst record. Not sure what they were trying to prove these last few games.

    Not incompetent, but Pop is pretty anti-tank and makes their situation complicated instead of being able to maximize assets.

    I don't think the difference between the 5th and 7th pick is worth being in the history books for most consecutive years of having the worst record.

    So the Rockets are incompetent for doing the same thing Pop’s doing? I’m confused
