    But wait, shouldn't 13 other lottery teams be trying to tank too? And don't forget about the 8 other playoff teams who are looking at a first round exit.

    I don't know how we'll be able to lose much ground un-competing with 21 others teams who should also be trying to lose.

    agree.

    any tanking thread is cool.

    any thread about playoff chances is a waste of bandwidth.

    I want to ask Morey this question before this season this year started... would you rather have Brad Miller or Tyson Chandler at center. I said Chandler during the summer. I am really interested to know this answer. F Adelman what do you think Morey lol!

    They have a seriously weak frontline. Outside of Stoudemire, D'Antoni's looking at Turiaf and Shelden Williams, and they're on the verge of signing journeyman Earl Barron. Laughable...

    The Celtics would absolutely stomp NY. But, a NY/Miami 1st-rd series would be very interesting as both are thin in the paint and love to run.

    There is no guarantee that Carmelo going to the Knicks makes them better THIS season even if they are healthy.

    In Houston moral victories mean something but Doc Rivers coach of the Boston Celtics said moral victories are BS! LOL

    We just need to clean house from the top down. This no-defense team isn't fun to watch.

    Atleast bring let the bench play, I'm tired of watching this free-throw game.

    This season has been full of bad luck: injuries to Yao, Brooks, Miller and whoever else, Budinger already degressing, Hill not progressing, AB dealing with his injury the way he does etc.

    That is something I can take but not working hard and not playing players who deserve it (Patterson, Isiah Smith and maybe Twill) is something I cannot take. Therefor Adelman, Brooks and Hill are people I do not want to seen next year.

    the biggest problem this season has been the bench.

    I don't care about Paul but I think we have a huge chance with Dwight.

    -Best buds with C. Lee
    -His relationship with the Dream
    -Always has great things to say about the team, organization and city

    He's rumored too want to sign with the Lakers but they already have 91 mil commited for the 2012 season.

    Lowry
    Martin
    Hamilton
    Patterson
    Howard

    not a bad starting five

    I don't think that's going to happen, but if it did, I'd be done with the NBA, anyways, so I wouldn't care what happens.

    People are just being totally over-dramatic. This isn't the first time in NBA history that a team or two was stacked with talent, and it won't be the last... Hell, do people not remember our very own 1996 Rockets?

    Rockets have no luck. Therefore whatever we want to happen that could benefit us--won't.
