    Yes, but I doubt our young GM could make a right pick.

    It doesn't seem we can improve our position since Chicago and New Orleans are playing abysmally. We only need to stay behind Memphis which looks fairly likely at this point as well.

    Just play the young guys at this point. With Battier hurt, K-mart with a sore shoulder, and other injuries, best to let the guys take it easy and start the off-season early.

    Play Bud and Brooks...and if Hill gets healthy, let him have a few games. Also play Andersen and see if there's any way to get his confidence up.

    He's weak.... Jerome Jordan ate his lunch that game, and Derrick Caracter kinda did the same thing. He's also a weak finisher when he plays against NBA-caliber bigs, and an erratic mid-range player.

    He's going to be a bust if he declares this season. He's an NBA-level shot-blocker, but nothing else about him is NBA-ready right now.

    The road to the (likely) 11th pick and 1.96% shot at Wall/Turner

    Seriously, we really need to hurry, as we're already way behind the 8 ball with these recent crazy ideas of "playoffs" and such. Right now, the entire focus must be the almighty

    ELEVENTH PICK OF THE DRAFT

    Yes, that's right. The Rockets are still within distance.

    Standings for the 11th lottery position.

    Chicago 33-38 ---
    New Orleans 34-39 ---
    Houston 36-35 3 games behind

    We need to make up 3 games in the last 11 games. That's quite difficult, but I believe a Nets like performance is possible. Adelman really needs to pull out all the stops. I mean, Martin needs to be done for the season. Scola needs to stop starting. Ariza needs to go back to being "the man". Lowry should be parking at the 3 point line. EVERYTHING must come together for the 0-11 losing streak that will cement our position as a near 2% chance at grabbing a top 2 pick!

    That and we need to Chicago and NO to start playing well. Scoreboard watch, baby. Start rooting for Chicago/NO wins!!!

    we don't need 0/11. i think 3/8 should do it. NO should be .500 with chris paul back and chicago ...whatever.

    Morey probably want to drop into that 6-7 range so that we might have a shot at DeMarcus Cousins/Greg Monroe, or even Donatas Motiejunas.
