    it isn't. young teams seemingly do better in the end of the 2nd half bc that's when a ton of the relevant teams stop caring and focus on the playoffs while resting and taking it easier. The sorry teams know they're otw to Cancun so they don't give af

    Yes so that will inflate their wins some. That's my point. Schedule will lose up, young players will carry some added experience to the second half and teams are going to care more about time management for the postseason.

    it won't. i've already broke down "winnable" games remaining in another thread. They'll be lucky to win 20 games

    It doesn't take a full roster to beat this team. that's already been proven

    This year is a lock for Wemby team. Delusional someone who thinks otherwise lol.
    Next year is when we clear the 40M cap space from Wall, and we will have Wemby (or other top prospect) + actual PG and Coach.

    The owner and GM don’t want to make the play-in

    @topfive only 3 degrees of separation from Scarlett Johansson.

    But that ain't gonna happen either.

    While I’d like to see growth from all of our players this year, and think that should translate into a few more wins, I am fully committed to one more year in tank mode. And while making the play-in certainly would demonstrate progress, we just aren’t good enough to skip the last year of the foundational rebuild. We’ve got some young talent, but we need to add at least one more big cornerstone franchise draftee before we start focusing on making and competing in the playoffs.

    we aren’t gonna make the play-in so this is a moot point.

    I mean this is probably the worst time to ask this question anyways after back to back games in Denver.

    People are very upset. Right before Denver people were a lot more optimistic.

    Nothings changed. It doesn’t matter when something like this was made. There was one made before the year started. Both delusional. They were never going to be a play in team. It was always whether or not they could win 20 games.

    Wembyland is where they’ll stay

    We only have a 14% Chance to get Wemby. Two years ago, everybody thought we were going to get Cade and last year we did not get the 1st pick and we had the worst record in the league. I WANT TO WIN and I want each individual to get better and the team as well. There is a lot of talent in this year NBA draft, not like the Cade/Jalen draft but its close. We should try to win and see what happens. It would be tempting to play in the play-in after the ASTROS won the World Series...Very tempting, should we take the bait...
