I hate the position we’re in this year so much.
Me too but if we win too much because of Ace and Key then so be it.
Ace is looking like what I was hoping to get in the next draft if we tanked hard.
Key looks like a top 3 pick as well.
Kessler has proven himself.
All 3 guys are very young. Future is bright.

Would still like one more bite at the apple though and also don't want to make OKC better.

So back to your point, ya it sucks to be in this position.

Thanks DL

From a purely competitive standpoint, I couldn't be prouder of our team right now. After such a thorough beat down on Sunday by one of the most stacked teams in the NBA, it takes incredible mental fortitude and determination to push through for a win. Most telling to me was how the Rockets were trying to find a weak link and break it down. It was obvious that they attempted to physically break down Lauri, but the soft label no longer applies. One can only imagine the verbal barbs that Nurk must have been subjected to from trash talking KD and the rest. Best I've seen from WCJ and possibly Svi as well. It's a shame that Flagg has been playing so well because Ace is playing as well as anybody in the ROY race and Flagg gets the glamour bump from going first and being so highly touted.

Also have to call out the coaching- the coaches told the players they had ‘lost the plot’ - attacking the strength of the D last game.

This game they stuck with the plan and attacked their weak links enough to force Rockets players to sit most of the second half because they were getting exposed.

We out rebounded the elite team and massively cut our turnovers. Just a masterclass from Hardy and his staff.

This was all called out in the radio call and postgame analysis, which is miles better than the TV crew at the serious work of basketball.
