2025-2026 Tank Race Prediction Contest and Current Results Thread

[Elizah Huge]

I think I feel okay at 7 but 8 feels destined to be disastrous. In any event, I want to get as high in the draft order as possible.

If there’s a way we can help New Orleans or Sac with stuff that won’t concern us in a couple of years that should maybe be given extra thought.

7 is **** around and find out territory

14.2% chance we lose the pick at 7 compared to 3.9% at 6

We are now 50% in to the season and the current standings are:
1. Indiana
2. NOP
3. WAS
4. SAC
5. BKN
6. UTA
7. CHA
8. DAL
9. MIL
10. MEM/LAC

I hadn't realized that Memphis had dropped so far. We have enough cushion that they shouldn't be a problem, but just another team to watch out for.

We have a beautiful slate tomorrow. Two “someone will win this game” games.

Pelicans @ Pacers
Wizards @ Kings

I want pelicans and have no idea in the other game.

Pacers over Pelicans would be better.

I'll take Kings over Wizards.

I just think NOLA will pick up a lot of wins in March/April when everyone else is hardcore tanking and they are trying to win games to spite Atlanta. I'd rather have other teams like the Pacers pick up wins now.

Wiz will tank their way to the bottom. Untouchable imo. Kings are frisky now and prone to bad judgement. I will take them over Wiz.

Pels need help now. I know they don't have a reason to tank but they have the perfect tank formula... high usage inefficient guards who are not good defenders and bigs who also suck at defense. I don't trust Zion or Trey tbh to stay completely healthy. They have the better chance to pass us as I think Indiana has Carlisle in on the tank and will rest Nemby and Pascal if they need to.

Sabonis is back tonight, that was a surprise.

I think they are doing pre-trade deadline showcasing... I think their FO is in on tanking. But it doesn't take much for Vivek to decide they need to change routes for no reason.
