2025-2026 Tank Race Prediction Contest and Current Results Thread

We're a little over 20% in to the season and the standings are:
1. Washington
2. Indiana
3. NOP
4. Brooklyn
5. Charlotte
6. Dallas
7. Sacramento
8. Utah
8. LAC
10. MEM

I don't think we'll catch Washington or Brooklyn. I still think Indiana will win some games. I think if we can stay within a couple of games of NOP then we can pass them at the end of the season when they don't have any reason to lose. I think the main teams to watch right now are Charlotte, Dallas, Sacramento, and Memphis.
 
Washington gets the win!

I haven’t watched them so if anyone here has feel free to chime in, but on paper they seem like they should be regular bad, not one of the worst NBA teams ever. What’s their deal?

The incredible Confederacy of ******* we are seeing at the bottom right now is frustrating. We are on pace for 22 wins right now and are still in position to give up our pick at #9. Feel confident we can pass two of Sacramento/Clippers/Dallas but that only gets is to #7. Long season to go but usually the early season is more competitive still.

New Orleans and the Clippers are especially frustrating as they're not even covertly tanking, they're just truly bad
 
Memphis now comfortably behind us, Charlotte, Dallas, and Indiana playing better in the last few. LAC has to play better at some point, right?

Portland is threatening though.

If we could have managed to lose to SAC we would be in 6th place right now.
 
Milwaukee is 2-8 in their last 10. Part of the appeal of that pick to Atlanta is that it is the best of the NOP/MIL picks, meaning if MIL finds itself in the lottery those odds are stacked on top of whatever odds that NOP ends up with in getting a top 4 pick.
 
We’re only a quarter way through and things will change. But right now it’s the worst case scenario. The Jazz are on pace for about 25 wins. Normally that would be enough to keep the pick, but so many teams are worse than expected.

If we lost the pick, there could be some solace in saying that we were a better team than expected. But in this current scenario we are not any better than expected and yet we still lose the pick. Worst of both worlds.

Our record against bottom 10 teams this year is 3-3, last year our tank strength was our record against bottom teams. Basically any record improvement this year vs last year can be explained by not sitting Lauri against other tanking teams.
