Dem beautiful balls race

That’s a pretty tall order. As bad as we’ve been this year, we’re still at a 43.8% winning percentage. Winning only 3 games is a 16.7% win percentage. We’d have to win games at almost a third of the rate we have up until now.

See if the Jazz lose their next 8 games and pick up a game or two on the Nets in the process.

We have yet to see our ten day contract guy and Potter and Preston. There is hope.

In any kind of lottery race it's also important to keep in mind that the final 2-3 games for all the playoff teams will see _a_lot_ of players rested. The timing of who you plan when will mean quite a lot then.

That may not be the case this year with things so tight. One loss can be the difference between home court advantage as well as having to participate in the play in.

Sure... if you take the season as a whole. However, we have 1 win since the trade deadline. Thats below 16%.

We also stopped trying about 3 games ago. So... 16% foe the remainder of the season feels more than doable... it's probable.

I was surprised to see Steph sit out for the warriors last night in their home loss to a wemby less spurs team.

Maybe he was legitimately hurt

Heh. The Nets are up by 19 pts on the Cavs in the 4th quarter. So yeah...there's at least a chance they can win this one.

Edit: Now the Nets are up by 26. Go figure.

Did not see that Nets score or the Wizards win coming

The Nets owe their pick to Houston this year (from the original James Harden trade), so they shouldn't be motivated to lose. They just need to run up against teams that are worse than they are.

I mean their two previous games were against the Pistons and Hornets and they lost both of those.

Maybe they're better at playing up against better opponents? Weird team

I hate tanking, but **** it, this season has been a complete disaster to watch, so I guess rooting for losing is better than nothing.

Sengun with a brutal ankle injury tonight could make things interesting with the rockets.

Houston have some weird incentives here. Their own pick is top four protected. They will not make the play in so the further down the standings they slip, the better odds they have of winning the lottery. They also want the Nets pick to be as good as possible and don`t want to see them passing us. With three games left between us and the Rockets, we could actually see some outstanding tanking moves here.

With Sengun out you make a good point with the weird incentives. Things could get very interesting with three head to head matchups.

Well yeah, I don't expect him to come back this season, but it's hard to know with these injuries.

We all thought KAT tore his Achilles last season and then only missed a couple months. PG had a nasty looking hypertension a year or two ago and missed fairly minimal time.

I just hope it's a hypertension that him back for training camp, and not a torn ACL that has him out most of next season

The hawks are getting bit by the injury bug hard right now. Bey just went down with a torn acl. That is Trey, Johnson, Okongwu and Bey injured right now. Johnson should be back pretty soon but this could get rough for them so we better start resting Sexton a little as well.

We need to start ordering flu pizza delivery from the Monaco Bambara for Lauri and Sexton every night.

I will feel a lot better if we can come out this 4 game home stretch with a loss to the hawks. That is a huge game to lose. Hopefully Rudy is back for those 2 wolves games or they could be a little scary as well.
