    I’ve never seen us bond like this in the forum. NOW everyone wants the same thing.

    What incentive? 3 worst teams all get same odds.

    OK there is still some suspense but I really fucking hate agonizing over us possibly winning. Let this be the last tank season I have to go through. It's the right move but this is rough as fuck.

    if they lost tonight, they tie Houston at the #2 spot where the worst they could drop to was #6. at their current spot, they can drop to #7

    What’s sad is even if we played everyone and tried to win, this probably would’ve been the same outcome. We were that bad this year.

    They were tied with Houston in the win column.
    There is a 23% chance that both Houston and San Antonio both get bounced out of the top 4. In that case, Houston would pick before San Antonio if San Antonio has a better record.
    Could be a big difference between picking 5th, and picking 6th.
    Of course there’s over a 75% chance it doesn’t matter and one or both teams get into the top 4.
