There are NINE teams in the East that are worse than us. And there are a lot of middle of the road teams in the west. I don’t think we’ll be in the running for a Top 5 draft pick so let’s go for the playoffs this year. Only 1 team wins it (well 2 if you include the Cup) but that doesn’t mean the other teams don’t have fun. This team is so much better on D than the Lillard (non Wes) teams and Sharpe is our best all around player since Drexler.
Super impressive wins against the Wolves too. If it's Sharpe/Clingan/Camara/Banton leading our team to wins as was the case the last few games I'm totally fine with our pick not being as high. That will mean our young roster talent is worth even more than that pick. Let's see how the next 10 games go, only bad team was the one we just played in Atlanta.
It's not even Thanksgiving yet lol. Trade JG, ant, and DA. We play to get better, lose, and improve. The year means nothing except improvement while losing. To think it matters to make the playoffs this year... that's worst case scenario. It's all about next year.
Hey I was politely asked to leave The Uber Driver alone. But this thread will be fun to bump Nov.26th
This is probably a lottery team, but it doesn’t appear to be a top end one. Hopefully they can use that pick to help move someone? We also need to find a real answer at F/C who is mobile. Clingan can’t play against some teams, and while Rob is great, he is more fragile than some egos around here.
I am with ya Speed. F the tank. Let these guys win and grow while doing so!!! Blossoming right before our eyes.
I had minni, a conference finalist, as losses and they weren't. Likely a few more of these scattered in the next set of games you are looking at.
I have not been politely asked to leave the Uber driver alone but I will sit this one out and just read this thread from here on out. Should be interesting until the exact same conversation that is happening in 10-12 other threads takes over.
We just need to miss the playoffs (not even play-ins!) and get lucky. Remember Shaq's rookie year in Orlando... Also? I predict a lot of nagging injuries after the all-star break.
If we use our lottery pick just to move one of the stupid contracts we previously added in Grant Ant Ayton I'll lose my shit.
We just need to end up in the top 5. This draft is loaded. Flagg/Bailey would be a dream. But tons of top end talent after them too. Most would have gone #1 last draft. Also keep in mind, Chauncey's teams have taken a nosedive defensively once opponents have scouted them. This usually manifests in December/January, and Billups rarely has counters. I think we still end up with decent lotto odds this year, regardless of trades or personnel changes.
