    It was over in November. Just messed up and won way too many games. Now they will suck next year also unless they can figure out how to add some talent.

    I hear Lillard might be available at some point in the next couple years?

    Not a bad loss. Lots of positives against the best record in the league. Even if Ant was shooting so-so it would have been a different game. He was just off.
    DC and Scoot had solid outings; nice to see.

    More than half our attempts were 3s.

    They don’t have the best record in the league.

    We still have a promising future, I don't think Ant is part of it.

    I think that Sac is going to show up against us and while I think we're the team with the higher ceiling, I think the Kings will beat us. I think the Knicks will beat us the game after that.

    At that point I have to think that our front office will think it's a better idea to duck under the Spurs than to keep pointlessly fighting to make the play-in... but we'll have to wait and see. If we lose out I think we'll end up in the 8th spot in the draft. The future is where we should be looking to.

    8th spot can at least move up

    Exactly how did San Antonio end up with a worse record than the Blazers? Seriously the 76ers and Pelicans shouldn’t have a worse record either?

    They all see how loaded this draft is they all knew they weren't making a championship run, and they made more prudent decisions than our organization did. Hopefully we just get luckier than them and end up with a top 4 or more preferably top 3 pick.

    If we lose to Sac, there isn’t much of a path since we have to pass 2 teams and the tiebreaker vs the Kings is necessary. Suns play Boston twice and OKC so losses are coming their way.
