twolves and pistons both win.  rockets down double digits in the third quarter...

also they should draft davion mitchell with one of their picks.

Yeah, I am good with that. He's a better version of Monte Morris, who is a great guy off the bench for the Nuggets. Even if he takes Augustin's spot on the roster.

Cavs too. That puts them at 18 wins, don't think the Rockets can win 4 5 more this season.

fucked around a little too much in the 4th quarter for my liking, but the rockets are now two games clear of detroit for 2nd worst record in the league.  only trail the wolves by half a game.

Gotta play John Wall and Danuel House more so that the Rockets have a better chance of losing.

They have to stay healthy. Neither can do it.

heat lost tonight, which is always good in case the lottery gods do not smile upon us.

I still have hope they slink down to the play-in games and get eliminated. Only 1 game ahead of both the Knicks and Celtics.

Establishing a floor of the lottery would be huge, I think even getting Kai Jones or the forward from Gonzaga at the end of the lottery would be very good. Though maybe a lottery and their other two firsts, and can get them into the Top 5.

it's a possibility.  spots 4-9 in the east are just separated by 4 games.  an ill timed losing streak and you can lose several positions very quickly.

I get the sense no way no how anyone is trading a top 5 pick in this draft for other draft compensation. It’s considered 5 legit dudes and then a big drop off. 

Even within the Top 5, it seems like there is a clear Top 3 of Cade, Mobley, and Suggs. Which of the three would y'all want if we picked first? I think I lean Cade because he might have the highest ceiling. Suggs /Mobley are basically tied for second.

I lean Cunningham and Suggs because basketball has evolved into guard play being the most important aspect.

Mobley is good, but if no one can get him the ball inside...

Cade, Suggs, Mobley in that order.

I think a Cade/Suggs + Porter backcourt would be crazy. Then you add in Wood and Tate. Then you need to go draft size. No more playing 4 guards and wondering why you can't get a rebound.

I do hope they resign Olynyk, he's a great backup 4/5.

i'd agree.  i think mobley is going to be very good, but i think when things are fairly equal, you take a lead guard.  this could be a very fun combination next year:

cunningham or suggs

porter

tate

olnyk 

wood

and i think my dream of their drafting davion mitchell is probably out the window.  don't think he'll be lasting until the portland pick.

i suppose they could still get him if they don't get in the top 4 and get miami's pick, but my dream was to get him + a top 4 pick.

Cade

suggs

Mobley in that order. I really like Mobley. I like the other two guys a lot as well. Good draft. I would bet, that even picking at the back end of this first round, they would have the opportunity to draft a couple guys that would be contributors on a really good team. 
sorting through and finding that is the crapshoot, obviously. 

See what happens when you play two proper bigs? You outrebound the other team. Took Silas and Co this long to figure it out. But need to get back their regularly scheduled program of losing (even if it is to the fucking Mavs).

About to say, let's see how Silas blows this one. 16-9 so far in the 4th.

really need to drop this one for obvious reasons but also because the mavs are on the heels of portland and that pick is ours too (assuming portland makes the playoffs)

Somehow I missed that Ben McLemore is playing for the Lakers. What an epic fail upwards.

Yeah they cut him when they signed Armoni Brooks.

81 points allowed in the 1H tonight against the Suns. I think we are going on another 20 game bender.

t-wolves beat the heat.  huge!

On two levels!  

Trending in the right direction.

Worst record in the league, Miami now in the playin games. Really need Indiana to push Charlotte out of the 7/8 game.

Injuries are going to do that.

Was hoping for another L tonight but looks like the rockets want to try everything they can of getting out of the worst record. Hopefully they have some extra shitty basketball left in the tank tonight. 

fucking morons.  beat miami tomorrow if winning a game is so important to you.

I feel like if we were tied for the worst record we would go out and blow out Minnesota like morons. I’m not even confident we would make the right pick with this FO of geniuses 

Doesn’t matter. Optimal is 3rd worst record in league. Same odds as top 4, Shittier pick to OKC if we have to convey it bc we lose at the lotto. 

The Rockets won because they didn't play their tank commander. 

1-3 makes no difference. Armoni Brooks looks like a decent backup 2/3 option.

Edited by HtownHorn

Remaining schedule is brutal.

I'm afraid some teams toward the end of the year will be resting up their dudes for the playoffs and increasing our chances of winning.

Tank Commander taking over.

 

Detroit won tonight. Big time for the Rockets and staying at 1-3.
