Definitely a “must lose” if there ever was one today against the Pelicans.
The NOP loss was monster. Split the Was games. Philly is hit and miss but now that Embiid is settled I can see them actually winning a couple games. Toronto is solid but weird.This 5 game stretch of NOP, DET, WAS, TOR, PHI is a crazy difficult tanking stretch. We'll se how far DA is willing to go as far as sitting guys.
It would be a pretty big achievement if we can end up 1-4 in this stretch.
It does seem like it's going to go down to the wire for 3rd between us and NOP.The NOP loss was monster. Split the Was games. Philly is hit and miss but now that Embiid is settled I can see them actually winning a couple games. Toronto is solid but weird.
The Hornets are poopy trash. Lamelo is already somewhat unserious but he can take unserious to new levels now that there are absolutely zero stakes. That teams is really bad... like worst in the league right now. I see the Jazz JV team blowing them out.
I think we can hold strong at #3 if NOP can win an unexpected one in the next little while that would be great.
I think they kinda need the "info" and may goose Zion's value for a trade if they want out of that business. I can see them playing it pretty straight especially if they were to separate from us a little... I doubt that we are able to separate much tho as our schedule is light and theirs is pretty tough the next little while.It does seem like it's going to go down to the wire for 3rd between us and NOP.
It was good to see NOP play all of their healthy guys against us last night. It appears they aren't going to be as gross as we have been to get to 3rd. On the other hand even with Zion and CJ they barely beat the group of guys we threw out there last night...

I think we both have like 4-5 wins left on the schedule. Going 0-3 against them was huge.
Hardy should be coach of the year for pushing the right buttons.We currently have 0 wins against the bottom 5 teams. Of course we haven't played Toronto or Washington yet, but it's still impressive tanking.
