2025-2026 Tank Race Prediction Contest and Current Results Thread

At absolute worst we have to split the games 1-1. We have to.

I think we're going to have to sit both Key and Lauri to secure the loss against them now.

Kings have won 3 straight vs playoff teams.

This is wonderful news

Tanking guide for the FO and Hardy:
- In a game we are >+10 - Lauri gets to play
- In a game we are < + 10 - Sit Lauri
- In a game we are 0 to negative odds - Sit Keyonte and Lauri
- In a game we are <-3.5 - Sit Keyonte, Lauri, and Hardy has to sit whoever is hot that day in the 4th quarter

Good news is that Sacramento doesn't historically tank on purpose, so they might not be sitting their guys as early as other teams.

I forgot that the Kings are the absolute dumbest franchise... so when they are sitting in a great position to do the right thing they have an unlikely 3 game win streak. We have two head to head games. We will see how it goes tonight but the Kings may end up saving us a spot. They also have the easiest schedule rest of the year.

I think the Kings/Pels have an outside shot at passing us.
Hornets likely pull past us but its not a guarantee.
Dallas likely out tanks us.

7th spot is still my prediction.

See my post I just made. I am just banking on their incompetence to get them back in this. Not sure we see Sabonis and Keegan is out again... I could also see them just buying out DeRozan at some point.

If we lose both games to them I think its possible.
