Just a note. For all those critics who said I was stupid to think that GS wouldn't make the playoffs. Just look at the standings . They are ranked 12 in the West. Now I know it is early but my point was that GS was/is not a sure thing due to the West being competitive and the history of injuries that key players have, and their lack of depth. Thanks to OKC and Westbrook for beating them last night.

I would laugh my *** off if they missed the playoffs and then won the number one pick.

I think everyone said that they may end up having a disappointing season. Everyone (with a brain) just said: They won't suck because they're bad, they could though because they're going full Derrick Rose. And right now they're losing close games while being incomplete. There's statistics gurus who found out that Steph Curry's crunchtime and 4th quarter efficiency is bad and they explain it with his game that doesn't translate in the fourth quarter because that's when some teams get their **** together on the defensive end in the regular season.

The good thing about them struggling early is that 7 teams have already gotten off to nice starts. If they compete for a 6-8 spot in the West, that pick will likely be in the 20-23 range. Could very well end up with the 8th seed in the WC having a better record than the 3-8 seeds in the EC. SO a wide spread: GS misses the playoffs and the Jazz get perhaps the 14th pick. GS barely makes the playoffs and that pick slides all the way to #21.
 
As I've said, tank is tenuous. Especially now that we'll have Burke and presumably be healthy. We suck, but we don't suck nearly as bad as everyone thinks and will win some games over the course of the season, unfortunately. All in the bounce of the ping-pong balls.

I still fear we end up around 5th, I see Sacramento finishing below us in the West. And there are 3-5 EC teams that are truly terrible and could easily start tanking badly once trades are made.
