2024-2025 Tank Race

[HermanG]

If Minny falling down ( which may happen) as there will be some reefs soon in the locker room ( specially if Rudy get 15 rebounds per game and see the ball 3 times in 44 minutes...), we may have golden picks this year. Hope we remain bottom 3 and Minny pick could ended 10-12.

Rudy has a grand total of 13 FGA in their last 3 losses. That is less than his total offensive rebounds (15).

He is not gonna be quiet about his lack of touches for long if they keep losing. Could already be vocal about it in the locker room.

Alvarado is out for a while still. Herb I believe is close but maybe a week away. I guess what I am saying is that team is already pretty mid without Zion. Ingram gets an ankle or a knee and they won't have to ask all those guys to sit as they will suck already. Trey/Ingram/33 yo CJ is tough to bank on being healthy over any kind of long term.

This what they call "the organic tank"?

We may need to forget Washington. They are looking more and more anemic. I think #1 lottery odds are not in play for anyone else.

They have the MJ and Scottie of tanking in poole and Kuzma. We ain’t catching them.

At least from the box score they are both playing pretty good right now. Even their young guys are probably playing better than expectation, and they are still losing.

You should watch a WAS game. The box-score doesn't tell what your eyes tell. Poole and Kuzma both have that unique skills of being able to have good numbers themselves while making everybody around them appear super bad.

No thanks.

Just kidding, and I've seen enough to know what you are talking about.

The only hope I'm seeing for catching up to the Wizards is that they have the third easiest remaining strength of schedule and we have the 5th hardest.

They don’t. Totally hopeless team this year.

Their young guys look decent though.

Interesting that we are able to be the 5th hardest when we can’t play ourselves.

Also, something I randomly noticed is that we play POR 4 times. POR is unironically a matchup nightmare for us because they pick up full court and put pressure on the ball. We all know what happened in the preseason…If any team really wants to beat us they can just apply ball pressure. For POR that is their default way of playing.
