2025-2026 Tank Race Prediction Contest and Current Results Thread

[Handlogten's Heros]

It was brief basically the same thing you said above. You said less than 10 games as a Maverick on December 4th. It is just semantics at this point tho.

Look as far as "predictions" go me saying 10 and it being 13 and the Mavs being terrible in part because of all the things I mentioned throughout multiple posts... Its okay to go ahead and give me the win here. I clearly baked AD availability into my thoughts throughout almost every exchange.

If we believe Lauri is the same health risk as AD we should trade him right away.

Nobody believes that. You are very good at putting words into people’s mouth.

The variety of injuries AD gets is truly wild

And they traded away Luka for him

Look, AD is injury prone and everyone knew he was likely to get injured again, but a finger injury is not something that is predictable at all. You're other body injuries dont increase your ability to randomly tear a ligament in your finger.

AD had one of the most extreme growth spurts of all time in high school. Is it out of the question that something like that could permanently affect your body – ligaments, bones, muscles – and make them slightly more susceptible to injury?

Come on man.
What matters in the discussion is that HH was saying dallas is a problem for our tank. A big reason being that AD would get injured or traded.
AD got injured and they are definitely a problem for our tank. HH was right.

If we believe Lauri is the same health risk as AD we should trade him right away.

And if someone said that our tank is not in any trouble because Lauri was going to miss most of the season due to injury and then Lauri missed most of the season due to injury and our tank wasn't in trouble then that someone would receiver their flowers.
HH was simply correct.

Nobody believes that. You are very good at putting words into people’s mouth.

But you did argue that Lauri and AD were an equivalence when it comes to predicting tanking. And you tried to frame AD and Lauri’s injury situation as similar due to GP.

Black swan my friend.

I take it back, @Handlogten's Heros cannot be validated about AD injury concerns until he can prove that he predicted the exact ligament beforehand.

Now with AD getting injured the chances that Dallas goes full-speed into the tank are very, very high. Washington seems to have already entered it as by trading two key veterans. And the Jazz are soon having two more games against Dallas: if they win them Dallas is likely going to clinch the place below Utah for good.
As I said before, the current string of games against the tankers will be crucial for the Jazz. The only great hope is that the Pelicans will right the ship and bypass Utah...
