2025-2026 Tank Race Prediction Contest and Current Results Thread

[NUMBERICA]

The team ahead of us in the standings that is most likely to overtake us is Milwaukee. They have only won 3 games without Giannis all year and with NOP being so terrible they actually have a huge benefit of losing games. There is already national NBA talk about how they should shut Giannis down for the rest of the season.

The Jazz currently have won 3 less games than them, so if they maintain their win percentage without Giannis for the rest of the year they will only win 8 more games which means we can only win 10 more games to stay ahead of them.

Here’s praying Giannis and the Bucks are both totally irrational for just a little bit longer and he comes back before inevitably traded this offseason.

This is good for the team but is so bad for the league that the NBA should probably blackball Danny Ainge from the sport.

What is your obsession with blackballing people from the sport for tanking?

They were terrible, but not tragic without him. I think so long as the FO doesn't put the thumb on the scale that Rivers will make enough chicken salad to keep them above us... but they are a threat. Rivers is only good at one thing... coaching shorthanded teams lol.

That seems high, I would take the under.

I'm not 100% sure Lauri plays 16 more games this season.
