The best part is that NEXT year they're likely to be just as bad.
I think they will be marginally better next year, but what do I know? theyve been worse than Ive expected each of the last two years.

Having a good team, fun to watch, competing for a top seed in the east while looking at a lottery pick with the best odds for #1 is something all NBA fans can't do. Definitely exciting ! And just for that Danny deserves recognition.

But don't rely on #1 pick too much, or you could be disapointed in the end...
yup

But it'd be nice to have top odds. And then the worst we could do is the 4th pick

A guaranteed top 4 pick would be great
I trust Danny Ainge

Curious why you think they'll be better. They'll probably lose Lopez. No draft picks coming in. A FA would have to be a real masochist to sign there.

I think Bojan is also gone in FA.

Im not going to stress about it. As the OP stated, this lead is becoming so large that I dont see how they dont finish with the worst record in the league. 5 wins is a very large gap to overcome when you consider they have only won 8 so far.

I'm going to say that I'm not gonna stress about it, but I'm sure I will. Ya know, because real life just isn't stressful enough.

Looks like Nets by 12 at the half and Anthony Davis may be injured.

Can't lose 'em all, I guess.

Eh, this Pelicans team sans Davis came back against the Nets barely a week ago to take the game in Brooklyn, so it's far from over.

24 pt lead now. I guess we got the wrong end of the 12 pt swing coming out of the half.

I second your latter point...still a bummer, though.

Looks like a Nets win tonight.

Good news is that Robert Covington hit two HUUUUGGGEEE threes and won the game for the 76ers vs the Blazers.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

[dang]! How bad is NO to get blown out so badly by the Nets! Anthony Davis should demand a trade.

Nets were just hot. One of those games. They went 15-30 on threes, despite being the third worst team by percentage, and an insane 32-35 from the free throw line. Even a broken clock and all that.

Trump becomes president. The nets win a game.

Coincidence?
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
