2022-23 Houston Rockets Thread - One More Season of Suckage

Wow. The Wizards can barely field a team today. We’re definitely winning this game.

If we end up tied with SA, what’s the tiebreaker?

Lmao. What a disaster.

I believe we’ve won more games head to head so they’ll be 2 and we’re 3.

The only way to guarantee tanking is to sit guys. Porter was the only key player that sat today. Green, Segun, Smith, Eason were all north of 24 minutes. 

They gave it the college try with Boban, Nix and Kaminsky, but the Wizards were worse than even that rotation. 

I'm not going to blame Silas for this shit. It's Stone's decision to sit or play guys.

Lulz. Spurs beating Dallas 33-9 in 1st quarter.

Season series is tied 2-2

Well in the west standings last night after the spurs lost and we had identical records it showed us second to last and the spurs last so they hold some tie breaker I believe.

SI says Spurs have the tiebreaker.

For the draft, for teams tied they flip a coin for who gets the higher position. For lottery teams, you split the ping pong balls evenly and then flip a coin for who gets the odd remainder and better overall position. So, if SA wins and we end up tied, there is a coin flip for who is 2 and who is 3 but that would just affect the back end (ie worst pick being 6th or 7th) as the lottery odds would remain the same is my understanding.

[TonyTexas 10504]

I think Genghis is correct. 

[billfromlaketravis 11445]

How are the Pistons so bad? Yes I know Cunningham missed the entire season, but you should be able to win more more than 17 games with Ivey, Wiseman, Bojan, and Alec Burks. 

It feels like they'll get Cunningham back and draft Victor and they're a playoff team in 2024.

So let's say we draft second and Scoot is the pick. What happens with Porter? They have so much cap space, you could talk me into Porter as the 6th man. Would he be cool with that? I don't think he has much of a choice. 

[Rockethorn1978 6072]

Hopefully they trade him. Brandon miller has jumped scoot in most mock drafts. I think if Houston isn’t #1 you just take best player regardless of position.

[HtownHorn 14663]

If the Harden rumors are true, Scoot makes no sense at all.

Hire the ex Celtics coach. He can get his freak on all over town

Yeah it looks like Miller is going to stay clear on charges. I’m good with him as the Victor consolation prize.

^ shouldn’t this be the universal rule in NBA drafting for all teams? Every bad ass you can get means impact and/or trade value.
