Right now we are 6-12. We all know that sucks and if we want to make the playoffs we absolutely have to start winning and winning now. That being said, right now the 8th playoff seed is currently Phoenix with an 8-9 record. That's only a difference of 3 games on the loss column, the only one that really counts. Even though we have sucked other teams in the West have not played up to expectations either. If we start playing well together we could soon find ourselves back in the playoff picture. That's not so bad and the win vs. the Lakers felt like we are finally connecting, maybe we can start putting some wins together and make a run. In other words, the sky is not falling yet (and hopefully won't at all).
the win tonight makes up for the bad losses we had earlier in the season. However, the team has to keep working hard. If they do, I see no reason why we won't be a 6th to 8th seed.
We don't want the 6th to 8th seed. If we are not a championship contending team, we need to rebuild. The sooner the better...
what do you propose? tanking this early? are you aware that players lose trade value when you lose too many games? why not trying to fix the team via trades, specially knwing there are tons of assets to get trades done? How is it more guarantee of championship tanking ? is it 100% sure that' you'll get a top3 pick? is it 100% sure that such high pick won't be a bust or an underachiever (a good player, or even a star, but nothing else...and that after several seasons of NBA experience)?
