So you're contending that even though with 20 games left we will most likely be 15 games below .500, 14 if we're lucky that we will have a good shot at ending up at .500? You think this team is going to win at .750 over 20 games? Look back three games in the schedule and see who we lost to. We will drop most of the games against your so called "flawed playin teams", we will likely drop all of the games against the teams you designated as "good opponents that might suck" and we're going to drop games to those "tanking teams" too... just watch, it will happen. Also, you list the Wizards as a tanking team despite the fact that they're a half a game out of the play in and three games better than us.
The fact is that the next twelve games are against teams that have better records than we do and even though there are so many in here that for some reason think this is the best roster we've had all season, it's not. People are basing that off of two games against teams that pissed away big leads against us and should have beaten us. I love the effort and hustle I'm seeing, I would love to see us win every game for the rest of the season because I actually think that having all of our future picks available to trade is more valuable than where we are likely to end up in the lottery should we miss the playoffs and retain our picks. Us making the playoffs and getting all of our future picks back just isn't going to happen though.
So after we drop almost all of the next 12 games and we're more than 20 games below .500, it would probably behoove us to rest our vets and get Ant run with guys like Keon, CJ, Trendon, GB3, Hughes, Dido, DSJ and even Keljin. We get to evaluate these guys to see who we want to move forward with and at that point we also get to drop games because at that point that should be the goal of everyone in the organization above Chauncey. The guys from Chauncey on down through Keljin should be concentrated on developing players, the system and competing in the games but orders should be coming down from above to keep our vets out of the games "so they can stay healthy".
