If we catch Portland , our odds of keeping the pick go from 45.8% to 63.9%

1. Unlikely given the Blazers schedule though it’s only 14th toughest now (Wizards and Hornets game could be winnable but the other games…probably not)

2. Portland are actively tanking to catch up to Charlotte and keep us at bay.

   Anfernee, Ayton and Thybulle should all be playing.

   I’m even suspicious of this Jerami Grant injury. he should be back by now.

3. you’re delusional if you think Portland has 4 wins in the remaining 9 games to catch up to us

4. We are firmly 6 unfortunately.

5. Raptor season is over.

6. RJ and Quickley are legit coming back prolly by next game and on top of that portland is actively tanking, we either stay at 6 or somehow bringing back RJ and Quickley makes us win a game or two and we drop to 7 (worst case)

7. Have the Portland Trail Blazers formally appointed Dalano Banton as their official Tank Commander? He gets tons of minutes and takes tons of shots.

   And this isn’t throwing shade at D-Rex one bit. At first he had eye-popping inefficiency, but lately he’s had really high scoring AND efficient games. I’m loving seeing him do well, and I’m wondering if he should be with us in France. 

   But it seems weird to me that he’s getting so much more usage than a young lottery pick like Scoot Henderson. Only conclusion I can reach is that Portland has handed Banton the keys to the tank.

   Keep in mind I’ve only been looking at Trail Blazer box scores since I realized they have Banton.

8. Anyone rooting for more losses is a loser. I don’t care what the draft implications are. You’re a loser if you want your team to lose

9. We aren’t likely to win another game. Maybe against the Wiz next Sunday but Portland aren’t likely to win 4 more games than us either. They have no incentive to win either.

10. Not worth thinking about. Portland isn’t winning 5 games.

11. Dalano is the double agent. Get Portland more wins bro.

12. Was the pizza party worth it fellas?

13. I think we have another 1 or 2 wins left in us so I don’t think there’s any chance we finish as bad as Portland
