only one way to end tanking. the two teams in the finals pick last in the 1st round. every other team gets equal odds in the lottery and every selection 1-28 is determined by the lottery. eliminates the incentive to lose. theres too many incentives to lose now. teams at the bottom trying to get the best odds, teams in the play-in spots who would rather be in the lottery, and teams who have traded away picks with protections that dont want them to convey.

That hot shooting Houston had to start the season vanished & their defense isn't what it was last year.
I knew they were frauds, I saw right through their hot start. Jabari Smith hasn’t taken that leap yet and they paid him all that money. Sengun is soft like Barney. Their issues has always been more than just not having a true point guard.

Our best play makers right now being IHart & probably JWill is a real goofy problem to have.

Wiggins & all the guards being unable to make any layups because they over fire all of them is also pretty goofy.

Should have never traded for KD. At this stage of his career he's a step slow on defense and barely makes a positive on offense

Should have just kept Dillion Brooks and added Cam Johnson in the offseason. That would have been more than enough
