I hate to say it because I've been pro playoffs since day one, but with the way the team is looking, I'd rather draw the 9th pick in the draft.
The loss to Miami was VERY discouraging. Tonight's loss not so much because we were playing a vastly superior team, but there's no doubt if we make the playoffs we get bounced in the 1st round.
It just seems the post all-star break magic we had going is starting to wear out. Also, getting Isaiah was a big part of our post all star break success and he still isn't 100 percent.
The game tomorrow vs Charlotte should be very telling
Also, I feel like having the 9th pick is a MUCH more tempting form of trade bait than getting our asses kicked by Atlanta and drawing number 15.
