    They have some very winnable games depending on how they approach this but it appears @ 6-4 the last 10 that they want to go out strong. So they have Orlando, Minni, Phoenix, Dallas X2 and Detroit. That's 6 games they can have a good chance at and the 2 @ Dallas (they already beat twice) and 1 @ Pheonix should be gimmies. I think our schedules are actually very comparable but they are playing harder.

    Minny realizing that they can probably out-tank us if we continue playing LeBron...

    Charlotte got a win today though at least...

    Washington with a costly loss yesterday to the lowly Bulls...and they got another guaranteed loss today to the Nuggets

    Really need memphis and new orleans to start winning games...Memphis with a surprise win over HOU so let's see if they can continue that.

    Luckily we play Washington and New Orleans...need to lsoe those games for sure

    It's time to shut Lebron down completely. Season is over now so let's go full tank mode.

    Yeah just mask it as “soreness” or just do what Memphis does and straight DNP coaches decision.

    1-7 on threes, 66% on FT’s. Empty stats. Very little effort on D.

    I’d say he’s doing his job just fine. (For the tank)

    Point being I don't want him getting injured again. Season is done, Lebron should be too. There's nothing to gain by him playing any further.

    Yeah I don’t see much point in LeBron playing either, I know he said he has 5 months off coming up, but he could easily get injured and this season is a wrap. Pull it back. As for the tank, we’re kind planted where we are right now at 10th, but at least we aren’t climbing, 5 losses a row, Charlotte just won 2 in a row, Orlando has won 4 in a row, so that’s good. NO, Washington and Memphis just keep on losing though, gaining no ground.

    but he may set all time records in the P & G.

    That's the only value I see, and I think it matters more to him than anyone else.

    Charlotte coming back from 18 down in the 4th on the scum was glorious.

    I’m fine with this win, I hate the Kings and I see from the box score Fox was awful. If we cause them to miss the playoffs, even better. We’re pretty locked in at 10 right now, the highest I see us getting us 11 and the lowest is 9th, so whatever.

    To some degree, I'm OK with it too. We neeed to make sure we lose to Washington, New orleans and Charlotte though. If we get any wins, it cannot be against any of thsoe 3 teams.

    I predicted we'd end 34-48...looks like we're on pace for that right now.

    I don’t know why they cut this clip so short, but I agree with Stephen A’s point, and Max agreed too when it was his turn. Why put LeBron into a meaningless game and let him close, why not let some of the G-Leaguers or young players we have get that moment? Luke is coaching for another job, he’s not trying to lose, that’s why you fire him a month ago at least, stupid to leave a lame duck coach not on the same page as the FO out there, what a mess
