I think there's going to be some nice talent at 20 (some mocks even have Rivers slipping that far).

If we're not a top 4 seed, I'm not sure I care about a game or two in the standings. Clippers, Lakers, Spurs...we play up to our abilities, we can beat any of them; we play like we played in Feb & March, we don't make it out of the first round regardless of opponent.

Isnt it the other way around? If we had the 21st pick it would go to Houston. Anything 20 or below we keep.
