You’re using a 6-game sample where we went 3-3 as evidence that we’ll miss the playoffs? That’s a pretty insignificant indicator in this league. Hell, the Lakers recently went 5-5 over a 10-game span, and it’s not like it diminishes their overall chances of winning it all this year. And Portland just went 2-2 over their last 4. Basketball is a game of runs, both in-game and over a span of several games... Also, wasn’t KP injured, or at least coming back from injury during that span? I’m not buying a small sample size as predicative of what we can accomplish over the rest of the season, especially not with the All-Star break giving us a chance to heal up and re-center ourselves. We’re going to the playoffs this year. Project your draft scenarios accordingly.
