The Tankers(9 teams): Suns, Hawks, Mavs, Magic, Kings, Grizzlies, Nets, Bulls, Knicks

No Man's land(2 teams): Lakers, Hornets

Playoff hopefuls (11 teams): Pistons, Jazz, Heat, Clippers, Pelicans, Nuggets, 76ers, Blazers, Thunder, Pacers, Bucks

Playoff locks (8 teams): Wizards, Timberwolves, Spurs, Cavs, Celtics, Raptors, Warriors, Rockets

Here's how are fellow tankers post all star break schedule breaks down:

Suns: 5 against fellow tankers, 1 no man's land game, 10 against playoff hopefuls, and 7 against playoff locks.

Hawks: 4 against fellow tankers, 2 no man's land games, 10 against playoff hopefuls, and 7 against playoff locks.

Mavs: 7 against fellow tankers, 3 no man's land games, 10 against playoff hopefuls, and 4 against playoff locks.

Magic: 9 against fellow tankers, 2 no man's land games, 8 against playoff hopefuls, and 6 against playoff locks.

Kings: 7 against fellow tankers, 2 no man's land games, 10 against playoff hopefuls, and 6 against playoff locks.

Knicks: 5 against fellow tankers, 2 no man's land games, 9 against playoff hopefuls, and 7 against playoff locks.

This is a good table to keep track of. Tomorrow's game against Memphis is so important.
Nice job Sauce - this needs to be a sticky or something that we can review any time we visit this site.

Unfortunately the only thing worth following at this point for this team. Of course we want to see our youngsters perform well but do we really want any wins? No

Sure, I’d much rather be in the position we were in the Nash/Amare ERA. I’d much rather be in the position we are now than in a position like the Hornets, Wizards etc.....teams stuck in no mans land. If you’re not a top tier team, lose as hard as possible. It’s the easiest and best way to pick up talent on a bargain deal.

It's frustrating, because a win or two could literally be the difference between the 1st and 8th spots. I don't want to drop 8 spots. But I don't want to lose on purpose, either. And, in a draft with so much hype, it's hard to believe that the Suns won't get the one OK player available and leave 4 HOF guys on the board.

There’s hype surrounding about 3-4 players and then a bunch of raw potential again. I don’t want to draft potential.
