I was optimistic for 3 years and its yielded me misery. trying a new strategy out.

that said, I want to see him ruin Draymond Green. I can hear Reggie Miller now - WOW, we haven't seen Draymond benched his whole career - but the match up problems that Embiid presents are just too much for Coach Kerr.

A pick and pop/dive combination of embiid and Ingram would be absolutely lethal and basically undefendable.

It's possible to be optimistic yet realistic simultaneously.

I feel you but we're doing a lot better at tanking this year and we have the Kings pick odds.

Still think a meltdown is possible and every extra ball helps. Point is we're better positioned this year with having Kings option and finishing with worst record.
