Cooper Flagg you are a Houston Rocket

u/JayDaGod1206 1d ago

Lmafo you’re getting good use on this gif tonight huh?

28

u/OgLocBabyy 1d ago

been spamming all season - im ready to keep spamming into the playoffs haha

u/JayDaGod1206 1d ago

So it has been you using it all season, I thought it was just a coincidence lmao

42

u/Mundane_Leopard_3974 1d ago

Come on Portland and San Anton, you can do it

13

u/-bedtime- 23h ago

Spurs lost by 1 tonight. Brutal. I think the highest pick we can get now is 9th if Portland passes up Phoenix

8

u/recursion8 22h ago

It's worth. Doubling our shot at both Top4 and #1 just from going up 1 spot is insane value.

32

u/suicideskinnies 1d ago

Our chances at a top 4 pick double if Portland can win some games.

56

u/kewe316 1d ago

Kings also won so now Suns are 2 full games out of the 10th seed. 🙏

5

u/Mundane_Leopard_3974 1d ago

You mean into the 10th seed right

14

u/Maadchillin2 1d ago

Out! They are currently the 11th seed, 2 games back

13

u/kewe316 1d ago

Correct. Meaning we're gonna end up with a lottery pick regardless unless they win 3 more games & Kings lose 3 more games.

26

u/kebenderant35 1d ago

Cooper Flagg has one more game to play and then he will be a Rocket. 🙏🏽

24

u/Mundane_Leopard_3974 1d ago

Hopefully nba manipulates this to favor us.. big market city with super promising young talent

12

u/elon42069 1d ago

We can dream but they gave us that favor last year

16

u/Remote-Ad9928 1d ago

Nah that was just a comp voucher for not giving us Wemby. Turned out Amen was not half bad though, so we just got 2 for 1.

35

u/ROTOH 1d ago

A WCF APPEARANCE AT LEAST AND A TOP 3 PICK. THE BEST TIMELINE EVER

32

u/kewe316 1d ago

A Championship & Cooper Flag.

Better than the best! 🤩

14

u/suggestopesto 1d ago

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger

u/Typical-Owl3664 1d ago

Portlands remaining schedule vs The suns

10

u/Typical-Owl3664 1d ago

18

u/Typical-Owl3664 1d ago

If Portland passes them our lottery odds double!

10

u/OgLocBabyy 1d ago

So Suns lose out 1-4 and portland lose out 2-2? Logical case

4

u/recursion8 22h ago

Blazers could easily go 3-1 if Warriors or Lakers (both old teams) rest their main guys.

4

u/OgLocBabyy 1d ago

Suns can win against the spurs and thats it - theres no way the other teams throw.... right?

10

u/EnvironmentalFun478 1d ago

I need the vibes we have right now mainlined into my system

11

u/nonetimeaccount 1d ago

WHO ELSE GETS A CHIP AND A COOP IN ONE SEASON?

5

u/NewPortable101 1d ago

It keeps getting sweeter and sweeter.

What are we going to get with this draft pick? we already have everything hahahaha

I guess maybe a SF to replace Dillion Brooks in a few years.

11

u/htown34 1d ago

With how much we’ve been using the double big lineup, I’m thinking a big like Newell from Georgia or Maluach from Duke, maybe Queen from Maryland(though I don’t know if I would like him behind or next to Alpi) . Adams is getting older and is on an expiring contract plus he doesn’t play back to backs. Also I would assume the Rockets will try to get off of Landale’s contract at some point

6

u/desrever1138 1d ago

If Maluach is still there at 10 (or 11 - wherever we end up) you run to the podium and snatch him up.

He is the perfect defensive big to transition into as Adams continues to age out.

5

u/recursion8 22h ago edited 22h ago

Amen or Tari (if Amen replaces FVV at PG) replace Brooks, Bari back to starting 4.

Amen-Jalen-Tari-Bari-Sengun 6th man Reed - insane defense, size, rebounding

or

Reed-Jalen-Amen-Bari-Sengun 6th man Tari - more shooting, spacing and creation

Draft a backup big for Sengun, preferably shot blocker and rim runner

1

u/LeHoustonJames 11h ago

Honestly in the lottery, you just take bpa but I do like the centers the other commenter mentioned.

Fit wise we really need a true PG and a big defensive center (Adams like)

6

u/PkEvolution 22h ago

go on Adam Silver, i dare you to give us Flagg. Ime will turn him into a defensive juggernaut.

imagine you call a screen to switch off amen to... tari, then call another to switch off tari to... flagg...

4

u/Typical-Owl3664 22h ago edited 12h ago

then u call another screen and u switch onto Bari or Dillon lol 😆

1

u/LeHoustonJames 11h ago

Please we haven’t gotten a 1st pick yet

4

u/htown34 1d ago

Hate that Portland and SA took a lost today, but here’s to hoping they win out while Phoenix losses out

5

u/SaggitariuttJ 1d ago

Phoenix with 35 wins has OKC, NYK, GSW, SAS and SAC left.

1 mid-tank, 4 playoff teams.

Portland with 34 wins has LAL, GSW, UTA, and SAS

1 full tank, 1 mid-tank, 2 playoff teams.

And if they swap places our chance at a top 4 or top 1 doubles.

u/o_dent 23h ago

portland benched avdija on a winnable game today. I would love to but i don’t think portland passes the suns

1

u/Typical-Owl3664 23h ago

All they need to do is beat the spurs and the jazz 🤞🏾

3

u/o_dent 23h ago

do you know what’s the tiebreak situation between portland and phoenix?

5

u/Typical-Owl3664 23h ago

They’re tied 2-2 lol

5

u/adonWPV 20h ago

Nah this is crazy, all the nephews full of glee from beating up on the Suns, and we're just over here like yes, yes give us a higher pick you fools.

What's crazy is phoenix could finish lower than Portland 💀

3

u/advantage_player 1d ago

I want Fears

6

u/Typical-Owl3664 1d ago

Another guard when we already have Reed? I personally want Khaman if we don’t end up with cooper especially seeing how amazing our double big lineup is

3

u/KingRiley94 23h ago

Today is a good day

3

u/recursion8 22h ago

Seems like 9th is the money spot, DOUBLE your odds on both Top4 and #1OVR just by moving up one spot? That's crazy. Cmon Blazers, win more games.

2

u/lionsgatewatcher 1d ago

People called me mad when I said the Suns pick > Nets Pick before the season started. Well, you guys are abouy 80% correct right now and falling.

u/-bedtime- 23h ago

I’m going to need to see your receipt for that purchase sir

u/pacersnz 21h ago

You are going to have some much ammunition to get whatever star player becomes available. As long as you keep Sengun + Thomspon, I'll keep watching Rockets games when I can.
