    The Wolves win, the C Bags win. We lose, not a bad day.

    Oops I mean, we lost another lead coming into the 4th quarter. This team just doesn't know how to close at all.

    Tanking, is causing me issues. The pick is my precious............

    That was too damn close. These East teams don't take us seriously enough as they can screw around and still make the playoffs in yhay conference. We need more games against the West, I hope we still have a ton.

    33 games left; 13 against the East. It's going to be like this during the 2nd half of the season...

    It was too close for my liking. I know it's cool to pretend like we try and stay competitive, but damn.

    Hopefully Orlando
    Here's to hoping Orlando actually hires a replacement for Vaughn. Skiles or Mark Jackson would at least demand they put forth an effort. But if they go promote within, they're fully intrenched into the tanking.

    Let's take a minute to thank Phil for actually grabbing some guys on 10 day contracts who want to compete and incidentally, win. They need to win as much as possible before the shelf Melo.

    Good to hear from you JSM, we miss your comments. Even if now-a-days there isnt much to talk about.

    Definitely worried about Orlando. They really know how to TANK, and it's not looking like they'll be hiring a new coach until after the season. They're going to try and tank it up. Luckily, the Sixers and Knicks are trying to win for some odd reason, and Minnesota just got Rubio and Martin back, so they're going to try and get some wins as well....we just need to continue having these 9 or 10 game losing streaks, and then having a win in between those streaks...preferably against a contender like the Clippers or Cavs, you know, teams that we just cannot stand.

    I will be at the game on Friday and I am expecting an Orlando win. Everyone here knew Vaughn's days were numbered and the team played like it. We will see if they tank it up but I know plenty of fans who have had enough of all the losing.

    I'll be elsewhere in Orlando, but I hope you have a good time. Amway Center is a great venue.

    Time for a program of P.I.D's (performance inhibiting drugs) for all our players.These games are just too winnable. Victory you are our nemesis in a season where every win is by definition the most pyrrhic of pyrrhic. We need to put the team on the grass-fed doughnut diet as developed by Professor Charles Barkley and Charlie Sheen needs to be our pharmacist. More crank in order to tank.

    Epic game today. We witnessed some of the worst basketball in the NBA. But we managed to out-tank Orlando by not rebounding, committing turnovers and missing layups. Great job! :inlove:

    Boozer needs to be glued to the bench in the future. So does Duke, if he gets hot. Who else needs to sit in your opinion?

    This ONE loss could save our pick in the end, we needed it so bad. Thank goodness Clarkson missed that layup and that Wes Johnson is Wes Johnson.

    Wes was so bad... uh... I mean "good" in crunch time. Kelly also needs to sit when he gets hot. He's difficult to guard when his shot is on.

    I agree. I was actually shouting at the TV tonight. This was HUGE.

    gives us some more breathing room. The TANK is strong! Keep the wheels turning baby!

    This is turning into a fine art with looking like we really are trying to win, taking the other teams into overtimes and all. [​IMG] [​IMG]
