    We're a lock for the 3rd worst record, with Minnesota getting KG back. Hopefully we can slip past the Knicks or 76ers.

    May the force be with us ....... even if we're playing the C Bags? Don't let our hatred cloud our judgement here. Keep feeding Rob [​IMG]

    Oh man...I don't think I can give this freebie out. :D If I were to want just one this season, it will be against THIS opponent. Afterwards, let the chips fall where they may.

    I'm not sure subbing in Boozer is a tanking move...he's better than Black on Offense that's for sure. Defensively it's going to be bad though, really bad.

    Also if we are looking to build for the future Kelly should get the minutes at the 4 spot, not Boozer.

    Kelly at 3 has everbody wondering WTF is he doing-tanking is the only logical answer.

    Tanking isn't the logical answer.

    MDA didn't get that excuse when he played players out of position.

    Byron probably thinks Kelly is good at the 3, just like MDA thought Johnson at the PF or Blake at the 2 was a good idea.

    Bad coaches make bad decisions.

    Trust me, when we retool this roster with more talent, and he's mismanaging players, running sets with no spacing, the rotations are horrible, I think then people will understand how awful he is; there will no no excuse in the world that will justify the crap he's throwing out there.

    No screw it, play them hard then lose at the end. We are so desperately NEEDING a high pick and protection from the possibility with our luck of late, 2 other teams jumping over us at the 4 spot and losing this pick to the "steenking" Sixers.

    On another note, WTF with the quote of what I said originally, having asterisks for C-Bags? That's the default setting here, I typed C e l t i c s without the spaces and you get that. That's whack!!

    The Magic just beat PHI, which imo is great. We aren't going to out tank Philly but we need to keep as far a distance between us and ORL as possible. Good night so far.

    Orlando is not catching us, no worries. We need to out-tank Minny though.

    Not a good night for the tank. But I do hate the C Bags.

    Byron wanted this one bad. Benched JC, Kelly, Black...played guys who won't be here next year. As nice as it is to beat the C Bags, if one game is the difference between 4th and 3rd....

    This makes it that much more important to lose both games to the Wolves, and ideally find a way to lose at least once to Philly as well. A lot of work to be done and the schedule is getting way too easy.

    Man, whenever I see that Wolves schedule I get worried. It's brutal. With a 2 game lead in the win column the Lakers margin for error is non-existant. Any more wins and they risk heading into the lottery with a nearly 20% chance of losing the pick.

    For one of the most important parts of the rebuild that's simply way too high of a risk.

    Exactly. F*** the tank just for one night. This tanking already makes me sick. Being swept during the only two games we'll see against the C Bags all season... That'd make it just that much worse.

    In the end, this one game is unlikely to be the difference maker. Back to your regularly programmed tanking now.
