    I guess I'm in the minority here: don't care much at this point. Although I do like when we win games. :)

    I'm conflicted. While I do like that we win games, I can't help but support our team win games.

    I was discussing this with @Weezy in the GD thread. IDK anymore. Either way, our schedule is getting and we are winning more often; we may have a chance to win 27-30 games.

    The games are so fun to watch (/sarcasm) I often find myself in Photoshop making gifs with the game playing in the background.

    I am getting a nice Luke collection going though lol

    I'm going to change my position and think of the pick as a great gift if we get it. :).

    A lighter tone? Great. Another DC vs. Marvel debate.

    I haven't looked into him yet. I'll get back to you. Isaac is another kid I like.

    Luckily having a Top 3 pick ensures the Lakers would get one of those first three (or Dennis Smith or Isaac etc.) but if the Lakers get pick #3 - or even #1/#2 - and aren't enamored with who might be there (or is there if we are talking during the actual draft), then I'm all on board with a trade.

    ^...hedging the possibility that one, or two, or all of them don't declare for the draft.

    I think purposely tanking is Bad Mojo for these kids now.. We may end up in the bottom 3 regardless, but we definitely should not be tanking..

    This is how I feel. I think we are seeing the effects of our previous bad seasons on these kids this season. Wins were such a big deal in the past that when we get one now we tend to let off the gas for a few games. That's the type of attitude that manifests itself during prolonged losing eras. They play a good game and do some good stuff and they just sit back and enjoy it. It also shows up during games when things start to turn bad. Rather than fight through it, they pack up and figure, "What's one more loss?" The sad part is that attitude probably cost us at least 3-4 games this season. We get those games back, we are a game or two out of the playoffs with our health returning. I mean, there is no reason why we shouldn't be fighting for the opportunity to get obliterated by the Warriors.
