    I agree. If we split I'd be thrilled with that. As for the coin flip I hope if it came down to that it would be a televised event on TWC SportsNet similar to the coin flip in the movie Friday Night Lights.

    I would also be more than happy with a split. Any losses against teams we need to catch or stay at pace with are great. I don't care if we get the 1st pick or 5th pick, just want the pick, IMO there at at least 6 really good players that can make an impact right away.

    Philly won! Wow, only one game behind us. We need to lose both games with them, badly. Don't know how considering they are tank pros, but still we need to find a way.

    Maybe the players really are pissed at F.O. for the thing they did getting up to the cap that kept monies from being dispersed amongst them. (no clue whatsoever that is about .... 1st time had ever read anything like that) It IS sounding like the movie Major League. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Yep that is great stuff. Hope Scott doesn't see it, get ticked about being mocked and accused of tanking, and proceed to go on a win streak. Again.

    Only 1 game less in the win column with Philly having 16 to our 17 but they've currently got 3 more losses in more games played.....52 to our 49. Tanks in the bank.

    ^ Awesome. :)

    Update, 3/19:

    MIN @ NYK. Obviously, a win-win for us.
    UTA @ LAL. Right now, they are a better team. They won 8 of the last 10 and are surging. Are we going to bring... uh... our "best" game tonight?

    ^Utah wins. Philly will win vs Knicks and we'll inch closer to that 3rd spot.

    I'd be willing to bet anything Boogie doesn't play in those two games. We can only hope we bench Lin, Hill, and to be honest, Clarkson.

    This was probably posted in the thread but I'm too lazy to search.......in case it hasn't, bleacher report came out with a "Lakers Let It Tank" theme song. They should play this at every Laker home game. :D

    Great news on the Knicks/Wolves game tonight. We need more of those.

    Utah is playing the second of a back to back so hopefully we still get their A game.

    The Wolves are benching Rubio for tonight's game against NY. Are they going to tell the truth and list him as DNP-Tank Reasons, or just make something up?
