We need to make it so that next shot wins the game. And keep doing it until they make the next shot.

you're allowed. It's called "Being a fan"


Saying that tankers are not fans in just plain wrong. (I assume that is what you are saying because he said he wish he could enjoy this as in if we weren't tanking this year, and you saying its called "being a fan" implying that he is not a true fan.)

It is not like every season we chant tank, it is just we understand that a W here means absolutely nothing in retrospect, and every loss helps our chances secure a higher pick. Sure, outside Anthony Davis, their is no real sure fire star, but you can't deny that our losses = higher % and higher % means we get to choose out of a list of prospects. That is all we want. I am pretty sure most of us are cheering playoffs next year (I could be wrong).

We all want what is best for the future of this team, and at this time it is not winning. That is a sad reality of this game. We NEED to lose right now, I don't understand why this is such a hard concept for people.

We pro-tankers are just as much fans as you guys, we just have a different perspective on what is best for this team (and we also happen to be right).

So yes, I am happy that DD is having a great game, heck, you could even say I don't care that our second and 3rd leading scorers are 10 day contracts. But this all could be accomplished WHILE LOSING.


Nah, not saying he isnt a fan, just that when its obvious they're playing well and will likely win, you may as well try to enjoy it

He has. Honestly, look at Washington or Detroit or New Jersey and don't tell me they don't have better talent than us?

The problem is that while those other bad teams are phoning it in now, Casey has this group still working. It's the coach's fault we're winning! :lol:


Someone needs to take Casey out. Then bring back Triano for the last week.

THAT IS HOW YOU DO IT!!

I would much rather a buzzer beating loss than a blowout win at this point.

EDIT lol also realized they won but still stick to my opinion.

No, I really don't, because tanking for a chance at a higher draft-slot and a better chance at a the #1 pick is just the reality of this league. And like I said, I'm not upset at this team or the players. The Hawks over-looked this one and slept-walked through it, that's who deserves scorn.

Anyway, I suppose I've just been a fan of this team long enough, that cheap wins like this don't mean anything to me anymore.


Fair enough
