The Tank 11'12 thread.

For all the flak we're getting, I don't see people commenting on the absurdity of the Raptors tank. 3 starters are on 10 day contracts.

3? I only see two - Uzoh and Anderson.

Maybe that one guy can write a bitter and ignorant article on that...

Did he criticize the Spurs for starting a dynasty by tanking?

Post #1465 » by **FNQ** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 2:53 am

Funniest part is that he complained most about how public Lacob and co are about it... Yet if there werent angry, afraid-of-change people like him, Lacob wouldnt need to say anything.

Tommarows another day and Minnys @ Detriot, Love-Rubio-Ridnour are all out

Not to mention Minny has not won a game in April in FOUR years. The last win was against our very own Warriors.

ALSO MINNY HAS LOST 11 IN A ROW WOWZA and they dnt even own there own pick. That CP3 trade looking better now then it did midseason.

Two potential top 10 picks for NOH.

Robinson and Kendall Marshall I would pick.

Marshall
Gordon
Ariza
Robinson
Kaman

Not good day for the tank job. All the team ahead of us lost.

We'll fix that. They'll get another April win from us.

"The Warriors started four rookies -- Thompson, Jenkins, Tyler and Gladness -- for the second consecutive game. The last NBA team to do that was Denver in 2002-03 when it started Junior Harrington, Nene, Vincent Yarbrough and former Warrior Nokoloz Tskitishvili."

On a unrelated topic - watched that movie last night Blitz (Jason Stathan) - nice pommie cop movie, gory, lots of swearing and completely inappropriate stuff.

Bit like our tank job at present.................

Every year there are high-volume "scorers" who can be found in the draft. Ellis just doesn't have nearly as much value as some Warriors fans thought.

I'm not a big Monta fan, but I find it really hard to believe that all those guys will be as good as Monta, flaws and all. Each draft only has a handful of good players. Monta's advanced stats have been terrible since We Believe Pt. 2, but I'm still not buying it.

At 40 mpg with LeBron-level usage rate, it's not absurd to suggest most SG's in the league (including all those listed) can score 20-25 ppg...

I agree...I think you could take most guards in the league...and if you give them that kind of minutes on a bad team...have them toss up 22 shots a game....they could easily be in the 20-25 point average. Most guards can do that...very few can take the game over and WIN it for you down the stretch.

Was checking out other team boards and seems like everyone is hoping for us to finish 6/7 then lose coin flip so we drop to 7 and then some other team jumps to top3 so we lose our pick. Justice.

They are jealous of our tank. What's funny is that they would do exactly the same thing but are criticizing us.

If we lose out we can get the 7th seed even if every other team wins the rest of their games...because the Raps and Nets play each other to end the season

Someone HAS to win that game...I think.

TB · Post #1479 » by TB » Thu Apr 19, 2012 10:41 pm

I still think we end up winning a game. Due to happen sooner or later.

When the Raps play the Nets we all lose.
