Here's our nasty little secret... they are actually hurt. Don't tell anyone, we don't want to blow our image.

Today the tank gets completely derailed. Book it.

Nice finish. Up 6 with 3:10 remaining, to lose by 2. 8-)

Nice tank day!

Let's hope for a Raptors win. Those fans are cocky bastards for people who haven't won **** and they deserve misery.

Hey, just wanted to stop by and say thanks for this exciting photo tank finish. The Warriors scared me there for a bit when they managed to secure back to back offensive rebounds, but ultimately came through missing all three of their final shot attempts.

The goal tend was a nice touch. Can't take the chance that Bellinelli might attempt to torpedo the Warriors lottery chances as an act of revenge for the trade.

Wish you all the best.

Signed,

Loyal Warriors East fan.

Big loss for you guys tonight, but it only gets harder from here. The Spurs will be on the 2nd game of a back to back, both road games, the big 3 probably won't even be in California. Can you lose to an undermanned, tired Spurs team at home with a coach and home crowd that want to win? This will be the Warriors's biggest challenge of the season. You must tank like you have never tanked before to overcome these nearly insurmountable odds. Good luck to you all.

Well, the Spurs are going to play without their Big3, but, we always lose to them, so lost this one two, I'm praying, there is still a chance for us there, if we lose it, we'll be tied for 7th spot with Raptors/Nets.

Then it's a coin flip and, luck on the lottery.

I think the spurs win. Lacob will put up all the stops and will have a chat with Jackson.

All I could think about watching the final minute of this game was the hilarious effect it must be having on Jazz fans.

Admit it, you are excited to go into their thread after this.

I especially love the sarcastic Jenkins comment you had recently in there. :lol:

That thread is a riot. Warriors are evil. 2004-05 Jazz are good.

Warriors are tanking. Cleveland isn't.

Lacob is cheating (no explanation given here).

Jenkins is tanking, he should be scoring 20 every night.

Jackson should be winning more games with this lineup.

It goes on and on. It's so over the top I keep thinking that they have to be a parody of some sort, but it's all real.

I'm enjoying it too :wink:

But remember that the 04-05 Jazz traded up from 6 to 3 to get Deron Williams ... just saying ...

Yeah we covered that there. They got that 6 pick by having the 4th worst record in the league.

True, true. I'd honestly rather get the pick next year where there's (hopefully) a better point guard crop. It gives us more time to decide on whether or not to move forward with Harris-Millsap-Jefferson as well. We'll see what happens.

Post #1838 » by **floppymoose** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 7:16 am

Outsiders perspective: trade Harris and Jefferson for more youth/picks. Millsap I would keep, but if you do move him you should ask for a strong return.

That was some impressive tankage....holding out Brandon and Klay to audition the younger players. I have to say, I don't think this is good for the integrity of the league though. Also, if you guys finish the year 7 - 22 (or whatever) and lose the coin flip, you're going to look like.....well....it's not good anyway you look at it.

Post #1840 » by **floppymoose** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 7:23 am

Klay and Brandon were leading scorers. Klay played 27+ minutes. I guess you are upset that Chris Wright finally got to play after waiting his turn all season?

You must REALLY hate the Hornets, they held Eric Gordon out entirely.
