Get in line behind McHale boys! we got to 20, now we need a couple losses to secure that third slot.

Tonights going to be tough game regardless. Coming off a huge win and playing the next day on the road, I wouldn't call it tanking if we lost tonight.

with that said, if we do lose tonight, we lock up the 3rd worst record and we can let it all hang out that last couple games.

It's nice that the Wolves got to 20, though. At the beginning of the season there were predictions that this would be the worst team of all time, and threaten the lowest total victories mark.

Why? Because we want the wolves to get the best lotto pick they can get so we can rebuild this franchise faster?

I know a lot of people were against tanking(me included) earlier, but now, with only a few games to go, their is no residual effects of loosing the last two games. They have lost far more than that during the regular season, and if you think two losses are going to throw us off big time next year, your delusional.

I didnt say it would affect us in any way, I just dont like the idea of intentially losing, it disgusts me. I like to see the Wolves win... im sorry.

2 wins in those 2 games would have very little compared to 2 losses, why not go for the wins and end the season on a good note?

I do not approve of tanking.

It looks like the Bulls have been tanking all season according to their box score last night management should want some answers.

Who would believe a team could score 151 points in reulation when they only took 18 making 14 free throws and Hinrich, their starting point guard only took 2 shots for 3 points and only played 17 minutes. I've thought for a long time they could do better at point guard and they certainly did last night. Something the Wolves sorely lack is assist to turnover ratio where the Bulls had 42 assists to only 10 turnovers so the score wasn't piled up by careless passing for fast break dunks.

I am being serious 2 strong reasons.

1.) You do not ever, ever, ever want to teach young guys to play to lose. They should always be trying to win regardless of record. That will teach a winning mentality and that is something to grow on.

2.) Bloody draft is random anyway.

I tottally agree Rev, (not sure if your post above was directed at my 'Amen' post)

Losing is never good and to be honest, the difference between a 3rd,4th and 5th pick in previous years has been minimal...
