That's a good thing. We don't want any part of the playoffs.

We can only hope to see some of our players get better and continue to lose for a good draft pick.

These empty wins mean nothing.


Because that strategy has worked really well the past 4 years.


You have a better strategy right now? It's the only hand we have with this mismatched roster.

Unfortunately the management's ass is on the hotseat and will make a desperate hail mary trade to save it by mortgaging our future.

This game was doomed from the jump. Gave up a ton of points in the paint (60+), could never contain penetration, gave up way too many second chance opportunities.

This team's defense has regressed in a weird way. Really thought they had it figured out after the road trip.

I agree with this. If you look at the tank race we not that far behind. A good losing streak and we are right back in it


At the start of the season I said I'd do it and nothing has changed but the management will never allow it. :nonono:

After a great stretch, they have a rough one. Very up and down and a trade for more scoring is needed.

Team is headed nowhere

We aren't a playoff team but we don't want to tank either

You can't blame the poor defense on schedule or fatigue. The last 4 games they've given up 116, 117, 109 and 121. Can't say you're tired every night.

At this point I'd keep AG and Ibaka. Everyone else can go.

And then the new GM would still have to use Option A, unless one of our young guys steps up to become the go-to scorer we need.

I don't understand how the management doesn't see this. You'd think they would learn after last season but they're doing the same chit again. It's actually worse this year.

How the phuck can they be so stupid?

Denver was 8-15 and on a long road trip. Another bad, bad home loss to a bad team.

Treadmill teams usually make the playoffs, maybe even 2nd round but they never contend. When are we even going to make the playoffs?

No the new GM would be cleaning up and removing the steaming turd of a roster Henny left in the locker room.

He still needs to replace those players with someone better.
