Won't really be surprised come lotto night. Pointless.

Haha, we went from scouting the top three picks to this. Reality is really about to set in. Can’t wait for next season.

We're probably going to end up 5th and our likely selection will be 7th.

80% chance at a top 5 pick last week...

Now, a 37% chance at a top 5 pick.

For those wondering who the next scapegoats are going to be, players like WCJ and RJ doing more than they should (just like Vuc and Evan) are going to get killed for years because we don't land a real star. It's cool though, I love having anti-tank/pro-tank arguments for years on end while we do nothing else to improve.

We can still move up in the draft easily.. people are acting like these will be the final spots. Save the doom and gloom until after we invariably get screwed. But until then, there's still hope.

Detroit's young guys are worse than ours. What can you do..

Magic are playing a 20 year old rookie, a G-Leaguer PG, two guys they signed off the streets in the last week and Bamba and are winning easily.

Sometimes there's just nothing you can do about it.

We should've kept Karim Mane and given him big minutes.

8 point game with about 4 minutes and some change left. Plenty of time left.

Before we bemoan the lack of tanking, Corbin literally just played Randle-Hampton-Brazdeikis-Wagner-Bamba for like 14 consecutive minutes and Detroit only cut the lead by 1.

We got a bad team but my God this Detroit team is somehow worse.

I just laugh when I read 'what else could we have done?'.... keep trash players like Mane and Donta, while resting players like Cole and WCJ. Moe Wagner has had big games this season. Why was he brought in instead of just keeping Donta for the rest of the year? Why isn't Mane running the club for 40 minutes tonight?

This is a *spectacular* tanking effort by Corbin. Running his second unit for 20 consecutive minutes with them all clearly out of gas.

Let's see if it pays off.

JojoSlimbiid · Post #79 » by **JojoSlimbiid** » Tue May 4, 2021 1:11 am

I don't want to hear anything about not tanking. This is one of the more blatant jobs I've seen.

I can't with this ****.
