I have realized almost 90 % of the time I watch the game live we won... that's not good for tank haha
Celtics fan.
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

I don't know, this might be a danger game with the pick. I can see why Detroit is so off and on with their games. That bench might be the shallowest in the entire league right now.

I'm just here hoping for a lottery luck right now tbh.
At the end of the day, I can't do anything about fixing the win and loss column for every NBA team at the end of the season... I'm just gonna take it and hope for the best, even if we get 7th, 6th or even top 3 pick this year.

nights like tonight are why i kinda worry about Fox. His stat line isn't terrible but sometimes it seems like he would need absolutely everything to go right just to reach 20 points. You wonder if he's gonna end up a 13/14 ppg scorer in the league. It's like a combination of him being passive + nights where his shot's off + him not being big enough to finish around the basket consistently.

also...i think for the future we know who we need to sit if we wanna improve our chances of tanking... We've looked completely lost without Bogi out there

That's almost everyone is it not? Their leading scorer all year is averaging averaging 14 ppg. The Kings run a college system that isn't designed to ride the hot hand or allow anyone to go beyond it. I'm hoping that this year is an introduction to basketball and next year it's an introduction to NBA basketball.

Sometimes you get the sense that this Joerger system is all wrong for Fox. He seems neutered compared to what we saw at kentucky. You wonder if it's the system or just having ZBo out there. We play soooo much slower when ZBo's on the court.(pace was good vs utah)

They just didn't have the energy tonight. That was the capper of a long tough week.

I've been paying attention to that as well. It's amazing, when the paint is clear he seems to be so much more effective. Who would have thought right?
