Tank World Order V (Rise of the Phoenix)

[MiamiSPX]

We are 7-33 in our last 40 regular season games. A 2-game winning streak isn't indicative of anything just yet.

[LastNameEver]

I don't know how theyre going to pull it off without guys being in tremendous pain. I don't wish for humans to be severely injured in order to gain later.

Unless they agree to fake the injuries.

[DelAbbot]

You guys are seriously insane. We're still tied for 4th worst and would be even lower if Philly wasn't completely shtting all over itself and the Pels didn't have some voodoo curse hit upon their entire team. One win and all the same BS about Masai comes out. I'm all about the tank as anyone but give it a rest.

You always act like you are at some moral-high-ground. All the BS about Masai is about to pull a clown move trading 2025 FRP is all in response to those posts in GT/PG about us pushing for play-in and ignoring draft position in a strong draft. Those posters making ridiculous posts about competing while 4-12 with a roster that was 25-wins last year. How about you stop trying to lecture us how to make stupid posts, and go tell team compete to give it a rest after 2 straight wins?

[DelAbbot]

Some need that dopamine fix of a win to keep the play in possibility alive. They have no patience for placing the team in a better position to secure a high draft pick. What for right? It's all luck anyways. Better to win now!

Some like to watch the team cheer for win because at the core of sports, that's the entire point.

And I laugh at your 'patience' comment when you're the first one to jump on Dick, Ochai etc when they underperform in a small sample size.

Go cheer for wins capped at 45 forever. Congratulations on play-ins year in and year out.

Give it a break harping about cheering for losses - we cheering for losses are cheering for 60 wins seasons in the future. Don't pretend you don't understand.

I hope their spirit gets crushed tonight. 

Go Wolves! show these losers how to close games.

Yeah this is really 'cheering for the future'.

There's a difference between 'hey I want to lose games' and the toxic garbage that is these posts which leave everyone with a bad taste in their mouth with the TWO posters. Also because it's the same exact subset of posters who flooded the forum with the toxic FVV posts with the same tone.

The funny thing is, had we tanked when some people wanted us to tank we’d be in a much worse position than we are in now. I hate to tell you guys but Scoot Henderson isn’t saving our franchise. Neither is Jaden Ivey. These are the guys that people wanted.

We aren’t a good team. We are going to get a top 10 pick. With that said, it’s very encouraging that we are playing close games with this young team. Our players have bought in and they compete every night.

I won't speak for Chandan, but like 99% of stuff being posted here in TWO thread, it's sounds like a joke / troll to me. Hyperbole is funny. We post here because of the funny chit we post like we did in HS, so who cares?

Yes, I posted plenty of FVV bashing posts, but I always presented facts / evidences (videos, stats), sprinkled with ridiculousness

Remember when it was an unthinkable disaster that we didn't end up with Scoot?

We should have gone for the head (Wemby)

So if you're posting clearly toxic and hyperbolic content and then get all in a huff when people call you out for it?

Sounds right.

Yes, but it was also said that we did end up with Scott/Thompson twins etc and that was a disaster.

Meanwhile we've ended up with arguably the 2nd best player from the draft.

I don't remember anyone clamouring for Scoot.

... what? Tons of the board were talking about Scoot as a future star.

There was definitely some Scoot-specific player lust, but more to the point imo, there was tons of clamouring to be as bad as possible in that draft and similar posts for Miller and the Thompsons.

Really happy to come out of that year with Gradey.

[OakleyDokely]

Anyone on the smaller side, who doesn't shoot it efficiently/consistently, I'm out on as a prospect at or near the top of the draft. It's just too much to overcome in the modern NBA.

That high brow level of high school humour. Way to aim high.

yup, it's a long season. Even the worst teams in the league still win 20-25 games.

They weren't going to go 3-79.

Same not losing my mind over it. We knew they were going to win over 20 games and some will be against decent to good teams. They will happen throughout the course of the season. Knee jerk reactions get us nowhere.

I'm less concerned about the team being good enough to actually end up in the play in/offs, I'm more concerned about Masai lacking the patience needed to see the whole thing through. Part of me wants to hope that this is going to be a season where he fully commits, but I'm mostly just waiting for some shortsighted move to come in. Maybe I'm just traumatized.

Yep. And Cade, Jalen Green, Sharpe, Mathurin and the list goes on and on and on.

[Chandan]

Why are all these folks that needed their safe space coming into a tank thread with their anti tank talk? Cowardice on full display~
