I didn't think 4th last was possible but its right there for the tanking. Seize the moment.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

I’m afraid that when Kyle comes back he’s gonna be playing for his next contract - so there’s a decent chance they creep into the playoff tournament which ends in a first round exit/just missing the playoffs.

Hinkie would have moved Kyle and signed a bunch of G league players for “development” and prioritized them.

I wonder if Nurse thinks the FO is doing him dirty. He really wants to win and it’s beginning to wear in him, but not much you can do when you are offered a low talent roster.

Honestly Nurse needs to chill a little. He got a superstar in Kawhi in his first coaching year, not too many coaches get that privilege. Kudos to him though, he took advantage of it.

FO should really sit down with him (if not already) and just tell him to focus on developing the younger players. Part of Nurse frustration could be lack of explicit direction from FO, and naturally he wants to win because he's a competitor.

After Draymond's comments Warriors showing they're willing to tank another season.

I don’t know if Fred potentially sitting out in future games is a good thing for the tank. With him gone we might see more ball movement and more open shot attempts.

If Flynn starts who’s the backup pg? Bembry?

Hopefully we’re back on track against the wizards. That’s a major game

If Beal doesn’t play we win that. Wizards are ass.

FVV being out is good for TWO overall (strong defense missing).

BTW, whoring for And1s from TM in PG is strangely satisfying!

Hope you’re right. We really could have made some serious progress today had we lost. Oh well.

Watched the last couple Bulls games and they’ve honestly played decent, just lost to better teams. They just look a little out of sync because of the new additions. I am not worried about being in the play in tournament or anything. After this rough stretch the bulls play some winnable games (They play us, Minnesota, Memphis, etc).

We need to seriously rev up the tank because winning at this crucial moment will kill our chance to climb in the lottery (literally from the magic to us all the tanking teams are only a game or two apart).

I agree IF Fred is told to rest. Perfect timing. Wish OG was resting. He really impacts how good we are on both ends (can't wait to see him GTJ and our lotto pick be the next core).

Hate to see anyone hurt, but with Lowry and FVV out, it is time to get those L's. It will be tough to get
at least a top 5 pick slot, given how bad the other teams are, but it is worth the effort.
