Tank World Order (6.0)

Moderators: HiJiNX, 7 Footer, DG88, niQ, Duffman100, tsherkin, Reeko, Morris_Shatford, lebron stopper

At 9-12 where do you stand?

Tank World Order: Hope the team continues its downward trajectory so that they can add another top lottery pick talent to the core of Barnes and OG?

Team Mediocre: Try and win at all costs this season. Playoff experience is valuable for the young players on our team. Making the playoffs, even if the play-in helps preserve our winning culture.

Team Neutral: Have not decided what direction I want the team to head. Waiting until later in the season to decide.

I know, its sad that all you fellow tank boys have to be so angry and insulting right now, isn't it. It was just a win.


Respectfully, one could also choose not to post in this thread as well.

You mean like when everyone else trolls every other thread after a loss, will? Or am I missing how that's done, and what's fair.

I never come in here but hopefully you guys are scouting players in the 15-22 range of the draft.

Welp...the Spurs SHOULD be an L for tWo. I think the Spurs lost to a decimated Pistons team the other night.

Not sure when Murray is coming back.

It’s funny how people keep bringing up teams who lost to inferior teams as if that’s not a common occurrence in this league. Spurs lost to the Pistons, Nets lost to the Clippers, Lakers lost to OKC. It’s the NBA, this stuff happens all the time.

I think the fact it happens so often is the reason why it’s causing you guys so much stress.

This fake win and loss stuff is hilarious to me because you guys are STILL rolling with it as if it’s an actual thing.

Watching the end of the Magic/Celtics game tonight reminds me of my aversion to tanking (except for last season). I hate having to cheer for horrible teams (like the Magic) to win. It's so frustrating. I remember revulsion I felt watching a late-season Kings game last year.

We always cheer for bad teams to beat the Raps' rivals anyway, but the stakes are so much higher when we're tanking.

That is because you are aiming way too low. We are not competing with the ORL, DET, HOU for ping pong balls - they are too far down.

I've seen mostly positivity this new year!

Cmon John let's turn that frown upside down and come together this year. We are all Raptors fans at the end of the day.

Looking at that PG spiraling - will has gone up against both TWO and TM over the past 12 months. He now has a broad perspective.

Certain posters just like to drag things on. On the rare occasion, I oblige. This evening is that rare occasion.

Will is slowly turning face and is on the verge of turning against tWo and joining Team Compete.

FREE MONEY BONUS! Since will was the most ardent anti-tanker. He didn't even flip last year until the bitter end.

I'm waiting for your ninja flip bro!

Nope. Simply refuse to go back and forth with people.

Made my point already.
