Tank World Order (6.0)

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

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.

Honestly, with Chets handles, I think you let him play the three if you can away with it. Create the mismatch with length, instead of worrying about his strength down low

Just beat the defending champs on Thursday and now the 4th seed in the East tonight. All this without OG. And even better, we got OKC, NYK and SAC at home next week. I'd be starting to sweat if I was TwO.

Least experienced team in the league too.

We could be above .500 by next week. Easiest stretch of our schedule. For the rest of the year it's tough (barring some fake wins of course).

9th is the sweet spot! They won't be getting passed Philly with Embiid back or ATL!

Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Are those the only teams that are allowed to slide down the standings?

Atlanta just lost to the Hornets at home who were without Ball, Rozier and Plumlee. The Knicks, Wizards, Hornets and Cavs are mediocre. Boston is going to hover around that .500 mark and have such little depth that they can't afford to have an injury to one of their top guys. Heat are going to be without Bam for awhile.

East is wide open. As mentioned in another thread, the Raptors full starting lineup has played 50 minutes together this year. To put that into perspective, The Warriors and Jazz have played 5x as many minutes with their starting lineup. I'd imagine we'll be getting better with OG and Birch coming back and our schedule being a bit easier.

Slots right in at SG for us instead of Svi. At 6'6 he has great size and could be a solid off ball shooter for us

The PG thread is a cesspool. Made the smallest bit of criticism and people coming for my head Lmao

Anyways, this is an easy stretch for the team so we’ll see how it goes. Honestly I don’t really think this class is all that special overall so not gonna stress over tanking or whatever. I think the direction will be clear by the trade deadline and we’ll see what happens then. Even if we’re in the 12-16 range, I’m confident Masai can get us a great player

Still think we’ll be in the 7-10 range, but we’ll see. Our schedule after this home stretch is definitely not friendly
