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.

Was expecting a W tonight so it’s all good. We all knew this stretch of easy home games would be like this. Losing the okc game negates this one

OKC loss makes up for this. Going 0.500 over this stretch, which is the softest on our schedule is a win for TWO

Yeah it's crazy how anyone would be excited about beating the 4th seed last year while missing OG, Birch and Precious.

TwO ignoring very important details again.

Kings game pretty vital. If we lose that one and then net Nets on the back to back we're back being 4 games under .500. Which is where we were before the Fake win against the Bucks.

Tank can recover.

The 4th seed last year who happened to have a losing record coming into this game. Seems team mediocre is ignoring some very important details again

We’ll be anywhere between 7-12. Don’t forget how many times we sat Kyle and the main guys down the stretch last year when it became evident we weren’t gonna make the playoffs. Won’t be surprised if we get lots of nights with Pascal and Fred sitting after the deadline

i feel like we had an excuse playing away from home, i cannt see us sitting guys at home, and if we are in the play in range i dont see nurse or the guys being ok with sitting for no reason. last year the boys didnt care but this season i dont think they will allow it.

I'm glad you can acknowledge that the East is wide open this year.

I know TwO doesn't believe that injuries have an impact on team performance but I tend to disagree. I am curious to see how this team does when it's best players actually have a bit of time together.

We definitely could have made the play-in game in Tampa, had we not sat Lowry, OG etc.
Let's see if Masai has the balls to back up his "play-in for what" this year and "bench" some vets down the stretch.

We have a lot of fake wins so far, should be like 8-18. But that's the nature of the regular season. It'll all even out soon. After December 20th the schedule get's a lot tougher.
