TWO: Tank World Order

It's good to feel the brotherhood of fans who were hoping they'd lose this game. I feel icky cheering against my team, but I know I'm not the only one.

The quick end was good too. Just end the game and get to hockey highlights.

It's a good tactic, to immediately distract those casual fans. It's like when a baby gets hurt, but you start making faces and doing random things to get its mind off the actual pain

West coast losses are key because you don't even have to watch them lose. Just come back in a week and they have a bunch of losses, followed by Casey's excuse loss for their first game back.

I'm hoping we can draft a decent Center this draft. Ship Jonas for a few good vets. Start from there.

No. Position should NOT be a priority! Pick BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE & go from there.
People giving up on Jonas this early really? Then go off about how we could have had Roy Hibbert.. who took 3-4 years to put up the numbers he's putting up?

Jonas is probably as slow as Hibbert, but Hibbert has the length and skills.

If the mods won't ban you at least hit the logout button and stay true to your word. Be a man...

And DD should go before Jonas. Stop.

...regardless. You don't just draft a centre first & start from there in a draft like this. If Embiid is off the board there is literally almost no other C available. Mitch McGary?
Would be like drafting Hoffa over Iguodala all over again.
I think we're better off keeping Jonas in that case.

If we're drafting 3rd, or he's best among what's left available, then he's likely the best upside for us, even tho Masai is logical as hell but the African connection is a very tempting one for him (I bet)

Excellent Tank Game
1. Demar channeling his inner Rudy Gay volume shooting and then the classic free throw brick.
That free throw is point we will all recall that cemented the "tank" for Masai.

2. Casey with his infamous Tank Commander Line up combinations and Time Out Calls

3. An exciting double OT to keep the treadmillers happy and appear like this team is competing but the tank outcome was never in doubt to the fans in the know

Long Live tWo

It's pretty fantastic to be absolutely thrilled, rather than heartbroken, by a Raptor loss at this point. We've got an interesting team that is almost too good. Lowry continues to play solid ball and Demar thankfully just cooled off down the stretch. A win would have been all but disastrous for the tank.

Now we just need some wheeling and dealing for young players to take us over the edge. Vasquez/Buycks has to come into effect soon.

changes · Post #736 » by **changes** » Thu Dec 19, 2013 4:38 am

Going to need a lot of new tanks for this upcoming schedule. A huge bandwagon of treadmills coming in.

Chaos Engine · Post #737 » by **Chaos Engine** » Thu Dec 19, 2013 5:02 am

Vasquez will be a great tank commander.

jvuc · Post #738 » by **jvuc** » Thu Dec 19, 2013 5:28 am

I got a few secretive pictures of treadmill nations latest equipment and plans to make a last stand to combat tWo ever far reaching spread.

We must be strong the next few weeks and resist any temptations to join treadmill nation as this team embraces it ultimate destiny as draft lotto team.

BackseatBoss · Post #739 » by **BackseatBoss** » Thu Dec 19, 2013 12:09 pm

To people that always say "I'm leaving the TWO", go ahead, leave, and never come back please. There will be lots of posters who were "done" with tanking after those two pathetic wins coming back in the next few games. Then we will beat someone like Milwaukee again and they will jump to the treadmill and posting about how we're the third best team in the East...

CoachJReturns · Post #740 » by **CoachJReturns** » Thu Dec 19, 2013 1:44 pm

What a beautiful night for the tank. We lose and Utah and New York both pick up wins. With Chandler back, Knicks will pass us in the standings by the end of the month as I said a week ago. Nets will pass us too. I'd love for them to both pass us sooner as a Christmas present to the tWo. Our next few games should be all losses on this tough western conference road trip, while our tank competition has more contests against eachother.

All those bandwagon jumpers need to bugger off. tWo is still here...We've always been here. Next few games could be great for the tank. Let's hope Masai gives us a Christmas present as well by dealing one of Lowry or Amir soon.
