Absolute worst case scenario where I can't believe people here want this to happen.

Going from 8th to 15th to get swept in the 1st round is something I'll never wish upon any NBA franchise. An extreme punishment for not being good enough.

Such a weird season, with all the covid **** I could see Management genuinely monitoring these guys minutes, even amidst a playoff race. But... my gut is telling me that there is a clear objective to lose games, or at least not put an emphasis on winning.

Two very easy games coming up - if Raps can drop 1 of 2 or whatever, the schedule gets really bad down the stretch.

The win(loss) last night probably pissed off Masai

I love Masai so much! He was a hell of a leader when I worked at MLSE and he's being a hell of leader by sitting all his best players.

A loss against Orlando would makeup for the win against the spurs

Oh snap, he must've not been happy with the W yesterday lol. If Frederick plays, he may mess things up.

They probably have to rotate guys in to avoid league discipline.

There was a sideline shot of Nurse repetitively playing with this wedding band during the Raps run in the second half. I thought he looked tense in a way that coaches generally do NOT when their team is playing well. I guess he was worried about Masai's reaction if the Raps won.

But why didn't he just play Stanley? It was the obvious tank move.

Haha ok, FO gets it, not so much a "stealth" tank though :lol:

. Masai after last game like: wtf do I gotta do to make you guys lose!?

So what's our starting line-up going to be? Fred-Hood-Watson/Yuta-Boucher-Birch?

Where do you stand?
