Can't wait until we get back to playing teams that aren't tanking. Need a few more L's. We should beat the Mavs by 126.

Has there been any word on whether Monk is playing?

Glad we aren't tanking. These games are so meaningful.

I'm so hyped over the possibility of a three game win streak. Its even possible that we move up to 9th in the East (and back to sole possession of the 12th pick) after this win. Clifford will prove tonight that he deserves a 20 year contract extension.

Now just imagine a whole season of these games. Or multiple seasons of meaningless games.

I'd prefer for us to be building towards the future instead of ramming our heads against the wall.

That's fine, but I'm going to stop watching or paying attention to this team if they tank and I think a lot of other folks will too.

There is no such thing as a bandwagon fan for this franchise.

If the team stops trying to field a competitive team or attempting to win games, to me that is a signal that they don't value me as a fan and I'm not going to watch them play.

I feel like that article supports not watching a team play, no?

I watch basketball to see a team try to win games. Competitiveness makes the games interesting to me. If a franchise is intentionally throwing entire seasons away, explain to me why I should invest my time in watching them play?

I'm not saying it's a bad strategy to build a team (though I personally think it is). I'm saying I'm not going to watch a tanking team play.

I dunno. Win or lose I think it would be fun to see stretches of Monk with Kemba, Lamb, Kaminsky, Bacon, Zeller. They might be entertaining to watch. We've seen Clifford trot out the same role players every game and none of them generate much excitement for me. Marvin and MKG need all these minutes?

You gotta loathe Dwight Howard.

The nba owe us a number one pick for not tanking like other teams we still play like were fighting for a playoff spot.

The head band adds a whole new dimension to Franks persona.

Fun fact. Frank is 38% from 3 and showing no signs of slowing down.
