At least I'm pretty sure neither the Timberwolves or Suns are likely to be in such a position. But the Bulls...they always seem to make a jump whenever I run tankathon.

THEY cannot make up their minds

I think we got our elite analytics team working the tank covertly against the greatness of the roster and coach Nurse. Each gameplan is sprinkled with virtually imperceptible nuggets of disaster no team could reasonably overcome. This is how the perfect karma tank is executed.

You really can't see how that's consistent, you drinking the steelo koolaid. Just take one second and think. Just one.

You accused Nurse of tanking early last season too until they started racking up the fake wins and moved up the standings. Then all of sudden the team became too good to tank. Now it’s back to the Nurse is tanking on purpose theory.

I accused him of doing it in Tampa.

I'm all ears for anyone to explain why he calls a timeout with a 5 on 3 advantage with 15 seconds left. When he doesn't call a timeout with 30 seconds left. It's pure incompetence or its intentional.

Following a game where he lets them play 8 straight minutes being beat 18-4 and scoring 4 points in 8 minutes and not calling a single play or timeout.

Knicks missing Robinson and Quickley big time. Looking like a win.

The Knicks remind me all is well with the Raptors. Not a good night for the tank

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article/with-trade-deadline-near-upcoming-stretch-could-determine-raptors-direction/

The decision-makers are watching. Raptors president Masai Ujiri has been to see the presumed No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft, Victor Wembanyama, play multiple times. Similarly, the Raptors have had eyes on the expected second pick, Scoot Henderson, and the other top prospects in what is considered to be a top-heavy draft class.

They’ll be prepared if the season keeps careening off course. The question is if they decide to nudge the process along by trading key roster pieces for young players or future picks.

We can't trade Fred man. Scottie will single handedly blow up the tank if Fred is not here to keep Scottie buried at the corner

Update

16 games until trade deadline including last night vs Charlotte. I guessed our record. I will update after each game.

(17-23)

Jan 10 - Charlotte - W (18-23)
Jan 12 - Charlotte - W (19-23)
Jan 14 - Atlanta - W .... Loss (19-24)
Jan 16 - @ NY - L .... Win (20-24)
Jan 17 - @ Milwaukee - L (20-25)
Jan 19 - @ Minnesota - L (20-26)
Jan 21 - Boston - L (20-27)
Jan 22 - NY - W (21-27)

Jan 25 - @ Sacramento - L
Jan 27 - @ G.S. - L
Jan 28 - @ Portland - L
Jan 30 - @ Phoenix - L
Feb 1 - @ Utah - W
Feb 3 - @ Houston - W
Feb 5 - @ Memphis - L
Feb 8 - San Antonio - W

Feb 9 = Trade Deadline.

7-9 record as per above (24-32). But lets say we get 2 extra wins and go 9-7 instead, we would be (26-30).

To put things in perspective on Feb 9 of last year (deadline was Feb 10), our record was 30-23.

How should the team move forward this season?
