Tank World Order V (Rise of the Phoenix)

[Brinbe]

You guys are seriously insane. We're still tied for 4th worst and would be even lower if Philly wasn't completely shtting all over itself and the Pels didn't have some voodoo curse hit upon their entire team. One win and all the same BS about Masai comes out. I'm all about the tank as anyone but give it a rest.

Masai with the Birdman handrub with the 2025 FRP. That Blackberry being put to work calling other GMs to make a deal.

Gee. I wonder why we needed the rule.

[Airmiess]

I don't know if they can be bad enough to get a top 3 pick if theyre beating good teams while also getting bad whistles..

hands might be tied when IQ returns.

The tank died last night in my view.

If they beat Cleveland in Cleveland on Sunday I’ll give the possibility that the tank is threatened a second thought. They haven’t won a game on the road yet, and are embarking on a road trip. So don’t book your NBA finals flight yet.

What if they’re competitive in the fourth?

Because that’s what I see happening

[Johnny Bball]

The poeltl trade STILL kicking this team in the ass. Imagine the price of getting Yak and holding on to him is a chance at wemby and flagg/ace.

The league couldn't be happier that masai is being a fool again.

They would have had to finish 2nd last and take SAS spot to get Wemby (an impossibility), so that's a pretty stupid reach.

We've lost a lot of close games against lesser teams because closing them isn't a strength of rebuilding teams.

yup, it's a long season. Even the worst teams in the league still win 20-25 games.

They weren't going to go 3-79.

Same not losing my mind over it. We knew they were going to win over 20 games and some will be against decent to good teams. They will happen throughout the course of the season. Knee jerk reactions get us nowhere.

The ideal way to tank is by losing but showing a competitive spirit.

The biggest risk to the tank would be when we get the full squad back (Quickley, Brown, Olynyk). In an alternate world where everyone was healthy, you can see how this team could have had 3 more wins (ie 7 wins by now).

That would put us around the #6 spot in the standings.



I think we do need Brown back, so that his value is built up for when trade season opens on Dec 15.

Also, TWolves offense turns into a sh*t show when Conley is absent. They had a rookie playing the point last night. It is either championship time or loose every game with this board. Even the 96' bulls lost to the raptors. We will still get a top 5 pick imo.

Some need that dopamine fix of a win to keep the play in possibility alive. They have no patience for placing the team in a better position to secure a high draft pick. What for right? It's all luck anyways. Better to win now!

Some like to watch the team cheer for win because at the core of sports, that's the entire point.

And I laugh at your 'patience' comment when you're the first one to jump on Dick, Ochai etc when they underperform in a small sample size.

[artsncrafts]

Wolves played really poorly and their bench was 2 deep...or 3 if you count Rob Dillingham as a player.

Tank is still on!

Posting criticism that they need to improve is hardly jumping on players. This isn't comparable to tank/competing. But whatever.

Calling them a bust is jumping on players, which you did.

And patience is patience, so yes its comparable.

When did I call them a bust? If they don't improve, they could be a bust isn't calling someone a bust. But whatever.

Will we have a 2021/2022 redux? Who will be this year's Thad? I see a high leadership veteran expiring contract in Houston
