PG: Back with a Vengeance

[WhatsaTDot]

Where are the people who complained about winning messing up the tank? Clear tank job last night. No celebrations?

We celebrated last night and woke up sober this morning and realized going 7-1 has knocked us down a peg in tier of prospect and now we are back to mourning

What are you doing Raptors?

we are winning 6 games in a row

Nah, you don't wanna do that, you should lose!

why

Well you should trade your vets for draft picks, fight for a top spot in the draft lottery to land a high end propsect

then what

Then next year, you lose again just as bad. This may be harder as you've gained talent, but break thy spirit of thy players and losing should come natural. Do that again for a few years, build a roster full of young talented players.

then what

Then you find a coach who can develop young players, start building towards success, maybe use the fact that you have a bunch of folks on rookie contracts to sign an experience free agent speed things up, develop those players into better assets that can be used in trades. If any of your current players become disgruntled, just trade them for more draft picks!

then what

Finally, after 6 years of tanking and improving those young players, you can then go on a 6 game winning streak.

Can you show an example of this mythical creature? The so called “broken spirit player”. The player that endured a losing season and that because of losing, was never able to recover their basketball skills.

If you don't realize it's the FO wanting to lose this game, I think you need some serious help and life mentor

We live in a world where people voted in Trump..for the second time. Don't have too much faith in people.

Yes you a right, they should have voted for the guy that puts tampons in the boys bathrooms.

Yall are so easily triggered by absolutely nothing. You really think that every washroom or something down there has tampons in it?

But hey, at least we got the fascist instead. That’ll show those gay people right!

Ben Simmons? lol. I guess it wasn't a losing season, just a losing series lol.

pretty much every wizards pistons and hornets player in the last decade lol

Somehow it hasn’t affected the players on Orlando, Cleveland, Houston or OKC. Maybe players are more influenced by poor organizational and team cultures than whether teams are prioritizing their development

if indeed fascist(100%not true imo) still better than antichrist morons. The people that attack the free speech are the freedom loving democratic antifascist people.lol.
How do you get from tampons in every men bathroom to gay bashing? Seems like you are trying to make an argument out of thin air.

Orlando did need a decade to break out of it, and they’re currently below .500.

Sure, but Cleveland is led by Donovan Mitchell, Houston FVV/Brooks, and OKC SGA, all of whom experienced success very early in their careers.

I don’t know to what degree, but losing a lot definitely has some negative impacts. No clue how much, but just from personal anecdotal experience the best way to bring out the best in one’s self is to be surrounded by positive, good environments. Losing environments are the complete opposite of that.

This isn't the forum for this. Take it to current affairs.

This game was clearly a FAKE LOSS. Tank killas in full effect.
