If the FO wants to tank then they're gonna have to make the call and DNP-Rest more players. Let's be honest it's not right to put it on Darko, the coach of the team, to put 3rd stringers out there to try and throw games. That's just messy and unbecoming.

It's over. They need to win as much as possible now

[Zeno]

I don’t gamble but I guess anyone who took our season win total over suddenly feels like they have a chance now. 31.5 is looking like 50/50

[PushDaRock]

Kind funny watching TWO lose their mind

i mean it's a lottery. what if we settle into the 6th seed but the 7th and 8th worst teams win the lotto...then we shouldve won more games!

Only thing I'm trying to avoid is the play-in, managing to fluke our way into the playoffs means picking 15th with no shot at a top 4 pick to get slaughtered by the Cavs would be a disaster, anything beyond that I can live with.

It's just as good as the 5th pick, just a few spots down.

yeah, get the sense that scottie and IQ in particular aren't too interested in this tanking thing. but they play to win, can't really fault them for that.

Barnes has that competitive drive....and IQ already missed most of the season so I don't blame him for wanting to play....but it's obvious you can't play any starters against these tanking teams....maybe 1 at most, but 2 will get you a win.

Utah had 2 starters and 6 1st rounds playing in total.

Maybe it's not all about where guys are drafted

I think you anti-tankers dont understand what we are mad about. Raptors, at least at several points this game were trying to lose. Garret Temple played, but once it got close to almost being able to lose they threw the 2 NBA guys back in. So...what are they doing? Why try to lose but then at the very end try to win? They also "tried" to lose the Magic games but they tried too late and the bench held on. If they were coaching or managing consistently it would be a bit less bad, but there is no benefit to the way the win was coached today.

they also missed 16 FTs and turned it over 25 times

[DelAbbot]

Yeah even I can't justify this. Just strange

Beyond stupid!

TONIGHT WE COME TOGETHER AND JOIN FORCES WITH DEL AND SCASE!

This made my night!
