Glad the Spurs got that W!
It's been fun being part of tWo for the last 3 seasons and battling with many delusional posters over those years. RGM was dead this season, but those who stuck around seemed to unite and find some common ground (some reluctantly though) on the goal to tank.
Next year I will be taking my talents to team mediocre, team treadmill, team compete, whatever you want to call it. But in the mean time, I will pray to the basketball gods for some lottery luck!

We're gonna make the play in.
We're gonna finish 10th
We're gonna finish 8th.
It was doom and gloom the entire time. Now it's all about 2 slots (5th to 7th).

I think we’re locked into 7th now. Nets can’t match us in wins.

Bailed out by the Spurs and retain 7th. Masai should be grateful as a tiny modicum of karma swung back in his direction from the Poeltl trade.

I'll be interested to see what the sentiment is if the Spurs at 8th jump into the top 4

What if they move up to top 1? Karma wise they deserve it. If Philadelphia wins the lottery I will stop believing in karma.

Team continuous incremental improvement!
It's not catchy, but it's what we'll be doing.

Ya...OKC tanked and all they got out of it was Chet Holmgren and Josh Giddey. Those 2 are the only picks OKC made that were their own picks and a direct result of their tanking.
SGA was a the result of a desperate Clippers team
Jalen Williams was taken with a Clippers pick.
Ousman Dieng was traded from NY for 3 protected firsts
Cason Wallace was drafted by Dallas but traded to OKC for Dereck Lively and the chance to dump Bertans.
So really...OKC tanked hard for only 2 years and ended up with Chet Holmgren and Alex Caruso. The rest of their roster was them being mediocre or taking advantage of the Clippers' stupidity.

We literally didn’t even tank properly. Thank the lucky stars that Harrison Barnes hit that game winner.
