RIGGED
KC: Do you still think you're a championship-caliber team?
Gar: I never said that and correct me if I'm wrong.
KC: You were asked that question at the news conference announcing Thibodeau's dismissal and you answered yes

We can't ever have good things. Chicago has become such a joke of a sports town. Hopefully the Bears, Cubs, or Blackhawks do something soon.

Doesn’t matter if we won or lost the coin flip. That was just for show. Mavs would get #1 either way.

I don't think it's rigged, but yet again I'm angry at braindead AKME for attempting to win useless games. **** those rat ****.

As I said I dont really believe its rigged, but how it looks makes people question.

Ad traded - get #1 pick.
Luka traded - get #1 pick.

Meanwhile Spurs keep racking up these top picks while giving up no young players.

Yes, I'm sure all the other owners are fine with the lottery being rigged against them.

And for some reason the league wouldn't rig it more often for the freaking Chicago Bulls or New York Knicks. Sure thing.

Yep. I almost want this team to fail brutally so we don't have to endure more of the AKME treadmill.

Nico Harrison drafts Flagg 1st overall then immediately trades him for whoever the 5th pick is and a future pick.

I guess we got our draft luck once and are paying for it. Of course the benefit of winning the lottery was 3 years of a superstar before he tore knee ligaments 3 times in 4 years and was never the same.

Coin flips have cost us Magic Johnson, Luka Doncic and Cooper Flagg.
