This is the biggest game of the year. We failed last time against the Kings. WE cannot fail this time.

I think its about time we switched things up on the board.

Instead of doing a "player of the game" after we win, the mods should do a "tanker of the game" after we lose. We could then vote for the player (or coach) that contributed the most to that particular loss.

Also we should have it where a loss means that the person that initially did the game thread should do it again. Once we win, the game thread then should be done by someone else.

A losing streak should be treated like a winning streak, and vice versa.

JWiz you really need to step up tonight and bring us a loss!

Battle of the bottom-feeders, were in for some bad basketball tonight. It might even be hard for Tap to screw-up tonight.

I suggested this before and I think the little twat Rent-A-Mod shot the idea down.

What's sad is that the Clippers are completely tanking, with Baron Davis, Zach Randolph and Chris Kaman all being "injured" for prolonged periods of time.

The Wizards are playing their two best players 40+ minutes per game.

And we STILL suck more than Los Angeles.

If that isn't enough reason to play the F'n kids, I don't know what is.

Fred Jones is a tanking teams wet dream. We might need to reach down and put up that special kind of suck to pull this game out. Paging Mr. DS, your services are needed on the court, ASAP...

the picture of Brian Skinner on Yahoo looks a little like 'Zo Mourning. is that why he has 6 points in the first quarter?

DeSuck is the 1st shooting guard off the bench.

I hate this coach.

+1

I do want the best chance to get the 1st pick, so I'm 50/50 on TAPER.

I hate is style of coaching, but I know he'll mess up a win so more ping pong balls.

LOL at the Clippers announcers...

(after Stevenson misses a 3)

"Stevenson didn't make a shot the other night. Last night was his first game back in 15 games, so the rust is still there".

Yup, it's just rust.

:lol:

I'd be so happy if Tap would play McGee 25+ every game from now on.

Opps Crab Step.......... That was a great thread!

It's tough to hang with a professional tank squad like the Clips who have it built into their DNA. We really will need to step it up in the 2nd half to have a chance at the tank.

Off topic, but apparently Bynum hurt his knee tonight. Can you say instant karma is a b--ch?

You mean this Andrew Bynum?

I weep for the future.
