I know right. The general negativity on this forum is pretty tiresome.

i'm not so sure why some people are so happy with this win
you guys know Kings is the worst team in the NBA right?
if we can't beat them might as well start tanking

Well seeing as IND beat LAL in the Staples Center is kind of a sign that tells you there are no gimmes in this league. This isn't the MLB where the talent level between teams are extreme. Any win is a good win, because any team can beat any other team on any given day. Sure it wasn't a flawless victory, but it was victory none the less. It appears that you're treating this as a loss. Sure you want to take the negatives into consideration, but there's no point in focusing solely on them either. We found a way to win, in the 4th, on the road, which is something we have not done a lot of this season. So remember...

Evans just jacking up shot (making it easier for Battier)

what if you tank and not be bad enough either to get those number 1's?
You'll scare top free agents from joining, and won't get favorable calls from the refs. Refs pick on bad teams and give them extra calls against them.

Lottery doesn't guarantee anything. Look at Sac, washington and Minnesota. They go lottery every single year they haven't had much improvement. Nets get lottery every year too, they're doing pretty bad this year.

Nets only missed playoff after they start over by trading away Kidd, Carter (only 3 years)
Wizards missed playoff because Arenas situation (you forgot they got their big3 by trading their lottery picks? Harris for Jamison, Brown for Butler) (they were in the playoff couple years ago)
Kings? only missed playoff after they fired Adelman
their last 4 lottery picks
Hawes, Thompson, Evans, Cousins
Wizards - not sure what they did to their 2009 pick, look like Wall is their only lottery pick in the last 5 years (Harris is the previous one)
Nets - lottery pick post-Kidd era: Lopez, TWill (we got him now), Favors

i guess you can say we got 2 lottery picks in Hill and TWill
just aint the top one

i rather take gamble at high lottery pick than stuck between 8-12 seeds

Too bad tanking is illegal. And teams like Rockets have too much pride to do it.
