I feel like the newbs around here this season haven't gotten the full RealGM Bucks Board Experience without the tanking. You guys really have no clue what made this board the monster it is today.

After 20+ years of something you start embracing it.

We are also obviously not tanking, so we'll either find a team that is trading us win now value for Monta that we like or not, how we do in these next couple of games isn't going to change that.
If you're not rooting for a BJ or Ellis trade before the deadline then yes, I understand why some can't comprehend wanting us to lose these games before the deadline. But as I keep mentioning, we have hints dropped by very reliable sourcing that the outcomes of these games before the deadline will likely play into the probability we make a bigger trade (ie break up the swag twins). So if u understand why someone would want Monta or BJ traded, then it should make a lot of sense to u why some would want us to lose tonight and tomorrow...

I've said this before, but Larry kind of sounds like Dennis Rodman.

keep building him up Jim, we need to trade him in 24 hours...
I like how Boylan was upstanding here, even though Ellis didn't follow his instructions on that one play out of a timeout and bad decisions on others.

They can play themselves hard and respectable to the 8-9 seed every year for the next decade and I'm sure we'd all be proud. ******** PARTICIPATION RIBBONS FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!

Re: PG Ben Brust takes over Joe Johnson's body
I've been numb to the ups and downs of the regular season for a few years now. I've pretty much just been following the team from a distance waiting for some sliver of hope to draw me back in. Until then I'll continue casually follow the team here and there, except around the deadline, lottery, and draft when I get extremely interested again.

Huh? What very reliable sources said that us losing these couple of Brooklyn games could lead to us blowing things up?

What does tanking have to do with rooting for the team to win a game in OT on the road? I like the feeling of watching my favorite team win games, tanking or no tanking.

Boylan seems like a VERY likable guy. He really does. But he isn't the answer here IMO.

Well from what we know the FO is probably doing exactly that. Where u refuse to make the connection I don't. Youre welcome to ur opinion but don't pretend u don't understand my point of view. We both love the bucks a ton, that's all that really matters...

A poster on an internet message board said so. Must be infallible.

Dude, if u haven't been playing close enough attention to what's all being posted on this board it's not my job to find all the necessary posts to catch u up. It's one of my least favorite cliches, but I think in this situation agreeing to disagree may be the best course of action here.
