Deron Williams and Lopez played exceptionally well tonight, I'm hopeful that they can turn their season around. With Rudy Gay on the Kings hopefully their record will also be better than ours. All that's left is for Tyson Chandler to come back to the Knicks so they can get going, which I doubt.

I think a realistic scenario is for Toronto to finish 6th last

I'm really encouraged by how bad our bench is right now. Even if Demar, Amir, Lowry, and Val all have good games, our bench is more than bad enough to give up any leads they build. And then fourth quarters can be left to the stealth tanking genius that is Casey.

Unfortunately with Vasquez and Patterson, that bench advantage might not last in quite the same way.

best way to tank this year is to let demar get "injured" maybe amir too, and let ross and j-val "gain experience" by featuring them in the offence more.

Friday will show how strong or weak our tank really is. Philly's nice start is over and they are now in full tank mode. I don't see us losing this one. If we want a win for the tank, Masai better trade Amir and Lowry before Friday night.

Philly is a horrible defensive team, we're a horrible offensive team. The stars are aligning for a disappointing and meaningless win. MCW has been out and I really want to see him play

That Lowry kid is showing too much heart to tank. It seems the neutering was only temporary!!!!! Casey has to neuter him again or Masai must get him out of here before he infects everyone else with this virus of passion.

The market has to be decent for Lowry. Playing small ball with Vasquez will surely bring some lulz on defense.

The game Friday at home against the 76ers is a game that you check off as a win when looking at the achedule, so it would be a clutch loss if the Raps could pull it out.

He obviously knows the tank is on, he's just playing hard to get traded. Especially when they were on the west coast. Who wouldnt want to move to California??

You know I think both of these guys actually had 30+ point games as Raptors. It would be fun to see them go for 60 pts in a game together. Wade & Bron look out.

Anyways the guys are streaky but can flat out score when they get hot.

Are the anti-tankers mad right now? Capspace boy, among others, was really against tanking. They must be pissed.

For the anti-tankers: At the end of the day, you can't run away from the tWo (or their fingerpokes of doom).
