it would be something similar to when David Robinson was out a season so when he came back he was united with Tim Duncan.

that would be nuts for Chicago.


And they're 'tanking' aka strategically losing in the smartest non-obvious way. They have no PG (until Hinrich comes back) or primary playmaker. They don't have anyone at the point of attack. They barely put up 85 ppg and their defense has gone to all ****.

The Bulls have more talent than us AS IS and their open to the idea of blowing up while Raptor fans seem to think we have the pieces necessary to be an EC playoff 8 seed for the next 10 years :lol:

Bryan Colangelo was the worst thing that ever happened to this fanbase. He brainwashed so many people.

BUT BUT THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN

Ugh... how about for once playing it?

But but we won the #1 pick in 2006. And? What do we have to show for it?

But but 8 is an okay draft position. Let's win and let the balls fall where they may. It's a crap shoot anyway.

Lillard - Barnes - Ross

I don't understand if I'm being trolled on this forum anymore. Just sheer idiocy.

Take it easy. The vast majority on this board wants to tank. And MU is actively trying to handicap us at the point.

I was going to draw a comparison between the Bulls and the Spurs. They're taking advantage of some bad luck and could open a new window for contention.

MCW back in for Philly tonight vs. Brooklyn... Sixers currently winning.

A win for Philly puts them at 8 and we're only at 9.

Just sayin'

I am confident that this team is capable of a long losing streak and can be in the running for a top 3 pick in 2014. Thankfully Kemba won it for the Bobcats, since that win for Toronto would have been tough to swallow. Looking forward to the next three losses to begin with, and their record standing at 9-17 after the road trip.

I'm only going by the box scores so I don't know if the game ended yet, but never underestimate Philly's tank

edit. Looks like it's going to OT

Alan Anderson just **** us.

Bucks are probably losing in OT.

Milwaukee is too good at losing. Mayo with two missed threes that could have tied it up. I guess it's ok the Cavs won though.

I am now convinced that the Bucks will end up with the worst record in the League. Everyone is fighting for Number 2.

Stay strong brothers.

Refs are just giving the "bad guys from out of town" the lead so the Mavs can come back in heroic fashion.

NBA 101.

The seductive power of the treadmill is powerful.
I have to correct myself when I find myself cheering for Raptors players basket and desire to beat the Mavs.

I need an intervention and corrective thereapy from the treadmill.

Yes, and enduring the uber inefficient ISO ball makes one yearn for any sense of winning team play. Even if you know the ceiling isn't very high for this bunch. Stay strong brother, may we endure yet a bit more pain to someday reach NBA glory.

This isn't easy for any of us, brother. We must press on!

I have a very hard time cheering against the raptors.

When you have doubts:

Remember the coin toss, remember teams tanking every year the last few weeks of the season, remember the treadmill!

Picture yourself on draft night and dream!!!!

Tank this sh**!!!!

If any tWo soldiers are having problems rooting against the Raptors, just answer these handy questions:

1. Do we have a chance at the NBA Championship this year?

A: No.

2. Do we have the trade assets & cap space to trade for 2 stars next year?

A: No.

3. Will this squad organically develop into the Pacers?

A: No.

TANK.

If you're feeling empathy for our "poor players", take heart knowing they are banging models, buying mansions and splashing us with their limos after a loss.

They'll be fine.
