MCW fouling out is the only reason why Milwaukee pulled that off. Lol. He's that invaluable. I think that Heat loss help us more than the Bucks losing since they'll likely lose out majority of the rest their games.

If we gonna tank we gonna do it right

starting lineup

PJ-Daniels-Marvin-Vonleh-Maxiell

Kemba has knee problems, MKG has to talk Price into staying, Al is shopping for a new bed, Cody gets a nose job and Gerald goes to China to get buy some hair growing chemical.

But PJ is just like Mclemore, prolly better, but make more 3s. lol

I like that MIA/MIL result, because it's almost like a double win for us. It's an actual loss for MIA, which is obviously good. But even though MIL pulled it out, it seemed like a very fluky win, which means that they are probably still in that same funk they've been in since the trade deadline. Kinda like how that 3pt bank shot Stephenson made to win the game against ATL didn't exactly spell the end of all of our woes (we went on to lose 12 of the next 13).

I was definitely pulling for MIL. MIA is getting more wins lately, I see them as much more of a challenge to catch.

I watched the last 90 seconds of that game. It was amazing.

That was an incredible hustle play to make that game winner possible. Props to Pachulia (I assume it was him, may have been Ilyasova) on a perfect pass with enough zip to get there with time left while falling out of bounds.

Brooklyn won, Pacers won and Miami is beating Boston. I'm not sure of our draft slot after tonight.

Well, we're done now. This season has been such a colossal disappointment overall, and we might end up with 49,50 losses or more. I know injuries have hurt, but Clifford has cost us a handful and awful shooting has cost us about 15. It just pisses me off that this team is gonna end up 30-52, 31-51, 32-50, 33-49 or maybe 34-48 at best. That annoys the hell out of me. There's more talent there by a long shot.

Playoffs?! Lol. Who are we drafting?

Well talent and skill-set are 2 different things. We don't have a shooter in the starting lineup and Marvin is our best bench shooter averaging like 3-4 shots per game because he's a big vagina.

Slot 9 baby.

I think missing the playoffs this year will teach and fuel our young players to become better more than making it this year. I can only imagine how hard MKG and Kemba will work to improve after that.

Won't hurt to take a shot in the dark on a top wing prospect on a rookie contract while we're at it in the draft since we don't have any cap flexibility to sign anyone proven at SG anyway.

Sam Dekker!

Pick #10 sounds nice. But this draft drops off heavily after #4 I think.

Maybe Kaminsky but Dekker is going late 1st into the 2nd.

Thats what im hoping. Kemba,MKG and the rest of the young guys come in next season with a chip on their shoulder and maybe Al and Gerald opt out because they want to go deep into the playoffs.

BobsBuddy · Post #419 » by **BobsBuddy** » Thu Mar 26, 2015 4:14 pm

BYE BYE PLAYOFFS... HELLO... Draft Express has us drafting 9-10 range...Hope Kaminsky is available? Add 15lbs and use as backup at Center.
Trade Al for a couple of bench Vets...LAC Hawes and Crawford expiring and ,future 1st. Fire Clifford and make Mark Price coach. Let Hendo PO,Maxciel UFA, and Biz RFA walk in Free agency . Sign Mo..go after starting Center in FA like Robin Lopez UFA :roll:

or Kosta Koufus UFA :nod:

or Omar Askis :-?

..Sell or trade our second round pick for future pick or cash or to trade up to get Kaminsky

2015-2016 lineup?
Mo/Kemba/Brob
Lance /Crawford(expiring),,Daniels ..Split starting time between Lance and Crawford
MKG PJ JT
Zellar,Williams,Vonleh
Koufus, Hawes,Kaminsky

This is probably best we can do.

We're an entire half-game out of the 8th seed, no need to give up just yet. Team sucks, but that's true for the entire 8-10 seeds. Still prefer a 4-1 loss against Atlanta to the seeing the 10th pick in a suit next year.
