Both Philly and Minnesota won their games. Good night for tanking

Philly is 4-6 in their last 10. There actually may be a shot where they finish with more wins than us. Crazy.

If only Brooklyn won we'd be equal 3rd!

Might as well say, if I only hit the lotto I'd be 1.5 billion dollars richer....... Brooklyn is an abomination.

would be great if Suns, Nets and Lakers finish with the same record how would work the number of combinations on the lottery day?

Earl Watson may actually coach these guys to some wins, which is good... but bad for a top 3 pick. I'm on the tank train and do not want to make a run at the playoffs because it feels soooo unrealistic. So lets be good at being bad. That means losing...

Utah Feb 6
Nets Feb 25
Nuggets Mar 10
Twolves Mar 14
Lakers Mar 18
Lakers Mar 23
Kings Mar 25
Twolves Mar 28
Jazz Apr 3
Pels Apr 9
Kings Apr 11

2 against the Lakers, Wolves and Jazz. I can see how there is still optimism from McDonough. Our tank may not be as strong as we think. One loss at a time... come on top 3 pick!!

With the way we have been playing our tank is about to lose a tread... Our tank is simply not as strong after the coaching change and a motivated Markieff. It is time to make a trade. We win at Utah tomorrow. Calling it.

Thankfully the PHX tank didn't breakdown vs. Utah. Tonight looks like a PHX loss vs. Thunder. Brooklyn could beat Denver at home. LA is at Indiana. New Orleans vs. MN. Could be a nice night for the PHX tank!

Tonight could be a HUGE day for our tank.

Lakers already tanked late
Let's see what Brooklyn will do.

Pacers just barely hold off the Fakers and Nets are leading the Nuggies in the 4th quarter

With the Lakers playing competitively, the 2 March games are looking better for our tank.

Lakers Mar 18
Lakers Mar 23

Philly and LAL were so close to winning. This could have been a great night.

Looks like George Karl is getting canned. I'm honestly not on this board enough to know whether or not we would want him as our head coach or if we hate him just like we hate everyone right now not named Devin Booker?

No worries. Brooklyn won and it looks as though we will lose tonight.

76ers and Lakers are the 2 teams with the megatank (most purpose and incentive).

I'd happily take 3rd and we're a dice roll away from accidentally getting the type of player we need.

I still think we can win the tank wars. Weve been worse thsn all these pretenders.

I think he's a good coach. Sometimes he overachieves and takes teams further than they should go but he has lost some series he was favored in, one where he was heavily favored. But also has coached teams to both conf finals and the finals.

I'd still probably prefer a good assistant or underrated college coach, ones who may be up-n-coming but wouldn't mind him when it comes to ones with head coaching experience. Doubt Sarver would hire him though...he probably wants someone who has never coaches so he can pay one of the lowest paid coaches in the league.

Yeah I have no issues with third. I feel more confident in us getting a better pick than #3 than being 1st and getting the #1 overall pick. I know it isn't mathematically sound but that's how I feel.
