Trades?
Practice?
Fights?

This is the longest amount of off time the team has had in a while. What your thoughts on what happens during this break?

venture to guess we work hard on our defensive principles and our rotations begin to solidify themselves. i personally hope there is at least one fight, we need someone to show some fire.

Lay an egg in the first game back and blame the down time for rust.

Nothing happens. Media will hype up all the practice they had, and they'll lose their next game and blame it on rust.

Change starting lineup. SJ and KCP become our wing pitbulls and Morris becomes our stretch 4. Tobias remains 6th man

Back to basics basketball. "This is a basketball, can anyone tell me what you're supposed to do with it?"

I want Stan to start SJ only to pull him 2 minutes into the game because he had a -1 plus/minus rating.

That's basically a mini-camp. Ok coach, let's see what you've got. Surprise me.

Well, Chicago is back at .500 and the Wiz are hitting their stride as they just beat the Celtics. The pack pulls away.

And don't look now, but the Sixers are making the playoffs. Calling my shot.

More importantly, what happens to this board? By day 2 we start to question our sanity. By day 4 we've started eating the weakest posters

Honestly if the Sixers make the playoffs, their "Trust the Process" worked. It's a notch on the belt for tanking properly.

But yeah we're going to be rusty and the blame game will start again.

Seriously though, this is the first time all season our entire roster has been healthy. Four days of practice could go a long way.

The Process already worked!

Got a dominant big man who looks capable of being the MVP once he's off a minutes limit.

Got Simmons for the next 4 years

Got Saric too

Even if they get minimal assets by trading Okafor and Noel they've got a frontcourt that is likely going to at least match up well with everyone else for the next 3 years.

Throw in multiple Lotto picks coming their way...

Hinkie killed it! Which is why he got moved out lol

Can't have 5-10 teams tanking for 4 years - ruins parity lol

Sink or swim time for the Pistons. They are close enough to the 8 seed that a run would put them back in the mix but a losing streak probably kills their chances. I guess we'll see what happens.

Sixers will come close to taking out the East soon, if not next season then for sure the one after.

I for one would have tolerated the extra level of suck to be where they are, instead we tolerated moderate to high levels of suck in order to sort of not be as sucky as we previously were.

Based upon the season to date, I'm going to say very little happens. They'll have some good games, but mostly play like a bunch of selfish strangers with little real interest in being a good team. They'll refuse to share the ball with any consistency on offense, and make halfhearted effort on defense. After bad games they'll look glum and talk about how 'we gotta do a better job of (insert some fundamental precept of basketball).' SVG will appear after these games looking vexed and confused and give a terse post game, and on we go. Don't misunderstand, I'm hoping to be proven wrong.

We beat 2 good teams in a row and completely **** the bed against the Kings. That's been this whole season so far. I'd like to see Baynes at least moved soon.

whitehops · Post #20 » by **whitehops** » Wed Jan 25, 2017 5:00 pm

if we beat the kings i feel more people (myself included) would be optimistic, saying we've won four in a row, we have 4 days to practice, we're finally healthy and we'll make our push.

instead we had a letdown loss to the kings and now it's four days of uncertainty.

people call us a treadmill team, but why does it feel more like a roller coaster
