Priorities:
1. Lose as many games as possible.
2. Get a high draft pick.
3. Beat Miami later when it actually matters.

Mine are in order...

We aren't going to lose every game. It's not going to happen. Need to be realistic about it. Most likely we will not be more than the 4th worst team in the NBA.


True but just because something that's in the best intrest of the team won't happen doesn't mean we shouldn't root for it.


Yes but my point is that I will never be upset to beat Miami. Their local fans are annoying and fairweather. Beating them repeatedly is never a bad thing. Additionally, these players are not trying to tank, as much as we want it. Plus we aren't getting into the top 3 without lotto luck or a trade.

It can be and is a bad thing right now. Go to tankathon and look at the records under us. Its crazy close. Every win hurts us. I know the players aren't trying to tank, my beef is with management not tanking. There is no reason Jeff Green and CJ Watson should still be on this team. Mario should be getting all the minutes he can eat. Last game Vuc hurt his leg. Perfect opportunity to give him some time off. Bring up Zimmermen. See what he can do. All of these things help us long term and it should help us lose.

Ironically playing cj dj and Jeff green actually helps the tank lol .

Sure, but it was Devos's birthday, home game, state rival. I just am not surprised the team won and not bothered by it.

I'm fine with losing game but we aren't getting a top 3 pick without serious luck and the next tier of guys from 4-8 is fairly similar.
