I think this Warren “injury” is a stealth tank move but I’d rather them have given Booker the night off with some “injury” instead of Warren.

Oh well, at least this is a game good game for Booker to improve his #s.

Come on, man. Did you see how hard Warren smashed into the stanchion? Not surprised he has to sit for a game.

No I didn’t see it, I missed some of the game. Didn’t see Bordow report any injuries after the game so I assumed everyone made it out healthy.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver warned teams against the practice of "tanking" and said that such conduct will result in "the swiftest and harshest response possible from the league office."

Would y'all rather have a Booker 60 point game and a win or a loss?

Loss. In fact I'd like to finish with 18 wins. But I think this will be a game where Payton makes that difference I was taking about.

Hopefully we slip on a banana peel.

Early on in the game, it's not looking good for team tank. This Memphis team is pretty awful lol

60 and a win, still need luck for the top pick, worst team doesn't win lotto all the time, just the last two times.

If it was an important game, I think he would probably play. This is a lowkey tank move in the guise of being "extra" careful with the injury.

What is Tyson doing on the bench? Shouldn't he be resting his neck on a hotel bed or something?
