Both convince themselves that being a loser is justified. Its been and is fascinating to watch to say the least.

Name me the last team to win a Championship without a SUPERSTAR. This is the perfect season to tank and increase our odds of getting one through the draft.

Do you honestly believe this team can make it out the east this year? It's been proven that Pascal Siakam cannot be trusted as a number 1 option moving forward.

And how did the draft strategy work out before we traded for Kawhi?

Oh right, drafting a superstar is extremely difficult and more luck based than anything.

We didn't have a top 5 pick in the entire tenure of Masai, and only one lottery pick.

...because we accumulated assets in the lottery to trade. Which is why we need to do something before Lowry and Norm walk.

And again you believe that the way we won it which has basically never happened is repeatable, whereas the decades of getting talent through the draft is not?

Yes - Kawhi for Demar, Jak and one first will happen again.

Sadly even adding Kawhi to this squad currently without taking away and we don’t win a title given the climate.

The reality is you need a superstar in place before you trade 7 first rounders for a second.

Or is that not what just happened the last year?

MN and DET ahead, we’re behind. Could be a great night for the tank. What a time to be alive!

Can always count on Miami. Nurse's wack lineups/rotations also contributed to the tank tonight

Its not tanking when the damn team is winning other games. We're going to end up with the 15th pick or something.
