I felt we should have tanked last year, and this year too. But at least they made the playoffs this year, which was good for the image of the franchise with the Nets probably on their way to their first championship.

There was no excuse not to tank last year. Letting Mike Miller ride the vets for meaningless wins was utterly absurd.


He didn’t want to tank in 18-19. They were awful. That fool always wants to “compete”. I’m just grateful that we had no choice but to play the kids and live with the results. Got us a true pillar.

Only thing is maybe we wouldn’t have been as bad in 18-19 if we got one of the studs in 17-18

I think they clearly wanted to tank for Zion. They were bad on purpose that year. They let Fizdale run wild and played Knox major minutes without holding him accountable despite being trash. That's tanking.


Is that a serious team?

Kawhi isn’t a closer and PG has no confidence. Can’t wait to see the Mavs vs Jazz matchup.

Utah-Milwaukee Finals is what he deserves for changing the All-Star game format, putting ads on jerseys and the play-in tournament.
