Tank World Order (6.0)

Moderators: DG88, niQ, Duffman100, tsherkin, Reeko, lebron stopper, HiJiNX, Morris_Shatford, 7 Footer

At 9-12 where do you stand?

Tank World Order: Hope the team continues its downward trajectory so that they can add another top lottery pick talent to the core of Barnes and OG?

54%
Team Mediocre: Try and win at all costs this season. Playoff experience is valuable for the young players on our team. Making the playoffs, even if the play-in helps preserve our winning culture.

18%
Team Neutral: Have not decided what direction I want the team to head. Waiting until later in the season to decide.

If we come out of this next stretch of 18 games at .500, I’ll jump off the tank. Quite a huge IF though

Would require us to go 10-8 lol

If a miracle happens and they stay mediocre through this next stretch. We gotta pack up camp and reevaluate in the offseason. But I doubt that'll happen though.

Yep. I’ll be surprised if we’re at .500 by January 21st. Rough stretch coming up next

The real tough stretch starts next game.
I'm still learning on aiming for that lottery sweetspot at around 6-8.

Realistically if **** hits the fan we will be going 3-7 in the next 10 which would cement our spot around the tanking teams.

You are all weak for that "jump off" "reevaluate" talk

Like I mentioned many times, the easiest stretch of our schedule this season ends TONIGHT (Dec 13th)

Here comes the running the gauntlet!

Have faith everyone, the holy grail of .500 is upon us!
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

I said it more as a “it won’t happen but I’ll give you a little sense of hope” for team mediocre lmao. This team is still lotto bound

We have not upset any matchups for the entire past month (PHI win against no Embiid, MIL win against no Giannis). We beat up on bad teams and lost to good teams, and embarrassed ourselves against DET and OKC.

Next stretch (to end of Dec) only bad team we face is Orlando. Time to really rev up the tank!

Not a jinx comment. Kings were trash, was an easy win.

Only if we had DeMar, we'd be 10 games over .500 at worst right now.

So I guess that means 5-6 actual wins with 3 fake wins on top. I accept/approve of this outcome.

I've already calculated fake wins into my equation for the initial 5-6 wins prediction.
