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?

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.

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

I don't think he ever will. It's like back in the OKC days when Westbrook would take more shots and ice out KD some games. Some guys just won't drop the ego.

His entire NBA career is based on the "bet on yourself" mantra. Props to him for developing into this from an undrafted player, but its clear he prefers drinking his own Kool aid and being the guy. Someone like Kobe had to fight those urges to win championships and FVV sure as hell isn't Kobe.

FVV needs to be reigned in, thats on the coach and Masai but they're above criticism on this board.

Amazing stuff.


Yea cause the nets weren't missing Harden. lol los_29 the clown of realgm.


First of all, what are you talking about? We were 16-11 as of yesterday so this loss puts us at 16-12. We were on a back to back and were without three rotation players but I will acknowledge that the Nets had to overcome more with Harden and many of their rotation players out.

Second of all, classic TwO with the insults. Love it. Stay classy.

16-12 puts us right in the top 4 of the Eastern Conference. Pretty impressive record. Looking forward to getting OG and both our bigs back.

we are 0-82 this season because most everybody doesn't enjoy watching FVV. And when basketball is not fun to watch, everybody loses.

Let's not get too dismissive of team mediocre and the army of burners. We must not forget that no team with a top 5 pick has EVER won a championship. The Raptors can be bad, but not TOO bad. It's all part of the stealth tank.

Keep living in denial. That's your MO.

I know for a fact that our full starting lineup has played among the least amount of minutes together of all the starting lineups in the entire league. That is a fact.

If you're a pro-tanker that was basically as perfect as a game as you could ever want. Barnes showed his superstar potential. 22 year old Trent played well. FVV and Siakam struggled at the end/OT but put up nice stats. And you got a loss.

It was literally a perfect tank night. I don't understand the complaining about FVV's heroics. Like, you want the team to lose games but nothing should go wrong? I'd rather have FVV fail in those clutch moments than give that burden to Barnes and see him struggle.

It was a fun night. I'm on team neutral and enjoying both the wins and losses.

What real data? You haven't shown me anything. You've literally never showed me any actual facts. Neither has anyone on TwO. That's not even an exaggeration. I'm genuinely serious. I've never seen you guys post any actual facts. You guys argue with pure emotions, insults and emojis.

Do you mind showing me this "data?"
