Tank World Order (7.0)

[Johnny Bball]

Despite the fake win vs a Holidayless Bucks team. I'm glad that Freddy Allstar is being forced to play more off ball (and not stat pad) the last few games and Siakam is expanding that facilitator role.

He was doubled every play. Do you even watch what's happening?

[Johnny Bball]

Just keep digging this little crying hole deeper and deeper with your bad takes. This has been over for weeks.

Freddy Allstar had to shoot 17 times for his 17 points.

Freddy all star is currently getting double teamed more than any Raptor since Vince Carter. It's a major factor why Pascal has been going off lately.

Bucks 2-man trapped FVV on each screen above the 3pt line, just like we did to Steph Curry in the finals. That led to many Bucks defensive breakdowns when FVV passed out of it - boosting our offense especially in the 4th. Casey didn't that do that. Bud is an idiot.

Impressive showing by Pascal nevertheless.

We need him

out of our range

Perfect developmental year. Poetry. The raptors are not a great team but they are flashing what they can be. A tank would be the dumbest thing to do ever at this point and it's not even debatable

Also the takes at this point are so bad it's clear to me they are doing it to illicit a response. ie trolling. Best not to respond and use this thread the reiterate TANKING DOES NOT WORK.

Tyty Washington keeps getting better.

Dude is a stud and the best point guard in the draft

top 5 pick I'm pretty sure. He is just too talented to get picked at like 10-15

I’ve noticed Mathurin, Davis, Brown and Griffin are being projected higher and higher. Which means a couple guys are falling (I’m guessing Baldwin, Hardy, and maybe Duren?). Not bad consolation prizes for teams in that 11-13 range that can develop prospects.

well Hardy and Baldwin are falling fast outside the lottery

[Badonkadonk]

Can't imagine not enjoying the Raptors win cause I'd rather see them draft a mid-late lotto pick.

The worst part about this whole fiasco is that it's literally just hoping for losses with no realistic or feasible path to a top lotto pick unless disaster strikes the team you supposedly love.

The players aren't going to throw games. The coach isn't going to throw games. The FO wants to win every transaction and does so more often than not; they're not going to trade players that're contributing wins for pennies on the dollar.

The "best case" scenario for "two" is bad injuries and/or lingering sickness, and then a whole lot of ping-pong luck to jump ahead of the 8 or so teams you have no hope of out-tanking.

It's just a sad way to go through seasons.

Honestly, we didn't double Steph anywhere near as much as teams have been doubling Fred. We face guarded him and went box and one when Fred was in the game.

This probably wouldn't be happening as much if Birch could stay healthy and we had actual shooters but it's been crazy to watch.

They're falling for a reason they are not winning players. Baldwin has been so bad lately he shouldn't even come out. Duren against othe bigs can barely get rebounds and hardy is a straight chucker. I wouldnt touch any of those guys

Duren is still projected in the top 7 but I wouldn't draft him.

Ya also Kendall brown has been pretty bad lately but I don't seem him dropping of the top 10. Jeremy sochans stock is going up since Baylor looks bad without him playing but raps need some skilled scorers off the bench.

Yo dude, Idk why it’s interesting but I found an old thread from 2013 where we were both on TeamMediocre/ anti tank. Different world.

You guys missed out on a whole half decade of cheering for losses. Too bad.

Team Mediocre cheer for losses if anything. Since you guys love mediocrity.

Except for that whole winning a championship part. But I suppose that is not important.

True, Hardy is def not a raptors kind of guy and I’ve never been super crazy about Duren. Baldwin, is more intriguing. His height, creation ability and supposed shooting talent (I say supposed since he has been so hot and cold in college, mostly cold so far). I’m gonna attribute that to that team basically asking him to be a one man army which is a miscast imo.

That’s not team mediocre’s goal. The goal for team mediocre is to be a perpetual 6-8 seed team with no upside and prop up B level players (Fred) like they’re actual top 10-15 players.

Team Mediocre wouldn’t have traded Demar for Kawhi. They would have mentioned the risks involved (injuries, asking to go to LA), the loyalty Demar showed, the fact that Lebron went west, etc. Masai made a winning move, not a mediocre one.

He also didn’t settle for mediocrity last year #PlayInForWhat!?

I'm convinced he doesn't know basketball. There is no way someone can be this stupid.


Personal Attack. Warned.

[Yeezus_]

And here he goes generalizing a whole group of people just because they aren't onboard with his vision of this team, which is a full tank. It's hilarious because he actually believes everything he says lmao

I swear to God this dude is just making up **** as he goes. Can we have something like a "fact check" option next to posts where if enough people click on it, it gets marked as "misinformation"?

None of what he's saying here is true. Somehow this guy thinks he knows exactly what everyone wants and is thinking. We have the youngest team in the league with tons of development this season. We are being competitive and developing. That's what we care about. Stop making up crap.

The Demar trade was perfectly fine. Any sane individual could tell the team had capped out with that current rendition of the roster and they needed a superstar.

Quit spreading lies.
