There's got to be better ways to spend your time. Like you know, spend time with your family and loved ones, go out for a walk and get some exercise, etc. Spending all your free time checking out these videos is the same to me as perving at Instagram models. Complete and utter waste of time. That's all I got.


When Masai actually makes the move, then we can say he has. At this point, it's all speculation and tire kicking. We could go for compete for playoffs or go for higher draft pick ROS, depending on what Masai does by the Feb 10 trade deadline.

-Team Masai

Or even team performance. If they start losing or winning a bunch of games, that will probably impact the direction Masai takes.

TREADMILL NATION!!! STAND UP!!!


You are quite close to the true path of enlightenment.

Why have dreams? Just settle.

Undersized star point guards with no elite athleticism? That'll work, chill out.

Why aim for greatness when you can just be average?

Scottie won't leave us after 7 years of B level players surrounding him, no way!

The mantras are starting to sink in. Treadmill nation might soon be getting a new member.

:meditate:


Any half wit knows that if you have goals the path to achieve them fall on a gradient and its not binary.

I have a dream job. If my next job isn't my dream job but its a step closer to it a rational person would call that progress. Not here i guess. In said scenario i should just off myself.

lmao someone cant claim to be team Masai when he's going on about paying Fred even more money. Who will end up paying Fred a bigger deal? Masai. So clearly he aint team Masai. Also cant claim Team Masai when he's convinced with his whole "we need to tank" mindset. What if the direction Masai takes isnt to tank? Is he still going to be spewing his garbage come March?

You dont get to pick and choose when you're on the team. Then he goes and makes a post about us trading a first for Turner to be a treadmill team, which proves my point that he's a complete idiot.

Of course it's a gradient. Who said you can become a contender in one year? Once again team mediocre shadow boxing with some unknown foe. :lol:

These guys routinely celebrate when our players get hurt. Masai gets up at 5 to workout. I don't think he'd appreciate the re-branding.

This is defamation. I never celebrate injuries to our players. My lawyers will be contacting you soon.

Tank World Order is sounding a lot more like Treadmill World Order.

I am utterly confused at what they want. Their definitions are constantly changing.

I'm sure Masai, Bobby and Tolzman are sitting in their office praying for losses hoping to implement a strategy that doesn't work. Sounds very Masai like.

You're not Team(trust) Masai. It stands opposed to TWO. Dont bastardize the term.

I said I cheered when Gobert took him out on the screen - that is not cheering for injury on our own player. I was stating a fact of what happened and also cheering for Gobert. GTJ was heat checking and sht and being a ballhog

LOL @ GTJ heat checking. Still doesn't seem like a very #teammasai thing to do.

Oh, still doesn't seem like a very #teammasai thing to do.


I can be Team Masai and also Team Barnes and be hating on that ballhog during that game.

Recently GTJ has been more willing to pass the ball, so I don't have problem with him now.
