The upside is, they're basically forced to play ed davis. And run PnR's all day.
In theory.
And hope it clicks.
But who knows.

I don't think I've praised Hayward in the last 15 games. He's played terribly for the last few weeks. I mean, yeah, I am biased towards him so I don't post about him that much in shooting slumps, but my last four posts on him have brought up his terrible play this year so I don't know how much I'm trying to keep down his poor year. I don't think I need to post multiple times a game about how he's missing most of his shots...I think the only guys that I've brought multiple times up because of their terrible efficiency this year are KG, Rudy Gay, and Oladipo and I like two of those three guys as well.
edit: I missed the claims of racism, I can't believe I posted a serious reply now
You sir, got VAGD.
And hard.
When he comes back yeah. But in the mean time it is John Leuer time I guess.
Also when the hell did the NBA start blacking out games when they are on NBATV?
Wait, ed's out too?
Lawd.
Wrap it up. Tank. Seriously. Do MEM have their pick this year?
Imagine being able to replace prince with a top 5 from this year!
Yep, MEM have their pick this year.
Tank for it!
Yes. But I am not sure how we can out tank the east and Sac right now. We are gonna get stuck in the 10-15 range.
Let Marc Rest. He's already got an "Injury".
That's 70% of your tanking done.
If Zach keeps getting injured, or playing only mediocre.... You won't get near the east's top, but could easily slide to the bottome of the west tbh.

Please don't make me watch this game, Charlotte. We're supposed to lose convincingly and begin the tank.

Charlotte is already way too behind in the tanking race to catch up at this point. They are likely going to finish between 7th and 10th in the East.
We lost 25 straight last year by going full retard. There's nothing saying that we can't put Ben Gordon at point and do it again.

Almost nobody was trying to tank last year for that awful draft. The only bottom feeders in the East that wouldn't want to tank late in the year are the Nets and Knicks, and they may be too feeble to help it. Even the Cavs will eventually embrace the tank if they aren't at least the 10th seed after the All Star break.

MCW's been decent when "healthy". Oladipo shows promise despite his awful handles. I guess the Plumlees aren't bad. That's about it, though.

At least I say my stuff in jest, but Vag is actually srs.
I want to think that he was kidding, I hope so

Lol, there was nothing wrong picking Freon over cp3 at that time. Utah looked they got the right guy the first 3 years or so.

At least I get to claim I'm the regular season champ after finishing 12-2. Too bad I'll get lit up in the playoffs.

Some of the other starters? Do the Trailblazers start 8 players?
if youre going to quote dumb stuff said by Matt Harpring its going to be a long night
I'm exaggarting but he did mention Aldridge, Lillard and Batum lol.
uh Sloan isnt like 170 years old
Well I only saw half her face and must be all of the makeup and dyed hair but she looks signficantly younger or he's looking older than 70.
he has aged massively in the past 5 years or so.. and i think she is like 50
He's never been a big guy but he looked quite skinny :-/
