Nets just beat the Lakers and almost beat the Cavs…NETS are trying!
NOBODY wants to chase that worthless #10 play-in spot!!! Plus ..do you really want to risk an injury to a key player down the stretch during these meaningless games!!!
That Utah fine was a joke…and won't stopo anyone from all out TANKING!!!!
PHILLY was the TEAM that refused to WIN!!!!!! tonight…They were tanking….big time!!!!!!!!
You can bet your last dollar..that management and the coaching staff and the players will be having a HUGE meeting today about the end of the year..TANK PLAN!!!! Book it!
This team had too much talent from day one to be truly in the tank race. And we want the kids to play well because it shows, A.) we got depth, B.) we have assets to use, C.) it sets up the proper mindset and culture as well as expectation within the organization that winning above all else is the most important, not hoping for a bouncing ball to make us champions.
The time to really try to really commit to the tank and secure that top 4-5 spot has come and gone already. This current stretch of games was always gonna be impossible to throw for the simple fact that our G leaguers are the best out there.
Just play the starters 25 mins, incl Ingram. If they move to 10th, you get a free look at the team. That momentum will be worth more than the difference of picks 5-10
The double header with orlando will go down as the mistake this front office made. Needed to tank earlier in season.
I'll say this, the Raptors might have the deepest bench in the league next year lol These guys are playing fantastic basketball
Rather watch darts than two NBA teams trying to lose.
God please don't give the wizards the #1 pick
I am now pretty firm that if the Raps pick does end up at 7 or below, I'd be cool with trading down for extra stuff. The class seems pretty flat frankly after the top 3 of Flagg/Harper/VJ
I’m sick of being upset when the raptors win. Tanking is loser mentality they should turn the whole tank lottery upside down and somehow incentivize trying hard instead of sucking.
The 76sers was trying to lose too they didn’t played any of their starters
This is an intense NBA draft. Even if the Raps pick at 7 or 8, they will still get a good player. Look at Barns (4), Dick (13), and Walter (19). I believe in Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster.
They also did very well in the second round, drafting Mogbo, Shead, and an undrafted player in Battle. They also made a couple of good trades with Davion Mitchell (who is now with the Heat for a 2nd round pick) and BI3. They picked up Orlando Robinson (a good bench player), AJ Lawson, and Jared Rohden (good reserve players).
We have IQ, RJ, and Agbaji to facilitate a summer trade for a star player or multiple good players in return. We are talking about Trae Young, Coby White, Cam Johnson, Nikola Vucevic (Can he be a bench player), etc… The Raps can turn Cam Johnson into a starting SG, and Coby White into a starting PG at an affordable price. Vucevic, Dick, and Shead can stabilize the bench.
Spend your entertainment dollars on music or other art instead of tanking and injury management
We just gotta play our guys and hope Chicago Portland and San Antonio keep winning so we stay at 7 I cant watch these g league games
This team will be middle.They are wasting Barnes and their starting talent potential like Vince 3.0 now they are thinking of trading Barrett.
Never kill a winning energy or you will be sorry! ..Raps ain't getting Flagg, NBA sending him to Washington. VJE's the man the Raps want, trust it! Next Ant-man with great D. Darko is coaching and developing the sh!t out these guys … Get in the playin, who's stopping them?
I asked myself: can we win a championship with purely organic improvement from these existing players and I think the answer is NO!
Yeah we hit the last 10 games and it looks like we're locked in 7th, I'd love to see BI get some court time with Scottie just to see how they mesh and give them some time on the court together
