so is this the team pretty much rolling out the tank if RYNO is scratched tonight?Quote:

Look for Lou Amundson to play tonight for Hornets vs. Nets. Ryan Anderson probably will be a scratch.

Keeping up with Cavaliers.
"You dropped a bomb on me, baby."
40 minutes for AD hopefully.
god, I hate the tank... The NBA needs to do something to stop intentional tanking.
I agree. I accept the tank but i hate it when teams put themselves in the best position to lose. Teams like Cleveland who tank almost every year are a blight upon the NBA. I swear they stockpile draft picks every year it seems. I dont want us to become one of those teams. We need to be in the playoffs next season no ifs ands or buts no coconuts.
This is beautiful. Thank You Based God. SWAG.
Tanking just builds a losing culture with little pride.
Definately. We already dug ourselves a hole though... So i can live with it for this season. We have alot of talent on this roster Idc what ppl think. If half the games we had in the bag had gone our way we could be looking at a slightly over 500 record. Things have just not gone our way whether its intentional or not.
We need one more top 5 pick. We are far ahead in terms of development from the cavs and kings of the league. And we will make the playoffs next year. We will have a better PG, an improvement at SF. Davis will have more strength. Just calm down. The tank is very important right now

Aminu going for the quadruple double tonight.
*sigh* I don't even care anymore...
People need to stop trying to be like other teams. This team is completely different than the Thunder. We have quality pieces already in Anderson, Smith, Lopez, and Gordon. Tanking is just wasting time on these contracts.
Also the Thunder have proven to be superior draft experts with players like:
Durant
Westbrook
Ibaka
Harden
Pondexter
Bledsoe
in the past 4 years. Meanwhile, the hornets as a team shown poor draft performance the past 5 years.
No offense guys, but if AD plays 30+ it's hardly a tank job...
To compare us to the thunder as far as picks isn't fair cause 1st of all there haven't been the quality of players they drafted available to us in our drafts. It's not like we have missed on a sure fire all star to draft someone else. Ad was there n we got him. 2009 we got Collison which was bpa at the time n we didn't miss out on anyone after him. 2010 we did miss on a few guys such as Bledsoe,Avery Bradley Ed Davis Patterson and Larry sanders. Hardly the talent the thunder have had to pick from they just got lucky as in the type of talent coming out during there "tank" years. We didn't even have our 1st rdr for 2011. Just showing that comparing our draft decisions are not as bad as your making them out to be by comparing Okc draft for last 4 years.
Jenn Hale supposedly said RYNO came down w/ some kind of illness... we'll see if he's back in a game or 2
Yeah I read he was "ill"... so I hope he gets well soon... whether he plays or not.
Craaaaap.
Plus what if (God forbid) some of our key players suffer serious injuries next year. Then what. Tank again?
Toronto does not have a 1st round pick, and when your a small market team you have to build trough the draft. The team is doing the right thing we are not built to win this year. Would you like to have the seasons the hornets had in OKC win a good amount of games miss the the playoffs and draft a J Wright type of player.
Then again the next year. And again the next year. We'd have all the high picks. And then, without any success to stand as a solid foundation to build a contender from, BOOM championships. That's how it works.
If you're coming off the effects of general anesthetics.
wish i coulda at least saw Sims get extended play just this once before we made a decision on him but oh well... now I just want to see Darius get extended play
The whole tank craze is alive and well.
I am going to Wizards game Friday, I actually would love to see all hands on deck for that one.
I hate losing, but tanking could be the difference from being in the top 6 and getting a good player, to getting a longshot. This yr is lost. This draft is not deep, the talent gap is wide after the top 10. Hell, a couple of loses by the T'Wolves and we may have had Drummond.
Were a small market. Meaning, the draft will have to be the biggest part of the rebuild. When we start to win then FA would want to come to NOLA.
I doubt this organization wants to lose, Monty and Dell has made it subtly clear, the personnel will change. Porter, Oladipo, Smart,Shabazz,Burke, will be fantastic to have on this team and will have immediate impact. Basically, if u wanna become a winning team, for us, the best way is to acquire a top 6 pick in this draft. Lets make sure one of them are here is all.
