Our Current Standing

**UNO Gracias** · 02-20-2013, 09:35 PM

We currently have the 7th worst record in the NBA and are just 1 game away from having the 5th worst record, game and a 1/2 from the 4th.

Come on guys! We can do this! We are losing the right way. Lets keep it up!

Side note: I believe we finish with a top 6 pick.

Not gna lie, I can't really see the point in hoping for wins anymore. I'm for the tank being rolled out again so long as it increases minutes for AD23, AR25 and Darius.

Bingo

I think I can hear the tanks starting up now! Show us your new tanks for this year as we all get on board and pull for "the tank"

**Mr. West** · 02-20-2013, 10:09 PM

Who on Earth are we tanking for this year? There is no one good enough to wish for our players and coaches to go through the frustration of loss after loss this year. We got our number one pick, lets leave the tanking in the past where it belongs.

We are now tied for 6th (with Sac). The teams below us Cha, Orlando, Washington, Cleveland, Phoenix. Phx, and Sac made moves today so hopefully those moves work out for them. Charlotte and Orlando will take some serious sucking, but I think we are up for the challenge. Gordon is doing his part for the team.

**Purple Haze** · 02-20-2013, 10:16 PM

No reason to tank at all. We'll end up 6-8 pick regardless like this. And that's ok.

**nolaslim213** · 02-20-2013, 10:18 PM

I think we can end up below Washington and Cleveland. Both have played better since their PGs have returned. Phoenix is a crap shoot, although they did just make a trade to improve, and Sacramento is in the same boat (just made a trade to improve). I can see us falling in the 3-5 range heading into the lottery if we keep losing the way we are. I'm cool with that seeding.

I'm thinking it's time for Aminu to PF...no, not power-forward, point-forward.

Good point. 3-5 should land us one of those sg's or even Smart. Add any of those pieces and trade Gordon to a team holding two firsts and Yahtzee!

I said it last year, I'll say it this year. Play hard every game.

Everything else will take care of itself.

We can always trade back

There are 3 guys to tank for Olidapo, Smart, McLemore.

Guessing you plan on trading Gordon? as 2 of those are SG

**UNO Gracias** · 02-20-2013, 10:37 PM

I would trade Gordon if the top 3 were Larry, Curly, and Moe.

Now this---- I wanna trade.

This whole idea of rooting for losses, however logically you want spin it, is goofy and backwards.

If you want to root for losses to get a better draft pick, then, I'm sorry, you just don't enjoy watching basketball: you enjoy winning. Go play a game with cheat codes to get happy, then come batch and watch your team, win or lose.

Also, I read every single one of Eman's posts because that is one smart guy who was raised right.

Quote if you agree.

I wanna lose so we can win in the future. Nothing wrong with that

I'm not rooting for us to throw games. I am saying games like tonight are "losing the right way" staying in the game but losing as the other team is better. I am sure some guy on our roster improved from tonight's game.
