I will wait to see next game against Cavs. I believe we got talented guys in our roster and I'm even ok with Tolliver go in for 5mins and hit 2 threepointers. We are on a bad hole, but I think something needs to click. If we lose to Cavs I'm done and ok with tanking tho.
I suggested this two weeks ago. It's not a tank, it's a rejuvenation. Let Anf, Skal and Little play at least 30 minutes a game. Limit Lillard and CJ to thirty minutes. Introduce a new style of play that can be used at times; it would just add to what we have. Of course it would involve more ball movement and different type of player movement (towards the hoop!) I'll leave that part to Bones and others to elaborate on. Figure out how to involve your most efficient player (Hood) in the offense more. Don't practice stuff we are good at already, like iso and pick n roll. No preparation for other teams. Just practice the new offense, practice fast breaks and also fundamentals, defensive technique, setting screens, taking charges, the fine points of passing. Bring in a couple specialist coaches just to work temporarily on skills and to brainstorm with the old coaches.Work on Skal's ball grip. If certain players like CJ (and Bazemore and Whiteside) can't flourish with the new offense, trade them as soon as possible. Coach should try to set up some kind of system of accountability. If someone can't deal with that, trade him. Do I think this is any more likely to happen now than two weeks ago, NO.
As I said before this team does not need to try to tank this yr, with our injuries and overall load of crap talent we brought in this last summer it comes naturally and our coaches ineptness seems to be more tank fodder
Yeah, I think you sign Melo because you're giving up. He's the best way to look like you're still trying yet almost guaranteed to get worse.
OK, I'll take this back. If he can teach them how to pass as quick as he did tonight; he'll be a welcome addition.
So in this thread we have the following. Trade Lillard & CJ for KAT to rebuild. Cut CJ because he's so bad that Jeff fucking Teague is better than him. Force tanking on Lillard. Always rest Lillard the last 4 minutes of the 1st and 3rd quarter. Which I get the logic behind this one. But one of Lillard or CJ is going to finish those quarters. As Simons is clearly not ready. However this should've been done last year to give Curry more of an opportunity. He's a far better overall basketball player than Simons is right now. Then we have the @swish3 nba2k tactics. Force Simons to take 15 shots a game. Force CJ to take less than 15 shots a game. I know I'm missing some of the crazy posts. This thread should be merge'd with the meltdown thread imo.
Sucks for you ..tanking is never an option in November..as a fan it's not an option period. I'd love to see it punished like fake flopping
Sure they do....intentionally losing builds a losing culture....it's a bullshit move in competitive sports no matter how you spin it....the draft is a crap shoot anyway...you start tanking your best players will start demanding to be traded
They are not equipped to win games for the next few months. It's a tank without really trying to tank. Still a tank though.
Play to win and win as much as you can...take the pick you earn and if you want a higher pick....trade up if you can...but don't EVER intentionally take a dive...it's cowardly..Nas and Ant are going to learn a lot more from playoff experience than crapping out for a lottery pick..I'd rather see Moses Brown and Jason Hoard develop as well....we have young guys that have talent..build them for the future
