    I don't get the people who are fans and happy that we're winning right now. It's too little too late and the winning is actually more detrimental then helpful in multiple ways. Our draft pick gets worse, and our coaching staff isn't going to be able to evaluate the younger talent because they're still trying to win a championship we have no possible chance of winning. We should be tanking and evaluating the talent on the team. I'm not saying the players shouldn't be trying to win, but the coaching staff needs to be starting Thabeet, Hickson, and Flynn and resting LMA and Felton so that if we do win games there is something to be excited about. I think Thabeet is important, we need to decide if he is staying or not and if so we need to get him on an Offensive Lineman Diet right away. I still think anyone 7'3 can have an effect on the defensive end of the court, he's just gotta bulk up.

    I watch a 90% of the blazer games every year and I cant sit watching them lose and be happy about it. Ever. I love watching players develop and breakout but im not content to see us bench a better player to give the young guys time. Bottom line is I watch because I love seeing this team play and I love seeing them pull out a win not purposely lose. If we lose because we dont have the talent thats one thing but if we have the talent and the ability to make the playoffs then thats the goal. I expect to see us leave it all on the court until we are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

    Hollinger's playoff predictor had us at 14% to make the playoffs a day ago. Today we're at 11%
