    How many 8 seeds have won a title? Our chances of winning a title....in the long run....is better with a higher pick than being the 8th seed

    There's always a first time!

    Look at the Knicks when they went to the finals in 94 (?)!! Or when the Nuggets beat the #1 seed, or the Warriors did!?

    THIS COULD BE OUR YEAR! BELIEVE HARDER! LEARN THE GAME THEN POST!

    sincerely, Kingspeed.

    Also, since the Warriors can't guard us, we should score like 200 points on them. How many times have THEY scored 200 points this season. 0. That's right /kingspeed

    And exactly how would you have gotten the team to lose these games?

    Ask the players to throw them?

    Not play hard?

    Maybe never play Nurkic?

    Ask Dame and CJ to fake injuries?

    You really want players to that either throw games or lie? Because that's what you're asking for.

    That's because he hates contact. Why Stotts hasn't kicked his ass I will never know.

    I'm not sure I'm the one that needs to learn the game
    I just answered the poll question. It wasn't my question.

    It was 0-0 at the start of the game, and now it's 100 to 95.

    You're the one who brought it up. I'm just saying that this team learned more about itself in winning with Nurkic then it did worrying about ping pong balls.

    They should send him to D-league for the rest of his contract.

    OK, we learned that; now let's earn a better pick by losing 7 straight!
