    That play was textbook to why they changed it and stop allowing that. Punishing a guy for playing defense? Trae threw himself into Tou. That was some cheap shit.

    Still lost though, so there is that.

    They do have plenty of time to lose though.

    I'd love to get Snyder to be our coach.

    I can't. It's not in me to root for losses. If they lose I'll accept it, but I won't root for it.

    I wish I could put you on ignore. You bring nothing to the forum except for these incessant troll posts that take all the fun out of following the team.

    Grant can stay as long as he continues to take a backseat to Shaedon. I never want to see Ant or Ayton again. Cronin must see what we see. Trade ‘em or keep them on bench with made up injury/illness.

    The defense has been way better without both of them, and yes as you say gives Shae/Banton/others much more opportunities on offense.

    If we were a contender I'd consider thinking of trying to get them to buyin to a lesser role. But there's no way they will happily accept a back seat to Sharpen or someone having a hot game like Banton. They both delusionally view themselves as one of the best players on the team.

    I mean, I've never brought anything to the forum. I've been worthless this entire time. Lol. People hated me when they think i trolled while we were winning and People hate me when they think I'm trolling while we are supposed to lose. I get it, I'm the common denominator.

    Real life matters now. People I love are about to lose their rights. So forgive me if none of this matters but a mere distraction, and there are way more things I'm passionate and interested in than this team.

    Pretty much, consider me as not posting on the game threads and will stick to ancillary threads. (Which pretty much I'm not posting in much anyway lol). I'll do y'all a favor. You're welcome.

    This isn't worth my energy this season. I'll see y'all next season when hopefully we have a direction and an actual shot at something - anything.

    Hold me to it. I'm only human.

    No one won. No one lost. I just don't care. See yall next season in the game threads.

    It’s just a game folks, we all have different views of how to get there. I was in the trade Dame camp for a few seasons and it wasn’t very popular. I know continuing to “tank” is probably looked down on by roughly 60-70% and I’ll admit I wanna win when I see the kids playing like this, I want them rewarded. However if Joe is being stubborn on his prices for Ant/Ayton/Grant and we don’t get to see this kind of basketball then I hope we do continue to tank, even though with them playing I think it’s just called losing. It would really be nice to snag one of those top 5 kids from this draft. I’m sold on Sharpe and Cling but even adding a VJ Edgecombe, let alone Flagg, would be insane for our future.
