    Winning this would not be good for our lottery stance

    The problem with not being good and not trying to tank!

    I know tanking is the word right now but I hate losing!
    I want this team to play to win.
    I want this team to get healthy and play as well as they can.
    If they lose so be it. I just want them to play hard and play to win all the time.

    I find it hard to root for them to lose while watching the game. I had the same problem last year. However, I can quickly appreciate the benefit of losing should it happen!

    Win win!

    Trendon Watford could probably have an absolutely amazing career overseas. He has a lot of basketball skill and IQ. He’s just not athletic enough; too slow and doesn’t jump high.

    Now it looks like Jabari is completely out of the rotation, even with so little frontcourt depth. Did he run over Chauncey's dog or something?

    He kind of seems like a player that can thrive here in the right situation. Really smart player.

    Sheesh, Dame might not even get 40 at this rate. Off night.

    Anybody not called Lillard. Actually, scratch that - I forgot I wanted us to tank - so, anybody called Lillard.

    What Cronin has done with this roster is completely unforgivable

    Just looking at Bol's legs I can visualize them snapping and it makes me wince.

    If Dame can forgive it, who are we to judge?

    Having one (injury prone) center in Nurk and no legitimate backup has to be one of the worst GM moves ever
