    We know the front office is serious about the tank, but we’ll know exactly how serious they really are on Thursday if they bench Shaedon or not.

    Unbelievable. The coach sat his best player in the last five minutes to make sure his team lost. Why is this kind of thing even allowed in the NBA? Doesn’t intentional losing undermine the integrity of the game and tarnish the NBA brand? Why shouldn’t Billups be fined or suspended for a dozen games? If a player intentionally lost a game to win a bet he would be barred for the season or maybe for life. This kind of stuff makes me sick.

    makes me feel icky but had to be done after the win in Minny. the new in-season tournament might minimize this sorta thing moving forward.

    I came for a tank and a basketball game broke out.

    I think it would be more subtle to bench Mays. He's defintely not as good as Sharpe but if he is out the other team can just focus on Sharpe.

    I doubt the call came from him. I don't think he's wired that way. I'm betting that Joe called down and that's the last we'll see Shae play this season. It's scary that you can't seem to see that we are playing for next season... even when we are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

    He tends to think he's Hakeem Olajuwon.

    I actually think the other team focusing so much on Shae is why he needs to sit to secure our lottery spot. Shae attracts to much attention and makes the right play too often. He's the only guy on the floor that has any sort of gravitational pull on opposing defenses. I guess we'll see though.

    I hate when the press asks a question everyone knows the answer to.

    We need to sit Eubanks and Mays also against Spurs.

    Cronin is a lot better than Olshey at finding decent scrubs. He was almost too good at it tonight
