    Such a good GIF.

    Hey I want us to win this year but if we don't at least we get a lottery pick.

    Thank gosh we're not the Lakers, Nets, Knicks. Could you imagine losing boatloads of games, having a chance at a top4 pick and it goes to another team?

    There will be no need for a tank. There will very likely be plenty of losses without TRYING to lose. Look for growth, development and leaders.

    Exactly, plus the league rarely rewards the obviously tanking teams. Philly will never get the number one pick, but I could see us getting lucky again even if we win like 30 games if they keep trying, look at Cleveland with Irving and (lol) Bennett.

    Thanks for posting this GIF, I somehow lost it in a computer crash last year and couldn't find.

    I don't really want to ride the tank, but I do like the idea of experimenting on things this year that you normally wouldn't because they would lead to losses. Like:

    Dame working on tough PnR passes that end up leading to turnovers now, but may be money in a couple years;
    Harkless, Aminu, Leonard, Henderson taking as many open threes as they can get;
    Plumlee leading the break, and passing out of the middle of the key (love this one already);

    If that gets us this, then that's okay:

    They won tonight but the struggle is real.

    They fought hard to beat the youngest rotation in the league.

    In some ways, Minny beat themselves. There were some ugly shots -from both teams- in the 4th.

    And CJ went into hero ball when Dame was hot.

    If you mean the metaphoric tank, as in the Blazers are a fucking tank and they are gonna steamroll the NBA, then yes ride the tank.

    It occurs to me that 6 games into the season the Blazers have already achieved 20% of HCP's predicted win total of 20 games. Might be a good time to recheck the ouija board there, big fella.
