    The last couple of games, he's showing some life out there. I like watching him evolve and grow.

    Tanking without blatantly tanking.

    We're tanking with pride.

    Most of our starters should be bench players

    I'm watching my father-in-law wither to dust from cancer. I hope MM is okay.

    Really? read Below...





    Cj has proven to be a decent starter even if we could use him more as a 6th man. Point you keyed in on the point yourself. We are only 20 games in. Not even a quarter of the season. Cant expect guys to turnbthe corner overnight.

    And why cant we trade up to get that pick again? Why do we have to lose to get the pick? Why cant we take the pick we have and trade along with a guy or two who doesnt fit with our team and move up in the draft. Sooo many options. Its not all about losing....

    Yeah, if you're judging fans then you need to wake up.

    See, I think no one is judging those who think we should tank... however I think the ones who want us to tank are the ones judging us who don't and are more optimistic.
    The last month or two, it seems there have been many more posts from those that are pessimistic calling the optimists out in a fairly harsh fashion. Calling us delusional, etc.

    Im just calling you out because you said you didnt say something when you did. All good though. ;)

    I never said that you specifically need to wake up. I said that fans who are judging other fans need to wake up, so apparently you self-identified with that group :devilwink:

    Back to the 7th pick, with the 5th in striking distance.
