We will probably end the season a .500 team

Which would be a shame. If we aren't competing for a playoff spot, I'd rather tank the season. If we don't get healthier in December and go on some type of run, they might as well throw in the towel b/c we would be too far behind to make any kind of run towards the playoffs in the West.

if we get healthy soon we should be fine. we are currently only 3 games behind the 8th seed. with 70+ games left it's not panic time yet. now if we don't get healthy in the next month I will harm myself and everyone around me

He did look really really good.

Not that I want us to tank, but

we aren't really out of the playoff picture yet.

In NFL terms, we haven't played 2 games yet. We are basically 0-1 and trailing at the half of our second game. Tons of season left to play.

If we still can't play over .500 when Reke comes back then we can start to panic.

Right now the 7 seed in the west is 4-4 and a 3 way tie for the 8 seed at 4-5.

We only need to make up 3 games on the Jazz, Suns, Wolves, Blazers, Grizzlies, and Kings and we are the 8 seed. We need to make up 4 games on the Nuggets and Mavs to make the 6 seed.

Calm down.

Some of you don't understand how tanking works. It's not scheming to lose, it's roster managing to lose. You can't both hit the reset button and NotWinForBen and be in position to be a playoff team next year. You think AD will be happy with the team after it misses the playoffs for 2 seasons on purpose?

You know the point where CP3 said he was out? When the team traded Chandler because they weren't willing to wait for such a big contract to heal. it doesn't take much to turn a good situation bad.

ummmmm expand the nfl playoff field to match the same percentage of nba teams that make the playoffs and I bet the results look much different.

You don't risk things over a literal lottery chance.

A culture is trying to be established and tanking is the antithesis of culture building.

It's already getting tiring seeing so many threads about something that will never happen.

It's literally as simple as sitting guys out, man. No one has to get traded at all.

I would have liked to see him be more aggressive with the ball in his hands tham what he was last night, especially against McNeese State. But, it was his first college, I have no doubt he'll be great. Dude is smooth as hell.
