Guess the tank fetish crew were crying in their beers last night.

Or do you think maybe it's because at the moment, giving ourselves a better chance of landing a high pick increases our chances of climbing out of this mess long term? |

I believe that this type of fandom, cheering for losses within the first few games of the season, every season, like clockwork. Did not exist before the internet. The lottery was around for a long time before it got here. No one would care 10 games in, no matter how bad the team was, because its a crap shoot, and it has nothing to do with the game. Now the rules have been changed to make tanking less profitable. Makes one more amazed that this talk is happening again, in the first few weeks of the season. |

I was once like you, and it used to annoy me people calling for losses, but what changed for me wasn't the Internet it was the new CBA- it's damn near impossible to build a winner without high picks (either to trade or use). I genuinely hope this is the last losing season we have, I miss being in the playoff race so badly and the new lottery odds system makes it even harder to land a top pick, but I just feel we need one more top pick in addition to what we already have to take a giant step forward |

Do you believe logic didn't exist before the internet? The 1990 Nets, 1084 Rockets and 1987 Spurs are all looked back on as having tanked. You don't think NFL fans of bad teams understood the implications of their seasons win total when Manning and Elway were on the board? I have a hard time imagining because the internet didn't exist or team sports forums were still in their infancy that Colts fans didn't realize the implications of the 1996 season and were indifferent to getting the first draft pick. |

Was not a fan of drafting Knox but he will get better and is coming off an injury. I don't like that he stays on the perimeter so much, but that maybe due to his ankle not being 100% yet. It's probably also hard finding your role with all of these other young guys being so assertive and trying to prove themselves (eg Vonley, Trier). I see the ssme hesitation with Mario at times, as he doesn't seem to know what to do if he's not handling or cutting when the ball is in the post. I do think both will show more as the season goes on, although I'd be more worried about the confidence of Mario as Knox is young and has time to develop his confidence. Should have a better sense with our players around March. Gotta feel good about Trier, MRob, Hardaway, Vonley and even Mudiay seems to be improving somewhat.
