About our forthcoming pick in the draft. Every loss now makes the pick more likely. Oh boy, another fun rookie to watch.
 
I don't know if this is sarcasm.

smh, this forum. lol
 
Hopefully unless we draft another big white stiff who hacks at people.
 
It's only a matter of time before Matthews and Batum are benched for the year with their injuries. Hix will be traded. And Aldridge will quietly stop trying. Lillard will have lots of big scoring games and Leonard will have one 20/10 game that gets everyone excited.
 
I'd be excited b/c the draft looks pretty deep at the two positions we need help the most: SG and C. And there are some pretty interesting 2nd-round projections for backup PG (Westermann, Nedovic, Kabongo, Wolters?).

Gobert/Westermann/Doug McDermott wouldn't be a horrible draft with the 12/39/48 picks, would it?
Or Olynyk/Nedovic/Mbakwe, if you prefer Zags to Frenchies?

A lot of leg room means something to you and me, but to Leonard? The dude is a foot taller than me.

True but one of my executives bought one (not turbo though) and he's 6'5". He said he could push the seat back far enough that his feet can't touch the peddles.

Interesting. Porche owners probably demanded that they could have sex with girls who always dreamed about having sex in a Porche.

You're right, let's give Damian, Batum and Aldridge back.

All I'm saying is that throwing in the towel now would cause more harm than good, and that intentionally losing even one single game just to get a few extra ping pong balls is never a good idea. Worry about draft position once draft position is established. If we lose because we suck after an injury or after a trade that makes our future brighter, so be it. More ping pong balls should be small compensation for supporting a losing team, not a goal towards which to strive.

Completely agree.
 
It's not necessarily throwing in the towel. It could be simply putting the goals of winning long term above winning short term. So, use the games to focus more on improvment than on getting the W. And play those who will be here long term more than you might otherwise. YOu don't have to throw games, you don't have to ever have the players throw games, you simply change the focus. There are a bunch of areas that could be worked on right now which might result in more losses but over the long haul will translate to more wins.
 
We will know if the towel has been thrown after the trade deadline.

No one is suggesting to "intentionally" lose every game, but instead be realistic - we ain't winning anything this yr, so we play our young guys a lot more and see if they can improve and stop wearing our starters out. That will result in more losses and us keeping out pick - a plus, in addition guys like Meyers-Freeland-Barton-Claver get more time and we see if they have any worth or not.
This is just smart and common sense, it does not create a losing culture, but looks more to next year which frankly should now be the focus.
 
This team LOVES those cars...... LA, Freeland, Dame, Leonard all have one.
 
the Panamera is such a weird car. From certain angles, especially from the front, it's beautiful, but from other angles its downright ugly. I think a 140K car should be pretty from all angles. But I guess thats hard with sedans. But Jag, Aston Martin and Maserati all have gorgeous sedans.

Yeah, that's true - it does look odd from some angles. But Jag, AM, and Maserati have all had some blunders - not ALL of their cars look good...Jag especially has put out some hideous sedans...especially over the last 10+ years. This is Porsche's first stab at it. For looks I'd probably go with the Aston Rapide, but the Porsche is probably the better car - and cheaper, but not as "prestigious". I thought it was going to be a tragedy when I first heard about it, but when I saw it it exceeded my expectations. And it's certainly better than both the Cayenne and Boxter. And it's a hell of a lot nicer than the multi-million dollar Ferrari station wagon:

And I probably shouldn't even mention Travis Outlaw's ride...

Travis' car was ugly as hell! The inside had an XBox and monitors...... looked like a space ship! But it made me look like a rapper! Feel free to use this as your new wallpaper.

The way you're squatting in that last photo, you look more like a crapper than a rapper.
