Tank 2024-30

[Wizard Mentor]

Blazers are 2-5. Losing close ones while developing our youngins is the way to go. I don't think we'll be able to compete with the Jazz, but we're on our way. We tied for 5th worst. However, I expect the Bucks and the 76ers to win enough to pass us. So, we're effectively tied for 3rd worst.

good post....good thread....questionable tank image

has anybody ever considered that when people first starting using the term tank to talk about a half-deliberate losing season, they didn't mean this kind of tank:




but rather this kind of tank:

Watch Out! You might see this speeding across MLK on the way to the Moda Center. Billups at the tiller.

When the Pelicans are doing a better job of tanking you’re doing something wrong

Blazers in sole possession of 7th worst in the league.

7.5% chance to capture the Flagg.

will we have some surprise tankers this season?

Philly is 3-13 and New Orleans is about to go 4-15 (and are rumored to be still shopping Ingram). And both teams are racked with injuries. Philly owes their 1st to OKC but it's top-6 protected. Will either of these team decide to shut things down if they keep losing?

Can we just change our name to Tank Blazers?!? Pronouns "It" and "Shit".

Ant and Ingram on the same team would be one of the biggest lols ever. Let's just say they have issues.

So was last nights game so blatant that we must now bring out the shameless attire?

I assume Philly and NOP will get a few guys healthy and at least be in the playin range. The East is so open even if Embiid is out most the year they probably can get up to that level late in the season.

NOP could be more interesting if they end up a dozen games from the 10th spot or such I suppose they could shut it down. Would be similar to the Griz last year. The west is super deep so we might see the 10th team with a lot of wins.

it took 46 wins in the West last season to reach the play-in. If it took 46 this season the Blazers would have to go 39-23 the rest of the way to get 10th seed. The west is even deeper this season so, probably, 43-44 wins would be the threshold. If it's 44, the Blazers would have to go 37-25 the rest of the way. That ain't happening. Right now, they are on a pace for 30 wins

further illustrating the WTF-are-they-doing? situation of still having Simons-Ayton-Grant on the team.

Seriously, stop whatever you're doing and listen to runitbackphilly on youtube. It's absolutely therapeutic.

Good News: Scoot is shooting 32.0% from 3 on 3 attempts/game. Could see him improving to league average.

Bad News: That's better than Ant, Sharpe, and Deni, who are all taking >3 attempts/game.

I'm here for it. Nobody cares about those losers. Do what's right for the kids and their genius mother.

And if he's over 34% you have to come out and guard it.
