Tanking

[Strenuus]

If we go 7-1 or 8-0 the rest of the way, I think we’re in. But that probably isn’t happening.

Take out probably.

More like nfw. I am glad too

I'm not sure what "I'm out" means when you continue to post here every single day.

Look I call the Blazers out when they make bad moves and give them credit when they make good moves. Loved Cronin haul in the Dame trade and most of his draft selections. Hated many of the other moves as well as the overpaid vets we collect. When the team is in year 4 of heavy losses and 12th/15 teams in the conference without any young future star player to to build around that seems completely justifiable for me and many others to heavily question the franchises strategic directions.

If you want to always look on the bright side putting flowers and rainbows on a pile of crap that seems as stupid to me as people who only look at the negative side.

"I'm out" means "out of this conversation." I made my point. People were going off on tangents. It was no longer a worthwhile investment of my time. I addressed one point and a couple of posters -- I guess you were one since you are quoting me here, it wasn't that important to me and I'm not going back to look -- IIRC were either using separate topics or amending their arguments to I presume try to score some points. If that's what you were doing, hey, whatever blows your skirt up. Either way, now that you know what it means, I'm out.

Eric! What's happened to you? Have they finally broken your spirit?

You never had to try, you're a natural loser.

Yeah. I mean, I think we can catch Phoenix but catching Dallas is another matter.

Discuss:

Mods removed it?

The best anti-tanking solution I’ve heard is a system where the lotto team with the most “upset” wins (beating a team with a better record than you when you play them) get the top odds. With this system, Toronto would pull out all the stops to try to beat us next week. And we would have incentive to beat GS and LAL instead of intentionally losing. Only problem is, do the players care about lotto odds?

I am just stating facts. Against all odds weird things happen in the draft. Even LeBron recently pointed out these anomalies on the mcafee show.

Against all odds weird things happen every single day.

Maybe the earth is flat and the moon landing was fake along with these NBA deciding to fix drafts so a bunch of #1 picks go to Cleveland, with the diabolical goal of most of them being busts.

The amount of people that would have to be in on fixing the NBA draft? Plus attest firms certified it that have way more revenue than the NBA..... Ok keep believing tin foil hat ideas buddy.

I am not saying the whole draft is fixed just pointing out anomalies warranting scrutiny. I am actually a scientist and I scrutinize data for a living in my spare time when I am not responding to ad hominem attacks on s2. I will play your game: since you believe in all sports you must think the wwe is real. That is how your accusation towards me reads. You sound like a LAL fan claiming the Luka trade was fair because it happened.
