Its Time to Tank

SoberasHotRod said:
What we really need is more @Handlogten's Heros talking about how the tank is dead and how we will be competing for the 6 seed. We've gone on a 4 game losing streak since then.

We appreciate your reverse jinxes in advnace.

No reverse jinx at all… it’s the truth… we winning 7 straight… OKC is in range now and we play them again. Tonight is a 20 point blowout and we running the table from there… may eff around and get the 5 seed. The tank is dead and buried… the shovels were donated to a local landscape company and everyone has canceled their summer vacations cuz there is unfinished business. Ainge was sent to a local mental facility and locked in a padded room and Ryan spent the last few days hanging out with Vivek and whoever owns the Wizards and they explained the virtues of going all out for the 8 seed. Ryan prayed about it and felt like it was the right thing to do. He even put in an order to manufacture a play in championship banner at the local trophy shop.

It won't matter. SA's lineup is such trash. Their best rotation players will be Tre Jones, Doug McDermott, and Zach Collins (who could foul out in the first half).

We need to give Walker a covid test and just say he has the Rona and can't play. 48 minutes of Dok and Jones is the only way. Maybe Malaki Branham has like 40 or some ****... but even with no Lauri, Sexton, JC... this is a big fat L.
 
You reckon Ainge has had that talk with Lauri @h

Yeah but if they sit Johnson and Vassell they don't have a lot of NBA players left on the roster. They cleaned house at the trade deadline... sent out Poeltl and Richardson.

McDermott is a bench player for them so his minutes are limited. The line of the game is currently Utah -4... A late scratch of Walker Kessler is the only way we lose. SA committed to the tank for the whole year... doubt they let us out tank them tonight.

Yeah, it's hard to see us losing to them, even if we sit Walker. They are fully committed to the tank.

Tbh - it looked like it was really hurting him when he was playing. I’m okay with them taking it easy with him.

They should not take any chances right now. Shut him down. No need to risk surgery in the off-season.

I honestly don't even know what the real risks or real injury is... a hand contusion just sounds weird... so I'm making jokes.

Like this is a hand bruise right... how was it good and then bad... like do you aggravate a hand bruise... is something sprained... its just a weird one.

Hand contusions are pain. I think the biggest risk with them is u start intuitively avoid not hitting it/have weight on it.So if falling down or **** like that... Might end into awkward landing bc of being cautious of the pain.

EDIT This from google search:
"Most bruises aren't serious and will go away on their own in 2 to 4 weeks. But sometimes a more serious hand injury might not heal on its own. Tell your doctor if you have new symptoms or your injury is not getting better over time. You may have tests to see if you have bone or nerve damage."

I think the worse has over-ruled - Lauri would not have been there against Suns if it was not. But there is that real risk landing awkwardly if being too cautious of the painful hand. And we all know Lauri falls down all the time c defenses are vicious against him. If he was a igger star he would have fifteen FT's a game.

Lauri season is over as is Colin one. MAybe we will see JC one or two games if our position can't change. Strange season, we play well 70 games and finally set ut the tank. We see on draft night the result.
 
Yeah, just sit these guys the rest of the year. Unfortunately I don't trust these other guys to not win 3 or 4 more games.
