2024-2025 Tank Race

[KqWIN]

We are seeing the exact same thing. They will be like 4-18 and 7-8 games out of the play in and just decide to punt. Their team is like a 50 win team (on the top end) if completely healthy and they have the two of the least reliable "stars". They are cooked.

I think it will be a little difficult to convince their players to be on board…but a 4-18 type record will go along way in inducing hopelessness. I think when DJ comes back they won’t have completely punted yet. All hope for playoffs will be over, but hard to tell 5-6 players to quit on their entire year in real life. It’s definitely something easier said than done.

The apron trade rules kind of suck and I hope the NBA does away with them.

Apron rules are fantastic for a team like the Jazz. Old system of punishing spending with more cost was so advantageous to big spending teams.

Over the past 5 games we have had the 6th best record, 10th best offensive rating, and 19th best net rating.

Not great for the tank

Have to trade JC. When he is hot, he definitely hurt the tank.

We need like 5-10 more minutes of Cody Williams. Having him as a starter was pretty helpful in tanking those lineups. Need no Juzang and 5 minutes less of JC so Brice can play. Time for DA to lock in and help pull the plug.

I thought winning games was impossible without Kessler?

I think last game Juzang was a negative out there. It seemed Hardy put him on early and once he saw Johnny aint hitting his shots today he went with Cody instead, who shoots less and defends better.

I'm telling ya... Hardy isnt 100% committed to the cause.

Yeah, Juzang's defense seems really bad to me.

Yeah, Juzang's defense seems really bad to me.

In my eyes its kinda on/off. He has good stretches but also massive lapses and matador moments.

We are doing this wrong, what the actual ****?? THREE wins, already? With the 6'ers letting everything slide and winning the race. This sucks. They will end up with another top 3 pick to put alongside Embiid and we will try to find ways to praise an over-achiever at pick #9 yet again. **** me.
