2025-2026 Tank Race Prediction Contest and Current Results Thread

I still don't understand why anyone took baby Ainge's response to the question of whether the team would tank, or manipulate minutes, at face value. Andy's question basically painted him into a corner - there's really no other answer he could have given. Remember, a few years ago Mark Cuban was fined over half a million dollars, not for the Mavs tanking, but for admitting that they were.

I probably wouldn’t have nearly as much if I wasn’t hearing in the Best Buy parking lot that Austin didn’t think they needed to tank and had a bit of an “eff the pick” attitude. Danny thought he was crazy… and then I remembered hearing that Danny Ainge really wanted Fears and Austin talked him off that ledge.

There is some tug of war in the front office when that happens decisions get delayed and teams straddle fences. We will see if they keep the foot on the gas.

Tbh, Nepo was way quicker to pivot than Danny. I don’t really care about the truth behind the curtain as long as we’re doing the right thing. And we’ve done a lot of good lately.

Really upset our young guys have been limited on their Svi time though.
