If it hurts morale then it kinda does.

I get the desire to tank. I understand it.

But I feel like you're missing the plot when you get to the point where you also want these dudes to be psychologically beaten down.

Hopefully tonight's game goes just like the one in Detroit went

Keyonte is so damn good

I'm gonna just have to laugh if Hendricks doesn't play tonight after a career high scoring game. Would be hilarious

With Hardy it's more par for the course. He makes interesting decisions on playing time.

Kevin Love -16 in 3 minutes. That's impressive. Brice also got pulled after 2 minutes on the floor.

Keyonte got into a heated discussion with one of the assistant coaches after coming off the court not sure why

Playing Flip+Hendricks at the 4/5 isn't actually a tanking move.

Speaking of TH, seems like Hardy is rewarding him with a night off for his career high performance.

This lineup we have in is mind boggling

I keep picturing Ivey on our team next year. He would be an excellent match with Keyonte

 

[fishonjazz]

Sensabaugh sucks tonight

Sensabaugh sucks tonight

Unfortunately Brice has been mostly disappointing this year after a great preseason. He looked primed for a breakout, but it just hasn't happened.

 

[MTS]

Kind of excited to see what this team can do when it has actual rim protection next year.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

So Detroit drafted Cade #1 in 2021, then Jaden Ivey #5 and Jalen Duren #13 in 2022, then Ausar Thompson #5 in 2023, followed by Ron Holland #5 in 2024.

That's four years of abject tanking to put together what they have now.
