Added to Calendar: 03-15-24

If you are going to wait to tank like this then you have to get real gross with crucial games. We needed to draw attention or a fine with how gross we should have got… oh well.
 
OKC will get the pick, and that's fine. Teachable moment for diaper Danny, like these developmental minutes for players are good teachable moments.
 
One thing to note is Juzang's shooting last night was outside his norm. He bricks a lot of open shots in the G League. If he could hit the 3 consistently, he could be an NBA player, but that can be said for a lot of people...
 
Well he is my favorite player, what a stud! I was just messin with ya though, not sure he’d really fit with my Kraken theme anyway. :p
I just wanted to make sure you knew I wasn’t a Johnny Come Lately. It’s hard not to love Collin. I’d imagine people that don’t like him also hate puppies and are pro-cancer.
 
Also hard to understate how tough this win is on the lotto odds. Atlanta has like 5 winnable games left we have like 4… there will be surprises here and there but I bet we end up tied with them. I don’t necessarily care if we end up 8, 9, or 10 but losing the pick after our tank efforts would be tough.
It would be incredibly painful but luckily we are already seeing the benefits of the tank with Hendricks and Sensa. There is no way Hardy would have given them more than scraps if we didn't force his hand and would have no idea how to view them going into the offseason. Now by the end of the season we should have a pretty good idea of what we may have in them and build accordingly.

Yes, you make an important point here. FO wants to know what they have in Brice and Hendricks in case they have to decide whether to keep them or include them in any possible offseason trades. For me personally though, I would be hesitant to move Sensabaugh or Hendricks before seeing them develop another year. But then again, it would also depend on the deal of course.

Not at all a hater, though. . .
It was just so random… but also 6-2 guys don’t reverse dunk on baseline drives… this one and the fastbreak bounce 180 thing he did was so random. Both times it just caught me off guard.

He does not brick a lot of shots in the G. He shoots in the high 30's. Thats a damn good % on his volume.
