Try again… look at our starting lineup and start again. We are at like a 5 or 6 on the tanking scale… last night we turned it to a 9… spurs went to a 10+ and then removed the limits. They were just much more shameless than us and our guys made a few extra shots.

This to the nth degree. We turned up the tank last night fosho but everyone else is also doing the same thing too.

Also it looks less bad this season cos the West is so soft we’re still like 1.5 games out of the play in.

But we’re tanking as hard as we can given the circumstances.

People have a line they draw.... if you are on one side of the line... no tanking... on the other side... obviously tanking. The line moves depending on how they view things. I'm 1000% done with the argument. If it isn't obvious or you want to call it something else... go on ahead.
 
Fadeaway World did an article that if every team never traded picks or players and assuming all picks and prospects landed where they did:

Our starting lineup in the scenario would be:
Grayson Allen, Josh Hart, Gordon Hayward, Trey Lyles, Thomas Bryant

Compare that to Wolves starting lineup which would be absolute bonkers offensively despite being one of the youngest:
Anthony Edwards, Zach LaVine, Cameron Johnson, Lauri Markkanen, Karl-Anthony Towns

Easy categorizations are the bane of serious thought.

Did he go back to the point where we had Magic Johnson?
 
Big loss for sure. THe only player with slomo coming from the bench and able to score. Plus they will have to deal at the crutch time with the Rudy way of playing. Could hurt them a lot for sure.
 
Pelicans destroyed a Jokic-less Nuggets, pushing Wolves to 8th, but LAL and OKC are right behind them too. Would love to see them fall to 10th or at least 9th to force two playin games (or, even better, Mavericks suddenly and inexplicably work it out and they end up 11th).

The Lakers/Wolves game tomorrow is pretty pivotal.

Absolutly, play-in game tomorrow, they win it and they have some more easy games coming after that which will probably let them 7th or 8th. But if they loose it, they may ended 10th. I do not believe Dallas will regroup on time but who knows, they have Luka and Kyrie..
 
Dallas plays their next two games @MIA and @ATL back to back (Sat and Sun). They might get eliminated from the playoffs this week.

Do we need to worry about Dallas tanking their last 3? Isnt their pick traded with top 10 protection?

Yes, top ten protected. It seems like they would have far more to worry about from a Luka/Kyrie perspective if they missed the playoffs, so I doubt they tank
