I think Hardy being in on this tank as blatantly as he is is dangerous business. Losing culture is definitely creeping up on us and its gonna be hard for Will to demand hard work and accountability from the players when he coaches to lose.. The question then becomes can he flip the switch...

Not only is Hardy blatantly in on the tank but Kessler and Lauri are with him there as well. Everyone is trusting the filter.

I think your third sentence is where your vision is blurred. Even most guys who were hugely in favor of tanking have said that they hate this way of conducting business. So while they root for losses, they dont think there's anything "great" about it. But it is what it is... you play by the...

I literally came here today with this same line of thought. Tanking this way next season just isnt feasible. The kids are gonna be better collectively, unless if we botch this next draft and force minutes to guys who are worse than the rooks this year. We dont even know what we have in...

What a lame attempt to twist a bad take around and try to downplay those who saw the vision. No one praised his play last year but some saw potential in him that we could unlock and that playing with Trae in Atlantas system always limited his development So stfu and eat your crow.

I guess I ddint recall correctly then. :)

Tanking properly has drawn out all sorts of justice league fighters from whatever rocks they were hiding under. They all feel like they are standing on the high ground because their cause is just, but fact is they werent here when they didnt have anything to whine about, which absolutely...

I'm in on the Harkless hype train. I want to see a proper run with the varsity team. What must happen for him to secure a 15 min role in the rotation?

TU needs to step up his troll game. We have a serious contender here.

I remember owning the largest property on the John Collins island when owning lots there was generally frowned upon. @Elizah Huge and @Saint Cy of JFC were also there IIRC.

Lmao at "blaming the era". That works for Wilt who played against part time basketball players who sold shoes for their day time job, but thats such a crappy argument otherwise. You play in the era you play in. Like take prime Shaq and put him in 2025 and he would probably be considered a...

Johni Broome in a 2 point OT loss to #7 Alabama: 43 minutes 34 points on 15/28 FG (2/4 from 3) 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 blocks, 3 steals Only 1 TO and 2 PF

I think the main point is you need to get lucky / make correct scouting reads. Tanking improves odds but top talent exists outside of top 5 as well. Current KIA MVP ladder top 3: SGA 11th pick Jokic 41st pick Giannis 15th pick So the 3 best players in the world right now were not even valued...

Ehm.... I never argued ANYTHING you try to counter here. I just simply pointed out that nearly every champion was bad in the decade leading up to their championship. Thats a fact, not a debate, idiot. So no, I'm not moving the goalposts. Putting dumb *** ideas like "we are good to go because we...

Yeah you think the records set by the others were against "the best of the best". No. Of course you get your best stat games when the opponent offers the least resistance. Lets not be idiots and pretend like Kessler was the first center ever to play such a game.

Toronto plays in over half of those games lol (11 to be precise)

The article was interesting but it sets a picture that we are hell bent on tanking in 2026 which does not fit the flexibility narrative that the FO has pushed a lot over the years and also executed in how they manage the cap and veterans (keeping the best ones around). I doubt the FO is fully...

I remember seeing few charts at the end of 2024 that showed him being one of the best prospects based on some offensive advanced stats. Ar that point I just thought it was a stat anomaly.

How about looking at it from this perspective: Among the last 20 champions, there are only two instances where a team won a championship WITHOUT spending any time in the bottom 5 of their conference in the preceding 10 years. Those two are 2014 Spurs and 2011 Mavs. Even the Celtics who...

Raptors are now obviously more committed to tanking than they were earlier. They played their last game on Tuesday and in that game they closed the 4th quarter of a close game with their 2nd unit and sat down Barnes, Barret, Quickley and Poeltl. Now their injury report looks like ours. However...
