They just beat Minnesota, a woefully pathetic team, but a team that had no reason to want to lose. They do not own the rights to their own draft pick, New Orleans does. Yet, they lost to one of the worst rosters in basketball, the Warriors. Warriors haven't been tanking, they just have a ****ty roster coached by a guy who has 0 coaching (Head or assistant) experience. They just flat out suck. I have actually been surprised at how close they have been able to keep some games.

Is their FO tanking? Maybe. I believe Curry's being held out has been legitimate, but the injuries to Robinson and Lee have been somewhat puzzling. Regardless, I still think Jackson and the players who are allowed to play are still giving 100% effort to win, they just suck.



But holy **** do the T'Wolves suck.
 
Ya they pulled from behind I quit checking the score when they where down by 14

TOTAL BS. They are tanking but they even suck at losing. Y'all have your little morality party .. I'll stay with reality and hope they suck at tanking one more time.
 
The league threatened the Warriors players and FO that if they didn't start tryin to win games they'd assign Jerry Sloan to their team.

Scared straight program works.
 
Let's see if they win another game out of their last 2.
Even then , that wouldn't prove they weren't tanking earlier.
 
They're tanking, it's just that it comes from the FO, not from the head coach. You don't tank by telling your players to lose games, you tank by saying to Mark Jackson "I want to see what Mikell Gladness and Mikki Moore can do if you give them each 35 minutes a game. By the way, David Lee, Dorrell Wright, Steph Curry, Andrew Bogut, and Nate Robinson have all suffered mild concussions."
 
"Tanking" comrs from the organanzation[not the players] putting the youngest and/or worst possiblle ineup on the court to lose games it doesnt mena the players were told to play badly..

Players arent purposely tanking..guys with their nba careers on the line arent saying lets purposely lose this so the Warriors can get a lotto pick next year..

Would adding Mikke Moore add to the case of tanking or not tanking? Dudes sucks, but it shows that the Warriors FO was actually trying to add a smart veteran to balance out their extremely young roster.

Would pos rep but got you already earlier.

As the team matures we will get better on the road, It's scary how good this team could be with another nice piece in a few years.
 
The FO definitely wants that pick back this year. The issue is that Brandon Rush is playing for his next contract, Richard Jefferson is playing to prove he can still play, Charles Jenkins is trying to prove he belongs in the league, Mikki Moore wants to get back in the league, etc. These guys have an opportunity and are playing for their lives.

Is Rush in a contract year? I wonder if we could sign him for cheap this off-season. We need some 3 point shooters.
