    Those players need that humiliation to drive them to better heights.

    Show how a real TEAM plays the game.

    Agreed. Either they compete with Golden State which leads to confidence, or they get blown out and the humiliation leads to new determination. Screw this 12th pick crap.

    You can't teach experience and these games could help with the younger players but also Harden if he steps up. I don't care if they lose. Rather have them play hard in the playoffs and try then talk about what useless pick we will select this offseason.

    Playoffs. It's always about winning without playing the system, being the best you can honestly be. That's why I was never upset with the Francis/Mobley years, they sucked but they were the best they could be.

    Voted for playoffs. We're going to need to show free agents that we are competitive if we're going to sign anyone worth while.

    However, I accept that there is a good chance we'll get totally embarrassed and swept.

    I just don't see what the value of a 14th pick is in a weak draft especially given the duds we seem to get in the past.

    Playoffs is a waste of time. You guys not seeing the bigger picture. Give me the draft pick and get started on making changes to this roster starting with firing Bickerstaff.

    It's all about money. Seems like people think they would even consider blowing the game tonight for the lottery. Think about it, 4-5 games vs Golden State brings in a whole lot more money than the "excitement" of let's say a 10th overall draft pick selling a dozen jerseys by riding the bench next season.

    Draft pick and it's not even close. My heart would prefer the playoffs, but my head knows we're going to get washed and that a lottery pick is much more valuable
