    What's the point of this? "Haha I was right, they suck right now?" Everyone knew that last game. It doesnt make anything you've said substantial nor does this thread. If you think now people will respect your basketball takes ....then LOL.

    One the reasons why I seem to enjoy this organization over any other in other sports is because the fact we dont tank.

    For reference, on December 8th, 2013, the Cleveland Cavaliers had 13 losses and eventually ended up with the #1 overall pick of the 2014 NBA Draft.

    It's not too late.

    How is the lottery now? 1-3 is set by record, the rest has decreasing odds of order 4-11 right?

    Too late to tank for Zion but if we could get lucky and get up high in the lottery, i'd still be okay with the tons of SF's available in that part of the draft including Cam. Of course none of this will happen and we will half ass our way into the 8th seed and a sweep while the national media and fans all laugh at us.


    Im checking out with this team, ill casually just have it on the tv in the background unless a major trade peaks my interest. Won't put myself through another miserable 15/16 season again. We were 12-13 at this point that year and we gutted out 3 OT wins. Were somehow worse than that team.

    People that give up on a team six weeks into the regular season are either Phoenix Suns fans or never skip legday due to all of the jumping on and off of bandwagons each year.
