    We're Tanking!!!

    How else do you explain Kenny and Eddie coming down with phantom injuries during half time?

    Seriously, they were not injured during the first half and all of a sudden, TMo starts the game in the 3rd quarter.

    Bill and Ralph did not know that Kenny and Eddie were "injured":rolleyes: until midway through the 3rd quarter.

    I saw Eddie limping after he came down after jumping for a rebound, so that one wasn't phantom.

    Well, if we're going to tank, we should be resting Steve and Cat. Eddie should be getting as much playing time as possible.

    having the "wizard" on your lottery-bound team and playing crunch time minutes isn't unlucky . . . it's just stupid

    there is no way a guy like rudy would tank. he has too much pride and professionalism to do so. you think the actual players and coaches think about lotto positioning and ping pong balls when they play?

    of course not.

    Talking about injuries, any word on Oscar? I thought he was out of the injured list, but he hasnĀ“t been playing. Is he still injured?

    You are joking right, Rudy was part of the tanking process when we were trying to get Olajuwon, he has tasted from the sweet nectar of the tanking fountain before.

    Of course we are not TANKING on purpose, but why not be OVERLY cautious with our players and let them remain competitive.

    As for Steve and Cat playing so many minutes, it is clear that they can't spoil the tank season on their own. They are good enough to keep us competitive, but not to win too many games.

    We are currently in 6th place in the lottery...with a little luck and a Cleveland win tonight we will move up to 5.

    Tank ..tank...tank...shake your booty....shake your booty...tank..tank.....

    I saw Griffin's injury happen near the end of the 2nd quarter last night. It was the end of a play on our offensive end and he just tweaked it a bit. He was stretching to feel it back on the defensive end a few seconds later. Nothing wrong with being overly catious.

    hey MM: try anyone besides Wizard. Everyone knows what the Wizard can do (dribble the ball out of bounds off of his own foot while under no pressure) and can't do (board, play D, move around the court without looking like he's going to break into 5 pieces), and he is not part of this team's future. So try playing: Torres, Mobley (with Mooch at the point), Langhi . . . any of those are better choices.

    And as far as the first part of my post . . . the "wizard" shouldn't even be on the team in the first place.
