    You're right. I saw him play in the olympics, but not in the preseason.

    Tankers are the same people who would have given 1/2 the team for.....

    Dwight "my leg felt dead" Howard and Andrew Bynum DNP bad knees even AFTER the Rockets signed Asik.

    That is so not true. Davis's defensive superiority just jumped off the screen. It's like comparing apples and giraffes.

    One thing about Davis is he was shoving from behind and holding behind the scenes quite a bit during rebounds. The kind of guy you want on your team if he can get away with it (the type of stuff the commentators referred to as 'veteran moves').

    Not true, I have jumped on the tanking bandwagon and it is actually made up of a mixed set of people with differing views and beliefs.

    Even our ideas of tanking are different, me I want us to use this year to give experience to our younger players on the court and tank via them having to deal with some loses like that but develop their playing for the next season/coach. Others just want the team to lose games to get a higher draft pick because they don't trust the talent we have now.

    The way I see the season going, McHale, won't play or develop any of the young rookies well enough that they will be viable save Jones due to chasing the playoffs and the team may or may not suffer for that.

    Expect to see Lin and Douglas on the court together more often then you see Lamb or White individually.

    You are wrong, once again. Most of us want a top draft pick over an injured star that threatened to walk to Dallas if traded here.

    Keep reaching though.

    Hey tankers, now that we got Harden, get out of clutchfans with your loser mentality!

    We are in it to win it, not to lose it losers!

    :confused:

    A Harden type player (Shabazz) was the guy we wanted to get. The goal of tanking was to get an all-star caliber guy. No one wanted to see us lose. It was an option since morey could never pull off this type of trade before this.

    Now that we no longer have the Toronto pick, we have to tank harder than ever.
