    i'm thinking this is a concerted effort to tank by mgmt...
    the Wood injury is obviously a huge factor but they havent made any efforts to try even out this roster or contend with injuries...
    obviously the effort isnt there...
    content to let KPJ chill in the g league...
    idk why they came out like they wanted to play - and then decided to dump... unless the Wood injury was the turning point...?
    I still think we coulda snuck into the playoffs this season - if that was our actual goal... but i dont think it is at this point...

    you got yer wish - we're in full tank mode... congrats...

    LOL if people think this is the same team when these predictions were made, isn't even close, so not really serving any "crow"...A fully healthy team that we had once we acquired Oladipo, would have made the playoffs

    I must have missed where no other teams were dealing with injuries or even Covid protocols

    They fell for the fake comeback. Gamethread people know what I'm talking about. 6 game win streak was the long con version.

    I think they did not honestly know which direction they were going at the start, but it is clear now with all this extra resting etc.....they are tanking.
