    Rudy T actually had his coaches look up the rules for fouling out with only 5 players. Did you know that you can still play even when you have 6 fouls???

    Wow...I did not know that!

    So, did Jonathan Feigen ask this question about the rules, or did Tomjanovich offer the quote freely? Why are they talking about what happens if the team fouls out?? Now that is some Deep Tanking, 'eh paso2x?

    Hey,

    Rudy knows how important it is to get those lotto balls, he was around as a scout the first time the Rockets tanked to get Hakeem.

    Rudy is WELL aware of the benefits of "the tank"

    hee hee. I've actually played in an official game where we only had 4 players. Adrenaline just takes over.

    I want to believe that we're tanking on purpose, but if we're actually trying to lose every game, then what the hell happened in Dallas?

    At the time that game could be won, and we still could get the 5t pick. Remember that was after Cleveland and NY won a game.
    It opened the spot for us to try to win one.

    Yeah, well we'd be tied with the 4 pick right now if it weren't for that damn win...
