    Team Tanking The Best

    I think after tonight, this award has to go to the Cavs. They recalled LUKE HARANGODY off the D-league squad, and immediately STARTED him tonight.

    I repeat, LUKE HARANGODY STARTED AN NBA GAME

      Big win for the Cavs tonight to get that 20th win !!!

      Helps the Warriors tank just a little. Going to need the Cavs to win a few more games here down the stretch.

      Detriot, NJ, GS all in a dead heat with 22 wins tied for that elusive 7th worst spot. We need to finish 7th desperately to keep that 1st round pick. It's gonna be real close.

        went to the LAC-GSW game today. Didnt look like they tanked except for the fact Nate at first didnt shoot at all then started shooting then got pulled for a long period of time when he led the team back from like 15 down.

        but they srs made a game out of it.

          Tanking in the sense of management and roster. The lineup itself and how management hasn't done anything to help that roster since the all star break.

          You have three rookies in the starting lineup, combined with 2 opening day starters who were demoted to the bench this year. Beans and Wright have been really bad this year.

          Curry could have been easily playing by now. It took everything for the W's to keep Curry off the court when his ankle wasn't 100%. Now that he has had time to rest it, he could have gotten some PT in. But why risk it when you can lose a pick if you start winning. David Lee was also shutdown yesterday for the rest of the year. Richard Jefferson inflammation of the knee, out yesterday vs. Clippers.

          Granted the players out there aren't tanking, but we stood way more chance of winning games with Curry, Lee, and Richard Jefferson out there

            The Warriors are tanking. If the Warriors get the 1st through 7th pick they keep the pick, but if not they lose it to the Utah Jazz. LOL

                  right. That's why I said it's gonna be real close, because right now GS, Nets, Detriot all tied with 22 wins for that spot.

                  This goes back to Chris Mullin trading a conditional top 7 protected #1 pick to the Nets for Marcus Williams of the Nets. He didn't even make it the entire year with us...lol. The pick then want on to Utah in part of the trade they had with NJ last year.

                  Jazz fans have been super pissed since the derailment of the W's since the Ellis trade. Before that, the Jazz looked to have that pick all but sealed when the W's were only 3 games out of the 8th playoff spot. I absolutely hated the timing for the Ellis trade. We were playing our best basketball of the year. To have management pull the trigger on this really pissed me off So enter the Ellis trade. Shutting down Curry for the rest of the year. Warriors 5-16 since the Ellis trade. Lee is now shutdown. Jefferson shutdown.

                  It's gonna be real close. We own the tie breaker with NJ, they beat us twice. The New Orleans game is a home game and probably the only game W's would be favored, maybe. We did lose at home to New Orleans a few weeks ago. We must finish in the 7th place worst place or below to keep the pick. We do have Spurs 1st round pick from them this year.

                        I would say we were tanking the best seeing as how we've lost 17 straight, but to tank implies that we're trying to lose.
