ya this has to be the most extreme tank job ever, also ppl been mad abt tanking tho more the other kind where teams try to lose individual games at the end of the season usually not playing their best player to improve draft position rather than this kind which is done by the gm instead of the coach

other diff (which may be subjective, other ppl seemed not to be as bothered) that philly openly tanked on the court in full view of cameras immediately after that fucking MCW players tribune story, whereas other bad teams that are rebuilding or will have to are just playing poorly, not actively trying to lose or openly not giving a shit

*is that
― slothroprhymes, Thursday, 26 February 2015 01:04 (nine years ago) link
really i wasnt under the impression that philly were purposely playing bad they just have no talent, like theyve been dece at D
― lag∞n, Thursday, 26 February 2015 01:05 (nine years ago) link
of course no one has actually seen them play so its hard to say
like it's a game and we know what's going on but at least try and sell the fallacy a little bit better, FFS. this also makes the MCW trade more baffling is that he was clearly willing to tank on the court and wait it out! (and yes is an actively bad shooter but still)
― slothroprhymes, Thursday, 26 February 2015 01:06 (nine years ago) link
I'm referring most blatantly to MCW's refusal to play defense in the dallas mavs game, the one skill he's legit really good at, also in the first sixers-celtics game I watched he was blatantly taking shots everyone knew he couldn't make to the point where he had to be doing it on purpose unless he's a complete moron (which is possible; he did after all write a players trib story that said "don't talk to me about tanking)
― slothroprhymes, Thursday, 26 February 2015 01:10 (nine years ago) link
well someone has to take the shots and none of them can make them
― lag∞n, Thursday, 26 February 2015 01:11 (nine years ago) link
i mean the fact that philly is not even the worst team in the nba has to be proof that theyre not intentionally losing
― lag∞n, Thursday, 26 February 2015 01:12 (nine years ago) link
kool-aidey attitude of the hinkiehead fans also making me disinclined to feel anything other than contemptuous of the team that once had my fav player of all time
― slothroprhymes, Thursday, 26 February 2015 01:12 (nine years ago) link
they are the worst offensive team but theyre 14th in defense! above average!

the players aren't playing bad on purpose why on earth would they do that

the congratulations he got for the MCW trade were pretty ridiculous. Great job trading your bust!!! So savvy!

it's good he didn't pick giannis, then he wouldn't get a chance at uh.... Thon Maker?
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 26 February 2015 02:01 (nine years ago) link
if he really is a bust then that was a good move!
― lag∞n, Thursday, 26 February 2015 02:01 (nine years ago) link
yes but it's a good move for a GM who should be on the hot seat
