You're the one talking about tanking mode when we've won enough games already to take us out of that equation. This team will end up winning about 35 games this year. I said the tanking may have begun. MAY have begun. Anyway I accept your apology now let's move on please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicOne 119 Report post Posted January 20, 2019 Got them right where we want them now. Down to single digits heading to the 4th. And we have all the momentum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicOne 119 Report post Posted January 20, 2019 That's ballgame. Sometimes you fight hard and get all the way back and never get over that hump and take the lead. That's what's gonna happen tonight unfortunately. Magic used everything they had to make it a game and now Milwaukee is pulling away again. A great effort though to remain in the game and fight despite the probable loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t think we’re going to tank as an organization. At some point, we have to drum into our players heads that they need to play their hearts out to win every game, and not a nod/wink that it’s ok to lose games to get a better draft pick. I do believe current management and coaching understands that. However, if/when it appears playoffs are unlikely, and we’re getting closer to that, you’ll hear a lot of people in this forum calling for us to lose every game left, if history is any guide.

I don't understand that logic... The players in particular wouldn't tank. It's their jobs that will be lost.... Coaches aren't the only mf's to get fired....

Coaches aren't the only mf's to get fired.... We’ve had plenty of losing players who’ve been with us a long time. The players won’t try to lose but when they see players being kept out for unclear reasons, weird lineups from the coach, and an atmosphere of people calling for a tank and rooting for them to lose, it affects them. It’s one of the main reasons I was against tanking from the very beginning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bank on the last part of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
