CTMagicUK 1,460 Report post Posted May 4, 2021 Yea I don't really know what we can do to tank anymore than we tried to here. Cole only played 21 mins Gary Harris only played 10 WCJ only played 19 We signed Brazdeikis like 2 days ago, played him 32 mins and he was actually pretty good. Mo Wagner lead the team in minutes. Like how do we tank any harder than this? RJ Hampton and Randle were both good. Bamba got buckets even though he was getting torched on defense. The Pistons didn't even try and win the game at the end. Down 6 with the ball and 30ish seconds left they didn't even call a play and let Diallo dribble around until he bricked a 20 footer. We just got out tanked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,460 Report post Posted May 4, 2021 To be clear a lineup of 28 year old 2 way PG Chasson Randle 19 year old rookie who was a pick in the mid 20s RJ Hampton Recently waived in his second year in the league and signed like 2 days ago Ignas Brazdeikis 4th NBA team in 3rd year in the league Moritz Wagner And gets torched in pick and roll on every possession Mo Bamba Played 16+ straight minutes to close that game out. And we still won. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Better DJ & Photographer 450 Report post Posted May 4, 2021 Let's face it, we just suck at tanking. We'll have to rely on luck to get one of the better picks. 2 in the top 10 can't be all that bad anyway! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman 57 Report post Posted May 4, 2021 Our best hope is to get some ping pong ball karma for not tanking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hootie249 293 Report post Posted May 4, 2021 I only want the number one pic because i don't think they can screw it up this year. The most important thing is picking the right player. If we had picked Shai-Gilgis Alexander during the Bamba draft this could be an entirely different team today. It's not even hindsight. We were coming off a year where CJ Watson,Shelvin Mack and DJ were on the roster. Only DJ was signed and he had been hurt alot. Then we picked up McW. We needed a point guard that draft. Once we missed out on Trea they panicked and just went with BPA and their weird fetish for length. In short, they better get the pick right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
