Stop rooting for your team to lose to get better draft odds

[dtgold88]

i dont even care if the CAvs get #1 or #2 or #3

just get a litte luck and get in the top 5--- even 5th is fine. Please.

and must stay top 7 it seems. Obviously the more combos the better chance to stay top 7. would hate for them to start with 6-7th most and fall to 8 or worse.

I actually think that tanking is not really a problem at all because it’s done to make the team better in the future. Also the NBA’s plan to not give the worst teams the highest picks is also dumb because it just keeps them bad, tank or no tank. Obviously the NBA thought this was a solution but the ratings speak for themselves.

A much larger problem imo is the stars all sitting out, faking injuries, not caring about the regular season for the most part. It use to be the veterans would rest, and the stars would still play. Now it’s got to the point where the young stars are resting or don’t care. If the players don’t take it serious, why should the fans?

I think cutting the games down to 30-40 games would make each game so much more exciting and important and would actually increase the ratings by a lot.

30-40 seems harsh, but 72 every year sounds better than 82.

It doesn’t matter what I think at this point, tonight will make 14 losses in a row so the thunder are obviously committed. Dort came back and almost played well enough to win a game so he hit the injury report again.

Thunder signed Charlie Browns son today on a 10 day, that’s where we are at the moment.

Thunder: Hold our beer.

[thunderc]

That would be Charlie Brown Jr

 

[The Q]

That would be Charlie Brown Jr

wait, is that his actual name?

I thought that was a joke nickname lol

 

[thunderc]

No that is his actual name and he uses the Jr, hence I assumed he must be Charlie browns son. Thunder signed him to long term deal.
