I don't think I have ever seen a tanked up game than what this team committed today. I mean, great for the tank obviously but holy crap. That last two minutes was something else.
Between Clarkson's terribly bricked free throw after going a perfect 10/10 from the line, Randle throwing up a half court buzzer instead of an outlet pass to DLO for the 3, Heck, Saric even tried on his team near the end.
Just a very depressing game to watch from both sides. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

Honestly, the Russell shot was pretty questionable.

The young core does not know how to close out a game. No one has that mamba-killer instinct. |

Until the NBA does something about it, that's how it's going to be. |

You are giving too much credit to both squads. |

Until they replace the lottery with the wheel this is how it will be. |

It's hard for me to believe the players would take the dive? FO,coaching yes, easy to see it, but players? is it in the job description that players must lay down when ordered to/ |

Sixers are totally blushing. We showed some tank moves even they hadn't seen. |

If they are given orders too by their coaching/FO? Yeah. Sixers were a prime example of this last year. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

Not playing Young was more obvious then the last 2 minutes of the game, we would have won had Young played. |

That was a choke job not a true tank move by the young guys. |

Yep, I think so too. Only 4 made 3s tonite, vs 10 on their side. And supposedly they have no shooters. We were in need of some swag tonite. |

I guess they really think there is a franchise changing talent in the draft. |

It was as blatant as I've seen in the past three years. |

And what about that Randle heave? Clearly a tank job type shot! So obvious! |

Walton was tanking by removing NY.
But, the players were absolutely trying hard. They just stink. JC and Randle filled up the box score and we still couldn't beat a scrub team without its major players. Depressing... |

Yeah there seems to be some confusion or denial on this board about how bad our young players actually are. There was no tanking going on here, they're just not very good.
