Need some shooters tonight to step up. Chicago averaging only 92 points per game. Oh, I forgot, we're suppose to be tanking.....NEVER in my book!!!!TP I find it refreshing that I'm not the only one still cheering for wins :)
excellent job as always FL. First one to give you a well-deserved TPThank you for the kind words and a TP for being the first in the thread!

Thank you Neurotic Guy. I think you are more the majority than those who are still cheering for wins. I understand that lottery positioning is important and I don't blame you for rooting for losses. It's just that the lottery has never been kind to the Celtics when they had the second worst or worst record. Looking back at the lottery, the 5th worst team has gotten the top pick just as often as the worst team. I see how hard the players play and how down they are after losses and how happy they are after wins and I just can't cheer for them to lose. But, I don't hold it against anyone who does.Need some shooters tonight to step up. Chicago averaging only 92 points per game.

Hope you know that the thread, and the work you put into it, is still appreciated even by people like me who are rooting for losses.
Most of this year I avoided posting on the game thread because I thought it wouldn't be in good taste to root against the C's on the thread. The last few games it's felt more 'OK' to openly root for draft position here. Hope that's alright with the true diehard rooters.

LoL. ...
Gonna be tuff watching Bass after watching Randle . :-[
Just like they drew it up. :D
Man, Brandon Bass is just awful.
who's driving the tank today? :-X
Bradley not ovelry impressing me with his defensive shutdown skills of late.
Bass - worst hands in the NBA? Only person off the top of my head (5 seconds of thought) that was worse was Fab Melo.
Sign and trade Bradley.

Scares me man, I like the winning attitude but we've come too far in the tank to win a few by accident... I'm scared for our tank out of the other teams in our position we play the hardest and have the easiest schedule.. April may ruin us

well it is obvious we are not sitting starters which is just plain nuts this late in the season. if we end up losing a top 5 pick over this nonsense then we shoulda just made a blockbuster trade for a proven star if we are trying to really win now. sigh.

DA needs to have a talk with Stevens these games are too close... we're about to play bottom feeders all month if we win those games we lose the tank in the last month... for what? We've come too far
No Rondo tomorrow in Chicago should be a guaranteed L... it's the rest of the season that scares me

I don't think it'll kill the franchise, It would be pretty foolish to rely on the draft to save them.

Agreed... I like that the team plays hard but management chose the tank route and we need to put our all into that not mess it up with less than 10 games left... if we have our starters playing both Philly games for example that'll be a disgrace

getting too close for comfort now it seems.

they aren't relying on it as a savior, they stockpiled draft picks for future trades, but losing major value on this pick would kill the franchise's long term hopes of contending for sure.

I don't think they'll place any higher than the fourth worst record, maybe third if they're lucky besides it's more likely they'll slip down a few spots in the draft rather than just staying put or moving into the top three.

I agree, they most likely end up 5th if they don't win too much in the last 8 games. Still, 5th means the odds of landing in the top 3 from the ping pong balls is much better, and in this draft teams will very likely pay more to trade for the 5th pick than the 7th or 8th. Teams will want Smart, Randle, or Voneleh, not so much the guys who will be around after that. If Embiid somehow falls out of the top 4 from his back issues, the 5th is also a huge pick.
