Doncic’s troll face is going to be a top three NBA meme by mid 2019

This was a classic tank trap game – home against a bad opponent coming off a draining win the night before.

Thankfully Fiz saw it coming and negotiated it expertly, leaning on the veteran experience in the team to build a solid deficit, and letting it run out just far enough to make it too much for our young guys to claw it back in a fun final 15. Top marks.

Yeah, that was a big time loss.

Man, watching Doncic eat the souls of the Rockets…the Hawks are just so, so dumb. The Kings aren’t too bright themselves for taking Bagley, but at least he’s a legitimately good prospect. Choosing Trae Young and a pick over Luka was just such a laughably dumb move.

I mostly agree, but I’m curious what mechanisms the league has to enforce not tanking beyond the strong recommendation that they change the front office.

The tank job in Chicago is disgraceful and Silver needs to step in. Silver needs to form an anti-tank committee to evaluate situations like this and heavily discipline teams who get caught. Chicago gave up 92 points in a half at home, and then lost by 56 points in their own building to Boston? Lauri Markannen and Wendell Carter Jr played under 20 minutes a piece, so it’s not like they’re even trying to develop young talent. Teams who throw games to improve their lottery odds should be disqualified from the lottery that season and should not pick before #10. As far as I’m concerned, Chicago should be picking 14th. It’s not okay that teams like us get punished for trying to compete and develop talent when organizations just decide to roll over and burn entire seasons for multiple high draft picks.

The 7 foot euro who we all like but who might secretly not be the superstar everyone thought

To be fair, only the Thunder thought this. That’s why they’re still paying Melo.

It’s kinda bizarre how the rosters of both the Bulls and the Knicks are pretty much the same structurally. The 7 foot euro who we all like but who might secretly not be the superstar everyone thought, the overpaid chucking SG who can’t play defense and is just young enough for people to still believe he can turn out to be something, a very promising rookie center who’s an impact defender… and then a bunch of assorted young dudes, bad old dudes and reclamation project dudes.

Lauri and LaVine are younger than our dudes, but it’s pretty eerily similar (and equally as bad I guess)

Play.
The.
Kids.

That’s all this season should be about. Tim, too. Maybe Lee to get up his trade value. And Vonleh. The rest can go now.
