Can of worms.

go chicago (winning by 10), go Lakers (not started yet), go Rockets (losing to NOH). Bad as I feel for us...gotta feel bad for the hornets (hey..that feels very circa december 2011)...they've been destined to be 2nd or 3rd last all year and they're going to wind up in a three way tie for 5th

Nets are smart. Raptors idiotic.
Of course they're going to tank if they have half a brain. We could be gunning for the 4th spot (considering NO is also winning). Now we're either 7~8. If you look at the draft all the players will allstar potential are in the 6~7th spot.
This is probably going to be the defining moment of our future. We either get another player to build around or we get a role player. And don't tell me that DD or ED are players we're going to build around cause if you are then you're delusional.
I'm shamed to be a Raptor fan. It's the same as all Toronto sports franchises. They ruin their future for short-term instant gratification. All they had to do was tank one friggin game!

I don;t mind if the Raps lose if they put in effort, NJ is blatantly tanking. I think it's a disgrace in the spirit of competition. Would I prefer a better draft pick... of course, but not playing the way the Nets are playing. I hope Dwill leaves and the franchise suffers due to the Portland trade.
Perhaps karma goes our way and we move into the top three. I'm cheering for GSW tonight.

A fan should be proud that the Raps went out and WON. A fan should be proud that guys who never got a chance (Alabi, Uzoh, Anderson) went and played to win, and not for a draft pick.

fans have been very patient for so long despite the raps sucking. Its about time BC did something in the free agency or trade.
Uzoh - 45min
Solo - 40min
forbes - 40min
anderson - 45min
how is that not tanking?
But telling your players not to play ball is a strict no-no for me. And I am glad the raps are not doing it. Go watch wrestling if you like winning championships more than playing a sport.

I can admit I was down with the Tank Nation but I hope the ping pong ball gods aka David Stern gives the Raps 5th,6th pick for at least improving their defensive rankings from last year.
And Alabi, straight up beasting on fools like its the D League.
