So - realistically, of course - we should chill out and watch these kids play.
They may play very well together *gasp*.
Imagine if everyone insisted Denver tank after the Carmelo trade?
That would be a damn shame.
This is why tank-talk drives me nuts.
Folks, that was a fine evening of excellent basketball.
Damn fine.
Keep an open mind, and enjoy a win yo.

A LOT BETTER without Gay, but this team isn't going anywhere if we continue being average and Ujiri and Leiweke have already said that they will not stand for mediocrity. Mediocrity in the NBA means being a bottom feeder playoff team that gets kicked out of the first round every single year or a fringe playoff team. This is what this team will be if we don't try and attempt to get a great prospect in the NBA and develop him along with our current young players. That's the only way we will ever get better in this league; through the draft especially this year. No one on this team is in any position to recruit any good players to this team. Your view is not a realists. This is the cold hard truth that you guys have to accept. Don't be ignorant. We won't go anywhere with this line-up. We beat a pathetic Lakers team that just got Kobe back. We beat 76ers team that is intentionally tanking hard (for a good reason). We beat a depleted Chicago's team that has lost Rose and is also hoping to tank. We got absolutely trashed by the Spurs. If you want to be mediocre, that's your opinion. And I enjoyed the win. You guys are so short-minded. Stop thinking short term...
We both agree what we've seen means nothing - wouldn't an open mind be wise then?

It seems like sports fan always assume you're either on one side or another.
The only thing I take issue with is the certainty and self-righteousness frolicking about this forum.
Sports are always an educated guess:
If you're not constantly watching, evaluating, revising, then you don't know shit.
If you've already made up your mind, you are not doing those things.

What are you talking about?
We are not talking about the same thing.

From a pro-tanker's POV, I'm not worried about the current winning. Masai trades any one player and this team is toast.Twitter - @thekid_it
