Everything 2021 Tank

What's really going to be wild is if the Raps get back to the top of the mountain after a single down year as opposed to GSW, who are going on two down years in a row.

For all that people complain about Siakam's salary, the Raps don't have that much money tied up in their stars. Steph, Klay, Draymond and Wiggins combined cost the Dubs $125 million a year. That is Golden State's problem.

I really do hope and believe the Raps will go down tonight because when are finally locked into the 7th draft slot we might, just might, see the return of all the starters for a couple of games and watch them rain down holy hell on Dallas and Indy to end the year.

I would like that. Makes some sense also to puff up the trade value of everyone right before the season ends. Let all teams see a healthy Kyle doing all star stuff.

I could see it going either way. Obviously would also suck to have a player get really hurt too.

I suspect we will see some let up on the rest/injury management stuff for the final two games if they lock in though. Not a full rotation, but a guy or two for each game.

Pretty wild that we thought about the best we could would be to finish 7th and that's exactly where we're at, and we even got some competitive basketball out of the deal and seemingly avoided the true stink of losing.

They've lost 4 in a row and are 2-8 in their last 10 and losing again tonight....if that's not a true stink, you either have a head cold or haven't been paying attention

The organization is trying to lose. They are sitting on a nightly basis 2 to 4 of the top 5 players on the depth chart. They are bad. That’s the plan.

What point are you trying to make here.

[MixxAOR]

we could get 8th. but guaranteed top 10

[GOLDBLUM]

Very likely we get 8th.

Similarly likely that we get top 4.

Funny that it’s significantly less likely we actually get 7th, despite solidifying seventh last place.

CAN’T YOU CELEBRATE MIX?
ISN’T THIS WHAT YOU’VE BEEN AFTER SINCE WEEK TWO?

I am happy though lol

Ha... when your first post just said “very likely we get 8th” it had a very palpable tone of your trademark:

It’s finally over.
The Panzer is parked and done with.
Hopefully so is Tampa, not that they didn't roll out the carpet.
But it’s not home.

That was a hell of a sacrifice for the organization, the players and the fans to make.
Lets hope the balls bounce our way and we come away with a great young talent.
Go Raps.

[GOLDBLUM]

They did it.

Everything's going according to plan.

Made it down to #7.

As was writ.

Tampa didn't roll out anything, our players were being heckled by the "home team" fans.
They would have been better of playing in an empty gym. Good riddance to Tampa.

I hope we get some semblance of the normal lineup for the last two games. If Kyle does leave we have to send him out on a good note.

The public at large is just that...

The City of Tampa-St Petes and the Lightning also put up a pro arena to share.....
They converted a hotel for a walled off campus like setting to live in and practice in if they wanted to.
And its a warm weather destination
They did what they could when the Raps got jammed up and asked.. We could have played in Montana

But your right and its not home.
Hopefully we get our act together soon and next season will be played here in front of fans.

Go Raps.
