Royjr9 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 On 10/22/2018 at 3:50 PM, AHF said: I'm worried. On paper they seem like they should be fighting for the 8th seed. This will kind of cement Love's legacy for me. Is he empty numbers or can he really drive a team to success? In fairness playing with osman does insult the intelligence of many. That guy is not good. Hood needs to pick it up as well. I think a better line up would be hill, korver, hood, love and Thompson. Collin, korver and nance as reserves. But I think the narrative and the actual product are miss align as lue wanted to play the veterans over some of the youngins who management wants him to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted October 30, 2018 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 It is pretty obvious Cleveland is blatantly tanking to keep us from getting that draft pick. Now they are going to sit Love for a month for a phantom foot issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah....this is blatant tanking, and they're going to be rewarded just like they were the last time Lebron left when they were gifted all those draft picks that also didn't want to play for their trash org. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you think there is some NBA conspiracy where the NBA chooses to favor smaller TV markets over larger ones, I don't see any reason to think that they will be "gifted" a bunch of #1 overall picks again. They had a period of good odds combined with extremely good luck. They could get lucky again but no reason to think that past results of a random event predict future ones. For karma's sake, I hope they eat it with lower lottery picks for a while. 12 hours ago, Sothron said: It is pretty obvious Cleveland is blatantly tanking to keep us from getting that draft pick.

Cleveland isn't the typical small market team. Between football and baseball they're basically America's underdog. So I definitely think the case to make the conspiracy argument is there..... In this case though, I'm just one of those people who likes to take digs at Cleveland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience is there is always a conspiracy argument to be made regardless of the facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB21 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Love is having surgery on his foot. The Hawks weren't going to get that pick anyway, but you can definitely kiss it goodbye now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
