2018-2019 Tank Thread

[Cavsfan1985]

Yep the Bulls have decided not to embrace the tank. Cavs should end up with in the third spot.

In a way the year could not have played out better for us, we sucked so bad that it allowed us to be in a position to get a top 3 pick, the front office was willing to blow it up and get assets, we gained a ton of assets, and took on no long term money. Plus now that we have a top 4 lottery odds pretty much locked up and Chicago playing week and a top 3 fully within reach we can actually enjoy a few win the rest of the way out. There is no way to get into the top 2. I don’t see us beating any playoff teams really down the stretch as they all fight for position. As long as we stay in the top 4, top 3 preferred it’s not a bad year.

Quit winning games.

Quit winning games.

Doesn't even really matter now. I think we can be pretty confident in being 3rd place on the race to the bottom.

I disagree, we won’t catch phx or NY, the key is to stay infront if Chicago. We can win as long as they do. I would love the team to win more on the way out and keep ahead if Chicago. Unless another team like Atlanta just quits it’s between us and Chicago for the 3/4 spot. If we see development from the young plays and that’s why we win so be it if we get the 4th spot. The odds of Zion don’t change much from 3 to 4.

With what we had to work with before the season I am shocked we are sitting as well as we are.

The young core is starting to put it together
Two first round picks in this draft another one in 2021

6 second round picks over the next few years. I would hold on to those....if the rules are changed and there are no more one and dones there will be a much bigger pool of talent.

At some point in the off-season JR will bring another second round pick

TT and Clarkson will have value over the off-season or before next trade deadline

And we still have Love who is a borderline all-star player...they are not easy for a team like cleveland to go get

nice job Kobi

I feel guilty and dirty all over. I'm actually pulling for our guys to win games. I'm rather proud of the fight they've shown and enjoy seeing our young guys improve before our vary eyes. Does this make me a bad person?

Nothing more important for the Cavs than a Japanese fanbase.

Take Hatchimal!!!!

Do you think if we draft Hatchimal we start serving Shark Fin Soup at the Q?

If anything, they should start selling Sapporo Black Label beer in those 650ml bottles or better yet, the mini-kegs you used to be able to get from a vending machines on the side of the road. LOL!!

I don't mean to be mean, I know you are from Japan, but Sapporo is just not good beer. That's about the meanest thing I will say about Japan, and I am sorry, lol. If it makes you feel better, I know Bud, and Miller, etc is bad beer too, but we do now have excellent craft beers in the US.

Oh man! I love all Japanese beer! I don’t take any offense to you’re comment. I was on Okinawa and drank a lot of Orion beer there! All good shit! LOL! I miss the mini kegs though..

Another loss closer to Zion!

 

[CavsFanJapan]

NYK’s won 2 in a row and we are only 1 game behind them. Didn’t think it would be that close and we play them next! Is this a must lose to tie?

Is there anyway to tie this game...I don’t want to win and I don’t want to lose to this rabble...we need like a mercy rule...after 4 OTs just call it a tie

Yep, an opportunity for the Cavs to make some progress.
