Ha! lol smh

Now THAT I don't believe. This team's drafted too much like the Warroirs. Only our GM is responsible for that...

Oh and our coach liked Trae too, if you listened to the way Bob and Nique talked at the Hawks membership party.

I've heard that Lloyd's guy was Mo Bamba. That's who he wanted but was overruled.

Some believe we are targeting Young, maybe even at #3

It was a win, and that win may help one of these G-Leaguer's get a chance on another team at some point.

Not talking about for the players. They have a reason to want to do well evotime they step on the court.

Talking about the fans. We should care more that one of these replacement level players shows out for other teams than improving our odds at a good player in the draft?

The data is all out there that proves teams who win less than 25 games struggle to climb out of that hole.  

Ok and we still only won 24. So winning the Boston game didn’t matter according to the stat you provided.

I’m still waiting to hear a positive from beating Boston’s JV team.

There is no such thing as a meaningless win.  Every win has meaning, and it does you more good to win than lose.

And that is where most will disagree with you. How does that 1 Boston win help us big picture? You’re telling me the players are walking around saying, “Man at least we won 24 games instead of 23. I feel so much more confident now.”

There was nothing that will come from that 1 win against a team with 2 injured stars and resting other players before the playoffs. How would we be worse off if we lost that game? Will Bud stay because we won?

If we were talking 10-15 games, yea I can see your point but 1 game here and 1 game there doesn’t make a bit of positive difference. It can prevent this team from drafting a guy you like(Doncic).

How much better is our culture because we beat a depleted and resting Boston team in the last week? You’re saying that win boosted our morale? Doesn’t seem like it.

That one win cost us having sole possession of the third-best odds in the lottery.

I get not wanting to lose but once you’ve reached a certain point you do nothing but hurt yourself by winning(with no benefits coming from the meaningless win).
