CP I've been trying to stay quiet, I really have the last few days.. I'm trying to let go of this whole "pro tank/anti tank" bs but damn you just won't let it go...just shut up man. Please.
Just because we don't actively root for our team to lose doesn't mean we can't enjoy a high draft pick.
What the hell do you want from people? To just out of no where start watching their favorite team play to root for them to lose? We've been sports fans our whole lives, we've done nothing but root for our teams to win with passion... But you want us to change over night just because the draft is loaded.
No **** were going to be happy with a high draft pick. Why the **** would that irritate you? We want to see our team win a championship every year, just like you've always said we should expect from EVERY SEASON. You're the one that for years has been saying "every year without a championship is a failure, no excuses."
Now dudes are all delusional and idiots because they're cheering for their team to miraculously compete even though it's obviously not practical.
Why can't you get this through your head? Just because were "anti-tank" DOESNT MEAN WE DONT SEE THE VALUE IN LOSING FOR NEXT YEARS DRAFT.
WE GET IT. If there was one year to suck it would be this one, and we do. Were going to most likely land a top 12 pick. And we're going to start rebuilding with high talent next season
But why can't we ******g root for our team and young players to play well in the present time? Some of us weren't raised to root for losses, regardless of your logic.
You go ahead and watch Laker games and cheer for the opponent to win every night. If that's you're idea of being a fan then so be it, we've already accepted it and were not complaining anymore yet on every page you're constantly throwing shots at the "anti tankers" as if were a bunch of little kids that have no clue what basketball is.
LET IT GO.
Let us breathe. Let us live.
You say you've put us on ignore but your mouth can't stop mentioning us.
We don't wanna ******g root for our team to lose. Why does that bother you? How does us cheering for our team affect whether they win or not? Seriously. How does it impact the game?
Are the anti tankers going to be the reason the Los Angeles Lakers win games they "shouldn't" and end up with a worse pick than you want them to?
WE HAVE NO INFLUENCE ON THE GAMES.
Were fans. All we can do is cheer. That's why my mind is ******g blown that people keep saying stuff like "why aren't you dudes understanding that this is a good year to suck?"...
Uh. WE DO.
But why does that mean we have to sit on the couch like grumpy old men and root for the lakers to lose every night? Why can't we just root for our team to win like we always have in our lives and still appreciate and understand the value of losing?
Don't you get it's a win win for us? If we win and we see development out of our players, we enjoy it... We might see kids we can keep and build around.
If we lose, cool were still in good shape for a good pick next year oh well... Were rebuilding anyways. We GET IT. We're not that mad at the losses, were with you guys we'd love to get a high draft pick as well.
But some of us just don't have it in our blood to watch a 48 minute basketball game and root for the Bobcats to beat us. What kind of ******g entertainment is that?
I just don't get why some of you keep saying we need to be "pro tank" as if it makes a difference on the outcome of the team. Who cares if were pro tank or not!? Were all on the same team here. We want what's best for the squad. Obviously losing helps our draft stock, so we appreciate that. But we can't actively sit there every night and root for losses.
SUE US.
Damn.
Get the hell off of people's backs.
It's pathetic that anyone would sit at their TV set and say "Go bobcats go! Beat us! Pro tank!!!"
But if that's what you wanna do, go for it.
Let us enjoy our way of watching basketball. We have no effect on the outcome were just fans for gods sakes.
Fans that are apparently not as passionate and smart as you because we don't spend every game day excited to root for our team to lose. Were just all such big idiots for not being "pro tank"... Oh god how could so many people be so stupid... I'm too good for this I'm going to ignore the idiots who can't root for losing with me.
Give me a break already man.
Back the hell off and stop with the mockery and constant belittling of "anti tankers."
Funny you comin sideways like this. Cuz ain't it the same?
Wasn't I sittin around talkin, mindin my own business when The Trade machine came in runnin his mouth with "no heart" just like he's done for weeks, on here, on Twitter, probably on his facebook, etc, takin shots at Pro tankers?
Let you breathe, why can't we breathe?
You typin his name? No? Why not?
Oh that's right, because you're on his anti tanking side.
So yes, yell at me all you want. I don't give a ****.
Damn right every season without a title is a failure. THIS SEASON IS A FAILURE ALREADY. We have zero shot to win the title, we already KNOW that. So the entire point of Pro Tank is to maximize this wasted season. If you're gonna lose, lose with a gift. That's my process. That's why it don't bother me to see losses pile up.
Last year, I DESPISED every, single, loss. We SHOULD have won a title last year. We built, to win a title last year. We failed. But last year, we had no pick, so tanking was not an option either.
This isn't about I'm right, you're not, so and so is not, none of that. It's listening to stupid drivel every damn day in here. I'm not tryna here dudes talk about winning it all THIS year with this garbage roster. It's like I said to DWS, yes, the delusional Laker fan label is well and good. Well deserved.
It's funny, when other fanbases run off at the mouth, I go at them hard as hell. I stand there and take shots from them, fire back, destroy their franchise to the best of my ability. At that point, ya'll are lovin me. The other night a mod, A MOD pulled thru here with his trolling after his team beat us. I should be happy about the L, but I still told him to get the hell out of here and leave you all anti tankers alone. When I speak the truth to them, ya'll feelin me, when I say back at you guys, then I'm some *******, jerk, arrogant, etc etc etc. Which is it fellas?
I do me. It's all I can do. I say what I say and I back it up, every single time. I don't run, I don't hide.
Hell ******g no I'm not down with anti tankers all of a sudden getting excited about our draft pick. No damn way. That's bs. I'm going to listen to shots like trade machine throws out all year, so he can stand there and celebrate the 4th pick all of a sudden? **** that.
Like I said, I'm putting anti tankers on ignore. I'm not listening to you people anymore. They can live in their fantasy, "we have heart" worlds. But when reality sets in, I'm not tryna listen to them crawl thru here with their sadz and "who can we draft now" questions. Naw.
People had all summer long to read the writing on the wall. To see the roster set up. To see the "plan" for 2014 cap space wise, deep draft wise, contracts all 1 year, we all could read that easily. It was obvious before game #1 we weren't winning a title. Now I get "we're hoping for a title, we have heart" thrown in my face?
Whatever.
I really don't need anyone to agree, disagree, whatever. I know who looks ahead, who sees things league wide, etc. I don't need the rest of the crap from all those that "have heart" but no brain. Listen to Essential and his stupid trade scenarios all year long. Enjoy that. Then enjoy watching him switch into draft mode in a few months, like he knows what he's talkin about.
