That theory has worked out well for the Clippers (until this year) and several others who constantly tanked and miss the Playoffs.:rolleyes:

They were poorly ran as well though. They didn't tank to get better through the draft. The Clippers made boneheaded trades and FA signings to try and get better but they never had a true plan. It kind of just fell into place by itself the last couple of years.

Minny is starting to look much better now and they've built through the draft.

OKC sucked for 2 or 3 seasons before they finally turned it around. But they are reaping the benefits of it now.

Could have been much better though. They had a chance to really bury Miami early.

That sounds familiar. He is the best player talentwise in the game, but the ball dominance is not fun to watch.

Offense is going through LeBron. As soon as LeBron sits Miami is going to be worthless.

He might play 46 minutes today. Wade isn't doing shit once again.

Yeah, it looked like Udonis went over the back but he got the benefit of the whistle.

I flipped the game on for a minute...so two layups by the Pacers, then a touch foul to get things back under control. I will just check this thread for the score...i cant watch that shit...it is ridiculous.

Bron comes down and throws a forearm directly into Dahntay Jones' chest DIRECTLY in front of the ref, no call. Dahntay retaliates with a shove(that Bron flopped like crazy on) and gets the foul called.

Fucking hilarious
