Troy Daniels with the tanking play of the game, 5 second violation and Lillard wins it with .9 seconds to go. Finishes with 40

Wow. A tankjob of EPIC proportions. Why the hell was Daniels inbounding the ball there? I assume the play was for him to end up taking the shot?

YES! PING PONG BALLS. Epic come-from-behind loss.

I just want to be on the record saying I wouldn't pay Payton more than 8/year.

Heady tank play by stealth tank MVP Troy Daniels.

Just curious why both seven footers were on the bench for the last play ... either or both might have helped on defense.

I think this one goes to Triano. He is leading the charge on the tank. He put it our D-Leaguer of the week to finish the game. It really paid off.

At this point I can't even be bothered to learn their names. :)

Triano has to be gone this off season. The end of this season is going to go so poorly that the players just won't care. It will seep in and continue into next season unless we have a whole new coaching staff. Hell it might seep in anyways but you have to clear house after a tank this bad.

Kinda sucks for Triano but he seemed unsure if he wanted to be a head coach and will probably easily get another assistant job.

He is definitely an improvement over the D-League guys but yeah I'm with you on this. Even then I'm not sure I want him locked up for a lot of years.

I would be just as happy to let Booker run point and Knight at shooting guard.

I guess when you're tanking, this is as good as it gets. I was rooting for the win but the last second loss wasn't so disappointing since it helps our draft position. The guys played great tonight. That 5 second violation was a huge mistake but our team showed glimpses of a fun future.

I'd pay him an extra million a year to lop off that atrocity. I bet his shooting would go up at least 10 percentage points.

Did you guys see Bender passing on a wide open layup under the basket to kick it to the corner for a Chriss three (missed)? He even ran to his basket without looking if the shot was hit.

That's ok when you are GSW/SAS/PHX 7SOL (Boris...), but come on Bender, you are averaging 6ppg...

I was trying so hard to keep my "Homer" pick in Fantasy , felt like it's good karma to have at least one Suns player on my team but I had to give up on that lol

At least Lillard was a class act at the end of the game and didn't taunt the fans... Just kidding.
