Note: This was posted in 2012. Tanking got us the 2013 Unanimous R.O.Y Damian Lillard! Tanking is awesome!

Last night, was a personal low for me as a Po’Zers fan. With only a few games remaining in the 2012 season, I was excited to see our team face off against the #1 team in the West. The 2012 Spurs have surpassed everyone’s expectations with their cruise into the post season. This was an excellent chance for our young roster to play upset and gain momentum for next season. After the first quarter, the Po’Zers were down by 13 points. So, I decided to watch something more basketball related than what I was currently watching, “Khloe and Lamar: Lamar vs. Lakers.”

The Trailblazers started to tank the season on March 15th, 2012

Marcus Camby for Hasheem Thabeet, Johnny Flynn and the Rockets 2012 2 nd round draft pick

round draft pick Gerald Wallace for Mehmet Okur, Shawne Williams and the Nets 2012 1 st round draft pick

round draft pick Waived Greg Oden

Waived Chris Johnson

Fired Nate McMillan

When I learned we had lost two starters for garbage, I couldn’t believe it. My diehard Po’Zers fan explained to me how big those draft picks are. News outlets would share the same sentiment, “It’s all about the ping pong balls.” Dumping Greg Oden felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my knees. As cursed as we are, we didn’t need Bowie 2.0 lurking in the shadows.

However, firing Nate McMillan ended up being the best decision all day. As we all know, Nate McMillan sucks. You think you like McMillan, because he’s been around for so many years, but all he does is lose. He can win with losers, but he can’t win with winners.
