I have the old Pac Man cocktail table from the Freeport AJ Bumps in my garage. I need to see if I can get it refreshed. It works but definitely has some weird quirks. Also not sure if I have the key for the coin slot and I think when we took it home at some point we flipped the dip switches to give five lives and maybe a few other adjustments in addition to unlimited play.

Not sure who you directed this comment toward, but I have a 48-in-1 board in a JAMMA Streetfighter cabinet, which has all versions of Pac Man on it. You gotta turn on the dip switch for turbo speed if it has it.

LITE DA BEAM!

Man, I really dig Max. Active and great finesse down low. Fun watching him move around.

He looks like he should go to the "Dragan Bender" school of skinny 7'0's that get pushed around, but he does play with a mean streak and has a great mentality. That's going to allow him to stick around, assuming he continues to work on his body and get stronger.

But for sure, it's rare to see a dude his size be as fluid and move like he does. If he can put on some weight, while keeping the mobility, we certainly got something

I feel like Max has the physical gifts, but he also seems to have abnormally high cognitive skills. It seems that whenever he runs into a limit (like being skinny by NBA standards) he has the brainpower to figure out a workaround. Give this guy an offseason for strength and conditioning and he may be truly scary. Definitely the steal of the draft.

General comment from the poll. I am not sure if there is a turbo speed setting. My dad used to have the manual he did not pass it on.

Malik is no Luka, but the point remains: you have to start and play your best players the most minutes in order to win.

If he's not going to start, having him score 30 points in 31 minutes, with five assists and four rebounds, is a fair substitute.
 
Reality is though, even though Russ runs into one of these games every once in awhile, he's a major reason we're the worst team in the league. Not really his fault; he's been thrust into a #1 option role that he's just not suited for anymore. And we're just not going to lose every game.

As I said after the 4-game win streak; this team sucks and it's going to continue to suck. Until they somehow disprove the data of the last 64 games, I'm going to continue to see them as that worst team in the league

They are the worst team in the league but we will not finish with the worst record or the top seed because other teams work the system.

Ok, compare and contrast Indy's minute distribution and ours last night.

I agree that Doug has completely reverted back to the vets the last few games. It's bad for development, but it's not bad for us losing games. These guys have proven that.

But when Dev was getting 30+ MPG and we had a priority placed on the young guys; that's what we should focusing on.

Even still, our starting LU that got a majority of minutes was:

37 year old FA PG picked up 3 days before the season
2-way contract
Vet min contact picked up 3 weeks into the season
42 overall pick
23 overall pick

Again, players will never throw games. They'll always try to win. So unless you're suggesting we tell these guys to intentionally throw games, it's pretty damn difficult to be putting out less talent than we already are.

If you end up being wrong about either, will you say so?

Either being worst record or top seed…. They are the same thing. So I have to be wrong about both or neither.

But yes if we pull it off I will say here and RealGM that this team is smarter than I thought. If they don’t will you post also?

The Kings can, in fact, finish with the worst record and not get the top seed in the draft. It's already happened at least once. And I'm pretty sure that the Kings didn't have the worst record when they did get the #1 seed in the draft, but I'd have to double-check that.

EDIT - Confirmed: the Kings only had the sixth-worst record when they got the #1 Overall Pick in 1989.

I don't really care about what goes on at RealGM.

Will I post what? I never once claimed that they would finish with the worst record, so what are you asking me to say?

The “seed” is the pre-lottery term. They cannot finish with worst record and not the top seed.

They can finish without the worst record and the top pick.

Seems to be legal definition day.

Will you post this org is as dumb as we thought that they cannot even tank correctly.
