Official Utah/Minnesota/Philadelphia Pick Watch

[jazfan23]

You would have to think if the league was ever going to come down hard on a team for tanking , Dallas is front row central

Before tonight’s game , they had a legit chance of the play - in , then decide to play their superstar for only 1 quarter and shut him down for the rest of the season .

This is a bad look for the NBA

I mean the Jazz have been doing that all post ASB

Now watch the Minnesota pick jump into the top 4 in the lottery and push Dallas to #11.

Minnesota and New Orleans play each other in their final game. The winner of that game will win the season series.

You are both correct

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

You are both correct

Actually, no. If Minnesota somehow loses to San Antonio, they can't catch the Pels. Unlikely, but still...

The Knicks losing a top-10 pick by 1 spot due to tanking is reminiscent of using losing one to the Warriors when they tanked for Harrison Barnes.

Yeah but then absolutely nobody but JFC knew that and nobody cared. Now everyone knows it.

We don’t have a superstar who legitimately had a shot a making the play in before tonight’s game and only played him 1 quarter

First part: sure they did.
Second part: perhaps so.
Third part: play-in game issue makes a difference.

My man, the Jazz got eliminated one day before the Mavs did, and were resting everybody under the sun for the past month.

If it's an argument as to which team with a chance at the play-in tanked more, it's the Jazz by a landslide.

They should let the lottery play out… and if nobody passes Dallas, make them forfeit that pick to the Knicks. That would be about as harsh of a penalty as you could realistically see, and it would probably deter something like this in the future

Hmmm , I kinda agree and disagree ,

We did it more smoothly ? The way Dallas went about this has shined the light brighter on their effort ?
