Too good to tank?

I remember a few months ago vegas had BYU football winning 6.5 games and the jazz winning 17 games and I felt like both were incredibly low.
BYU has won 11 games and the jazz are certain to win quite a few more than 17.

Too bad there wasn't a casino nearby at the time.

We didn't lose nothing, we fought for a playin spot all year. We had guys gunning for a win 60 games (or 82, if you think they're still there). That's a lot.

If we give away the 9th pick then we didn't fight for a play in spot.

If we were doing this every night we wouldn't be having this conversation. It flips 2-3 games easily.

I don't think there's any scenario where Jazz are clearly among the worst 3 teams in the league. We could be worse, but we're not Wizards/Nets bad in any scenario (except more injuries, and I'm sure there are plenty of dubious shoulder to go).

True, but I don't think we'll give up the 9th spot, I think we'd give up the 12th. We'll be a game or two out of playins.

I get it if you don’t want to feel like crap when you win. To that I say that it would be much more enjoyable to win these games with Cody, TH, and the other youngins. Winning from your youth is different than winning because a washed up vets turned back the clock. There will be less wins, but more to celebrate.

You could be 2 games out or something. There are small margins if the tank game gets tough.
