Sorry for my last post in this thread. I didn't really know how to do the table.
 
Nice little nugget here re tanking:

Q: What is your feeling on "tanking"?

Rivers: "I don't think that happens -- at least not with coaches or players. You can't tell me that any coach is out there trying to lose games. That doesn't mean management hasn't set up a team not to win, but coaches are trying to win. I'm coaching against [Philadelphia] Brett Brown and he's agonizing with every play."

Stevens: "I agree with Doc that no players or coaches are trying to lose games. We're focused on trying to be the best we can do and that will always be the case. I'm seeing progress every day, but the losses sting now. That's not fun. Everyone is trying to get better and win games. I'd agree that no one is out there trying to lose games. The whole word and concept frustrates me, personally. We have a young team, and everything we do is to try and improve and be good today and tomorrow, to establish a culture with these young players."
 
Tank or not, I'd have LOVED to have had Brad Stevens coaching the Jazz right now. Him or Hornacek would have been a real positive step forward.
 
I'd like to hear these guys reactions to the way Mark Jackson coached the tankers two years ago. Unfortunately, I'm sure both of them are too smart to state their real opinion publicly.

Yeah, coaches generally don't criticize other coaches. I'd love to hear any current or former NBA coach's unfiltered opinion on Jackson's coaching during the Warriors' tank.
 
This month might just kill the tank for good.
Lots of home games, lots of time between games, and not many tough opponents.

We will lose to the spurs and probably the warriors in slc.... other than that, we could win them all.

Cleveland, denver, detroit, minnesota 2 times, washington and sacramento could all be wins...... especially with all the days off we have.
only one back to back this month against detroit and minny.

We are 2 and 1 for the month so far and could possibly go 9 and 4 for the month if everything wrong (or right if you are against the tank)

Most likely we go 7-5 or 6-6 though..... in either case, it dont help the tank this month.

lets hope we lose enough to get us to March. Thats when the schedule gets tough again.

Here here.
This month would be a great time for a trade or minor injury
