Lose by 3, look like an NBA team. That's all.

To use Markkanen at 5 probably is not an asset wise good alternative... history of back issues... you don't want him banging the big fellas for much time. Bamba could eventually provide a little bit of a Kessler like presence. Neither of the other mentioned guys can do it. @slc mentioned...

Sir, I won't be the one telling you that "definitive knowledge" is a misguided concept. That said, "my semantics are loose" is an expression width good probability to be true ;)

Where some people see tanking, I just see a bad team without no option to be much better. Where some people see strategy, I just see semantics ("let's loose a lot"); strategy means lots of parts coherently being managed and executed.. I do not see that.

To tank is a choice you take within a strategy. No choice or strategy here.

I try hard, but I don't find reasons to like our coach... or the Ainges... or RS...

My guess is 25 years Keyonte George is going to be a super solid starter, scorer and player.

I understand what you are saying, it's semantically correct. But, basketball wise, you should be able to lose games playing with effort and trying to run adequate schemes, lineups planned to help young guys abilities. You don't need more than a little bunch of minutes to throw away a game. If...

Jazz got to tank, not to stink.

There's so little to be said on this game. Jazz didn't appear to be an NBA team. This was not tanking, it was plain incompetence at all levels.

Kid's playing with a team with no clear north, playing no particular scheme, puzzling with lineups, no floor general... at the moment Bailey just doesn't fit whatever the Jazz are trying to do on court. That said, I don't know if Hardy is trying to do something organized, planned. If he is I...

Big no. Jazz maximized the chance for a shortened window going full on LM.... just imagine if Lauri regress or get injured or... They really need another top pick and to keep the other pick. Would be mindless if not.

I guess the main factor here is the Jazz being unsure about Kessler's impact going forward. They've oddly decided to go full gas on LM, and I think it probably has a role in being cautious about Walker. Both are postseason unproven, both tend to suffer a bit when good Ds go another level and...

It makes no sense at all to win more than 19 games; it would be self-flagellation for no reason.

I understand what you're saying, the stance appears to be similar, but Walker basketball status does nor belong in the same breath with that other guy basketball status back then.
