You didn't start it
Great to know that Denver is not tanking and were just "not very good" for the first couple of weeks.
Seems like they're hitting their strides now beating out Chicago & D.Rose.

Dat Atlantic Division doe.
The Atlantic Division is insanely bad! Toronto leads the division at 5-7!
One thing we have going for us is that it's harder for teams to outright tank games (think shameless tanking like the warriors a couple years ago) when they are still in the playoff race. Milwaukee at 2-8 is incredibly just 1.5 games out of the 8th seed, so every team still has hope for the playoffs in the horrible Eastern Conference.
Hopefully the parity in the East continues through most of the year and keeps teams from truly tanking. I keep saying it, but I don't think the Jazz will shamelessly tank. We tanked from an organizational standpoint with the way the roster is set up, but I really don't see us intentionally tanking during games, which could make it really really hard to get a bottom 3 record.
We HAVE to keep losing these early games bros!

One thing I could see the Jazz doing, and hope they do, is being very liberal with the amount of rest they give injured players down the stretch. Like if Hayward is nicked up like he is now with 10 games to go, they could shut him down for the season. (Maybe not actually Hayward since he and his agent would flip with his pending RFA, but you get the point.)
I am of the opinion that any off court tanking is strategic and totally acceptable. On court tanking is an embarrasment doe.

I agree. The players and coaches play to win. They may mess up, play bad and coach bad at times but they are not intentionally losing individual games.
