2024-2025 Tank Race

[homeytennis]

Well done, fish. You r-jinxed it. Worked great. Should we get after the Wizards now?

The tank is peaking at just the right time.

Just not true.
Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum are playing for the pelicans.
Lamello, bridges, nurkic all have been playing for the hornets.
Wizards played Kris Middleton last night in their win.

Still doesn’t explain our reluctance to do it though.

Why is Lauri still playing every other game for example?

Anyone know what's going on with Steph Castle? 12 total minutes (none in 3rd quarter), 4 points, 3 TO, 4 fouls. Spurs fans scandalized that they're not prioritizing his development.

With their “luck” they’ve probably been guaranteed Cooper Flagg if they finish bottom seven.

It is written.

Some players 25 years and older on "tanking" teams with more minutes than Lauri:

Jordan Poole
Corey Kispert
(not quite) Miles Bridges -- injuries have killed Hornets
CJ McCollum
Jerami Grant
Anfernee Simons
Jakob Poetl
Kelly Oubre
Gershcon Yabusele
Chris Paul
Harrison Barnes
nobody else on Jazz age 25 and older

He’s just not very good (now) and they just acquired a star player who demands minutes.

And they signed a hall of famer at the same position.

CHA loses by 36
NOP wins by 6
TOR loses by 10

As others have already said, we do it more than pretty much every other team.
We have rested so many of our good players so many times this season.

Definitely seems like more teams tanking is benefitting Utah.

Yep, the more participants the more wins happen head to head amongst tankers, raising the win floor…
