2024-2025 Tank Race

I think it's been fairly optimistic, what has you down? It's still not a big spread between us, but scrappiness from Brooklyn/Portland/Detroit has been good.

I know they're either injured or broken, but I just struggle to see Philly or New Orleans being worse than us over a season. They'll get their **** together enough. Washington is an epic **** storm, perfectly crafted to tank and we shouldn't worry to much about passing them.

Toronto/Charlotte/Chicago are neck and neck with us, but have at least shown themselves to be more competitive than us so far.

The season is full of runs, but I'm feeling pretty good about our potential for bottom 3 seed. Collins/Collin trades would definitely help but not feeling too likely. Collier and Cody are our secret tank weapons, and hopefully they get unleashed for 25 MPG later in the season.

I think this is about as good as you could have hoped for while keeping Lauri. If we wanted to be like the Wizards we would have had to trade him and probably others as well.

The Jazz are the 4th worst team with 2 teams below them only being there because of the multiple injuries to clearly better players (i.e. they have a good chance of getting better) and you are still not happy? The only truly tanking team below us is Washington.

NOP gonna wrap it up soon and tank. They may end up losing like 17 of 18. Think right now they’ve lost 12 out of 13 with the only win against the Jokicless Nuggs.

Philly likely still makes a run because in the East they haven’t lost contact and any funny business for them will trigger NBA investigations. No one cares what happens in NO… unless Zions team gets really vocal if he’s actually healthy. Even then he only stays healthy for like 5-10 games.

What has me down is that I dont think the jazz are going to tank as hard as other teams and I dont think the jazz end up in the bottom 5.

They will. The one thing you can count on is they will tank hard after a certain point. The fact they are this low already is a great sign. It's been a 10/10 tank year so far.

Having two playoff teams decimated by injuries isn't something we can really control

Are you talking about the Utah Jazz?! The same Jazz who finished last season by going 1-16 until they secured their preferred position?

Since February 8 until today the Jazz posted the 9-39 record: this is the 15-67 pace. The Jazz are not going to tank: they already have been tanking incredibly hard for the last 10 months - in the last 12 years only 2 teams managed to have the record that is worse than 15-67.
 
Watched the end of the Washington game against Milwaukee because it was close for a bit

They're not a good team. But Brogdon when healthy is at least a competitor.
