2025-2026 Tank Race Prediction Contest and Current Results Thread

1- BKN
2- WAS
3- UTA
4- CHA
5- NOP
6- SAC
7- POR
8- PHX
9- PHI
10- MIL


I think if Giannis misses 10-15 games pre-AS they may end up cooked early like Philly was last year. Its kind of tough. A lot of the bad teams could be kinda frisky if things break right.
I think I would change 4-7 based on preseason hype.

4- Kings
5- Blazers
6- Pels
7- Horncats

Vibes are real bad in Sacramento. Their schedule sucks. They look completely disconnected from each other on the court. Kings are going to be the first BOGO game of the season.
 
Actually we have chronically overperformed and the injuries are largely just tanking in disguise. The Jazz have only had one major injury in the Hardy era (Hendricks last year).
Worst record in the league was not over performing in my opinion. I dont think we over performed any of the other years either since we traded away good players at the deadline and sat healthy guys. We could have won more games every season of Hardys career if we wanted to but we chose to underperform.
As for injuries...... I'm counting the sitting healthy guys as injuries since not being on the court with fake/minor injuries affects wins and loses just as much as real/major injuries and that's the discussion at hand.
In the summer we had collier, Lauri, Kessler, and flip all get injured apparently and now we add Ace and Anderson to the list. Might be forgetting someone too. Kind of a lot of injuries to have before the season even starts.
Cody Williams out tonight apparently.

This is the last bump. If you want to participate in the bottom 10 prediction contest make sure to post or edit your prediction before Tuesday when the season starts.

I'm going on a backpacking trip and will not have internet access for a few days, so this is my last chance to send a reminder.
 
I'm not sure the West is going to be a huge advantage to the Jazz this year. There are a lot of teams in the West that look beatable.

I think it still is because they are all trying. I think if teams like Indiana and Boston continue their slow start you could see like 5 tank teams out East.
 
If the Jazz want to lose, they need to find a reason to play Lauri and Walker less. The two of them together as mobile bigs are pretty forceful on both sides of the ball.

Walker and Lauri combined for 76 pts and 25 rebs against the Suns.
 
There are only 3 winless teams remaining:

- IND
- BKN
- NOP

Brooklyn is the only 4 loss team in the league and looks like the clear favorite to be the worst team in the league.
