Wow. First of all guys like Lee, Bogut, and Curry are really injured. They were not going to make the playoffs. The ultimate in stupidity would have been to try to get another 5 wins and miss a top 7 pick in his draft. They will be much better next year if healthy. The extra minutes for guys like Jenkins, Tyler, and Thompson will do them great good for the future.
Is coin toss tomorrow?

Yes. It was a classless move, clearly against the rules, and I want to watch them rot. It's pathetic that the NBA would allow this to happen. If Utah did something like that to the Lakers or the Celtics can you imagine the uproar it would have created? Instead they nationally televised the final game and turned their commentators into lackeys for the pathetic coach who claimed he would never do a thing like that while simultaneously playing the worst lineup available to him.

Wow my ***.
There is world of difference between making the playoffs and tanking. no, they were not making the playoffs but they gave up on purpose. They intentionally tried to lose games. You can blame the FO, players, coach...whoever.
They intentionally lost.

In a perfect world, they'd draft Jones who'd turn out to be Kwame 2.0, sign Beasely (or if someone can insert the closest thing the league has to Sprewell), who ends up choking Mark Jackson to death, and an earthquake topples their arena.
I hope it becomes known that Mark Jackson was having extramarital affairs with transvestite hookers and has herpes all over his junk.

Why would you want this pathetic franchise rewarded by having Mark Jackson murdered? I hope he coaches them forever.
I would have defended them if they would have played Thompson and Jenkins in the 4th quarter, but by playing 4 PFs for the entire 4th quarter I have lost all respect. I would even respect him a bit more if he came out and said it. He lied about it though and is a whore.
I think there's a pretty clear line between playing to develop players and allowing losses, and downright gunning to throw games. The "Warriors" long-jumped over that line with ridiculous fervor and complete transparency. What an absurd misnomer for a franchise whose made this same decision many times.

Let's keep these going
This is the thing that amazes me the most; apparently it is against the NBA rules to lose on purpose. If this is true, then how can they not penalize the GSW because it was the most obvious thing in the world, and it would be quite easy to prove that they were losing on purpose. I don't see a difference between losing on purpose to get out of a business agreement that you made and losing because you know someone is gambling on your losing: you are losing to benefit someone financially.
