Its Time to Tank

[The Midnight]

This is Tank-Tastic!

Jazz ending up with a top 8 pick would be great. Hopefully, the Timberwolves still have a rough go of things too. Two lottery picks this year would be fantastic. They’ve been frustrating, but are still only a game and a half out of the lottery at this point. One bad stretch and it could spiral fast.

If we end up 8th we have a 26.2% chance of jumping into the top-4. I think we end up around 7/8/9.

Portland game in few weeks is huge for draft implications. If we lose that and the OKC game at the end of the season we will lose a lot of tie breakers as well.

Do tie breakers have any impact on picks? I thought they used coin toss to determine picks in the event of a tie.

I was thinking this the first time he posted a more detailed post about this, but reading it more carefully, I think he's referring to the possibility of being tied in record for the play-in and not the draft itself.

Might be wrong though.

Ah, right. For playin tiebreakers will definitely matter. The way it looks right now we're on a trajectory way out of the playin, I think.

No worries the tank is secure. THT, Gay and others will do the job, Go Jazz!!

Yeah I'm thinking about the last play-in spot, which could come down to tie breakers.

Craziest scenario is this:
Pels, Blazers, Lakers, us and OKC.... thats 5 teams within 1 game of each other right now. If East bubble teams (Wizards, Pacers, Bulls) pushes past us in record and 4 of those 5 west teams would end up with the same exact record (1 pulling up for a better one)... then one of the 4 will get 6th spot while another makes play in and will be 11th at best.

That is 34.8% chance for top 4 vs 8.5% chance for top 4 with the exact same record. I know its not likely (even with Lebron injured, I think Lakers will have a better push), but right now there is no separation.
