No one here wants the Jazz to lose. We just want them to not win.
Someone else was making an argument like this yesterday and it makes absolutely no sense. You don't want to be last place because there is a chance you could get the 4th pick at worst? The better the team finishes the lower the chances of getting a top three pick and the later the pick you could potentially get. You do realize that, right? The best odds of getting the earliest pick definitely go to the team with the worst record. That's what we want.I would root for couple of wins when you consider that 0.357 % chance to get 4th pick on the lottery for the team with the worst winning record. Cause it can get ugly like this;
1. X team - Wiggins
2. Y team - Parker
3. Z team - Randle
4. Jazz - Err... Exum!!
Its ok man. It was one win at home. It was going to happen. The Jazz are still on track. The future has not been stolen. Jazz were never going to be 0-82.
Here's someone who takes playing with a porpoise to a whole new level.

I wonder if she would be interested in coaching our team?

The reason why i said this the team with the worst winning record got more chance to end up with 4th pick than 2nd 3rd and 4th one. I dont see so much difference between 4th and 5th pick in case if you end up with the 2nd or 3rd worst record. Cause you can still get Smart if you miss the opportunity at picking Exum. But first 3 picks includes the top talents and if Jazz going to have the worst record it should worth the effort. I might be wrong though about distiribution of percentages in general.
