What teams do you think have the strongest tank? Who's tank worries you the most and how do you think the Jazz stack up?
UGLI's pWr Tankings
1) Milwaukee- Just a horrible roster, and there is fan support for the tank.
Silver Lining- they have one of the worst owners in sports. A horrible track record of short sighted moves. If they start sniffing the playoffs in the horrible East, I could see ownership wanting to make a run at it.
2) 76ers- This team was built to tank. They started off the year extremely hot, but they worry me because I think they will tank with absolutely no shame down the stretch. They also have a really hard schedule the last month and a half of the season. (prime time for tanking)
3) Toronto- They might deserve to be #2 tbh. They seem to be blowing it up, but it was basically already blowed up so who knows. The reason they are #2 instead of #3 is they just got rid of a guy that everyone hated to play with. That might provide a little boost in the short term as evidenced by their win over the Lakers yesterday.
4) Utah Jazz- I'm still not 100% sold on the tank, I think we will win some frustrating games down the stretch because we will refuse to purposely lose, and Trey Burke is also too much of a winner to have a true tank. However, I can't ignore the fact that the Eastern teams are going to get a lot of accidental wins, and as of now it seems we are the only team in the West that is tanking. Things *could* be breaking just right for us.
5) Cleveland- Things are very tenuous for the Cavs because most of their key players are very injury prone. If Irving goes down they have the propensity to tank with no shame whatsoever.
6) Kings- The Gay trade shows that they will not be trying to lose on purpose, but the only problem is that Gay is a horrible team player. They are ranked this low because I think they want to win, but I could see the Gay trade being great for them or totally destroying any chemistry they have, leaving them with one of the worst records.
7) Orlando- They actually have a lot of nice pieces and a good coach, so I could see them beating up on the bottom teams in the East. They are still a definite threat though because they don't have a full roster, and I don't doubt that the organization would be ok to tank down the stretch.
8) Knicks- They don't own their pick and have no incentive to tank, but it is somewhat worrisome that they have been this bad while trying to win.
9) Nets- Same as the Knicks.
10- Grizzlies- lots of injuries, but not a true threat IMHO.
