Silver: No Evidence Any NBA Team Has Ever Lost Single Game On Purpose

Core4 said:
I challenge Silver to watch the last 5 mins of the final twenty games in the W's tank season. I did and it was blatant. Could it be proved? No. But passes were thrown out of bounds with no attempt to save them. Shots were horribly off the mark. OK, you have a few of those per game, I admit. Would be interesting to see what their shooting % and TO rate was during that specific time frame compared to the first 3 quarters. I'd bet both are considerably worse. And, when you have the coach and players laughing, giving each other high-fives and dancing around on the sidelines when they lose the lead and the game, then yes, I think you can say games were lost on purpose.

Not to mention Mark Jackson pulling out all starters in the 4th quarter to give other players "experience" in the clutch.
 
Check out the next game. And they almost won over SA (who also played scrubs heavy minutes):

Golden State finished the last 20 games with a record of 3-17. Sounds kind of like a typical Gordon Hayward night (sorry, couldn't resist).

I think my favorite game during that stretch was GS at Minny. TWolves were somehow able to lose a 16 point halftime lead by only scoring 33 in the 2nd half. I remembering watching a good portion of that one and laughing at how bad both teams looked as they tried to out-tank each other.

And thats why their tank was executed with so much perfection...they ¨almost¨ won a lot of games but didn't. Against SA they used 7 players. No shame haha.

GS fans were pretty nervous during the 4th quarter.
Wouldn't it be ironic if Burke turns out to be a better player than Barnes. Couldn't have moved up for Trey without having the extra pick.

Karma is a bitch

Although it's unlikely, I still want them to miss the playoffs so we get another lottery pick. They would have sacrificed two picks for nothing. That would be sweet (as a basketball fan it sucks not watching curry in the playoffs but my jazz will always be first)
