The Official 2014/15 Tank Watch thread

I'm hoping the tank (losing games intentionally or not) continues for two reasons
#1 obviously to acquire more ping pong balls and hopefully get a better draft pick

#2 I'm hoping that the odds makers have us winning a low amount of games next year again so I can make a large bet on the over and get a nice profit.

If we win alot more games to finish the season, add good free agents + Burks + another lotto pick then I think Vegas might set our win total too high (maybe in the low 40's)

If we lose alot to end the season and still acquire good free agents + Burks + lotto pick maybe Vegas will think it's not enough to get us to 40 wins next year.

I'm thinking that next year, regardless of how we finish this season, we will be the 9th seed in the west and win somewhere around 45-47 games

There is a tense fight for the 8th seed in the East with Brooklyn, Detroit, Charlotte and Indiana all with 23 wins, all fighting for the 8th spot. Unlikely any of these teams will let off (i.e., tank).


In the West, OKC (32 wins), Phoenix (30 wins) and NO (30 wins) are all fighting for the 8th spots as well.


In conclusion: I think this means the worst we could finish in terms of the draft spot could be the 9th pick (unless a team jumps in and grab a top 3 pick).

We're back in a tie for 9th.


BOS seems to have joined the group of teams fighting for the 8th seed in the East now with x2 wins in a roll on the back of Isiah Thomas. Let's see if they can keep it up.

DET fading a bit I guess finding it difficult to integrate Reggie Jackson into their team. Here's hoping Van Gundy can pull the team back together (he's definitely not coaching to lose).

Brooklyn went into OT with Phoenix and lost, but they definitely want that 8th seed.

Indiana with a foot in already as we speak with Paul George potentially getting back & surprising some people.
 
Jazz likely to finish with 37 - 40 wins now. If Miami and Indiana go a couple games over .500 on their remaining games, they should stay ahead of us. Our last stretch of the season is actually pretty tough with multiple games against the Rockets, Grizzlies, and Blazers.

I think both Boston and Brooklyn want to win. It's possible one of them can end up ahead of us, and we'll draft 10th.
 
Dudes... I think it is time we accept that the Tank looks a lot like the Sherman tank at the end of Fury. It's over. Next time we talk about the Jazz tanking will be 15 years from now in the year 2030.

Yeah I wanted to be 9th ... but realistically I think BOS or Brooklyn would fade and give us 10th.

Not to mention the Heat that the Jazz are only 2 games behind. And the Suns who are slumping hard while the Jazz are surging. Jazz have made up about 2 1/2 games already since the All Star break. 6 games behind now.

Jazz could end up 13th and only behind the Pelicans.

Yep. Phoenix has 18 games left, Jazz 20. Phoenix goes 8-10, Jazz go 15-5, they end up tied. Not likely, but possible
