The Official 2014/15 Tank Watch thread

They might be... No seriously what a f*** joke of a franchise, let's suck for a few years in a row and get like 4-5 top 3 picks. What a disgrace to real competition. I hope it backfires on them and remain miserable for years to come.

And besides that, it breeds a losing mentality that teams just can never break. All you have to do is look at those losers in Golden State. I'll bet they wish they had never seen the day they cheated us. Their fans probably don't even get that exited for their wins, because of all the shame.

I'd rather be smart and win than noble and stuck in mediocrity.

You really think that playing for a team that is blatantly tanking in the open a good place for a player's development. In that kind of winning culture they're set to be new Spurs aren't they? Sorry but I wouldn't be able to root for a team like that. We tanked last year but at least we didn't make fools of ourselves. Plus you can say it's lasted one year. Couldn't have another year of that crap tbh.

They're not blatantly tanking; they don't have the players to win. A couple are hurt; the rest if the team is young. There's little difference between what Philly did last season and what Utah did. Philadelphia traded away vets at the deadline; Utah let vets go at the end of the previous season and refused to sign good players to the roster. Jazz started with a PG rotation of Lucas/Tinsley. That's a BLATANT tank.

Problem with Utah is that they tanked a year late. Should have gotten rid of the vets a year earlier and had a top-10 pick in 2012 as well.

I've only seen one team purposely throw away games: Golden State. They would bench starters in the 4th and throw balls way out of bounds to give up leads (and the team would be laughing on the sidelines). Philly was just bad last season due to personnel, as was Milwaukee, Orlando, Boston and Utah.
 
And we're now tied for 7th worst record.

Funny how last season we were actually hoping for losses just like tonight: close game, key players show promise, but we just come up short.

Wow.. we might have a chance at Karl Towns... A Towns & Favors front court is just too tantalising to imagine.
 
I think Porzingis would be a great get for the Jazz.

Exum/Burks/Hayward/Porzingis/Favors could be pretty special.

I don't want to bag on Towns. I think he's a likely All Star and elite prospect. He just isn't a high-impact athlete like Anthony Davis.

Porzingis also has pretty elite mobility and timing for a 7-footer. These are the things that are holding Kanter back a bit. I think Porzingis looks like the best European big prospect in several years.

We should be 3-0 on this road trip. This thread is nonsense and bringing BAD VIBES.

Lol at the idea that this team can win on the road. Winning consistently on the road is the last step a team takes in becoming elite. Have to crawl before you can run, let alone fly.
