I think Dallas will pull this one off. And Phoenix is pounding Portland. Decent night for our picks. It's just those ****ing Bucks.....
 
Yeah. Still, they'll be a little better when Sanders gets back and they play in the east. That alone is worth a couple of wins.

Good night outside of that. Denver, Los Angeles, Dallas and Phoenix will all hopefully keep moving up while the Tankers move down. Going to laugh my *** off if they fall out of the playoffs and net the Jazz a great lottery pick because they wanted to dump Biedrins, Jefferson and Rush.
 
Utah vs. Phoenix
Golden State vs. Oklahoma City

Very likely that the Suns win and push themselves up out of the lotto, while the Thunder should handle the Warriors and push them further down.

How far do they fall before people start to panic? Watching them fail is almost as rewarding as seeing the Jazz execute a perfect tank job. Both things help Utah in the race for top prospects.
 
You know what would make this tank swamp Milwaukee's tank? Is if we fired Tyrone (tisk, tisk), and had a different fan coach the Jazz every game.

The Milwaukee Bucks don't want to tank. Per Herb Kohl, team owner and formerly acting U.S. Senator in Wisconsin, the team needs to compete as part of a civic duty to Milwaukee. It's a noble cause, and a political-/legacy-driven as well. It also hurts that there may still be team-stealing vultures lurking in the Pacific Northwest (yep, that's the nasty undercurrent you smell), and Milwaukee is their next planned dinner.

The Bucks are currently failing to meet the Senator's standards, however. A rash of injuries, highlighting by a bar fight LARRY SANDERS! injured himself in, has left Milwaukee at a not-so-sterling 2-8 record after Wednesday night's games, good for the worst record in the Eastern Conference. Unlike, say, the Sixers, the Bucks will not actively try to get worse. But being left with a shell of a team for an extended period of time made them a semi-interesting character in the fight for draft supremacy.

None of the injuries are crippling, however. And most of the players have returned to the lineup, though not in their previous roles. Luke Ridnour's back and starting. Ersan Ilyasova is easing his way back into the lineup. Only Brandon Knight and Sanders remain out among solid rotation players. Yet the team still doesn't look good.

Unfortunately for Bucks fans, actual tanking will not be an option until their area fate is sealed. Heck, they could even make a move to improve the roster. One thing I can safely say: mediocracy certainly beats not having a team. I don't expect them to be near the Sixers at the end of the season, just because of the team's future.

Soon-to-be-Commissioner Adam Silver said in the preseason that the issue of a new arena in Milwaukee, something taxpayers have resisted, is vital for the team's future in the city

I have no problem with a franchise that has only about 5 years of history worth remembering and is situated in a backwoods town being the sacrificial lamb to the resurrection of the Sonics. But for all of the Bucks' woes since trading Lew, they have been around forever, have won a championship, and paired two of the greatest NBA players of all time together. I would be sad for Milwaukee. **** the Kings.
 
I still can't believe that the Sonics are gone. I can never cheer for OKC. What a ****ing sham. This issue is arguably the biggest stain the NBA has ever created.
 
Great news guys.. should be a fun game for JazzFanzers.
