14th Tank Platoon

[The Midnight]

The way I see it, there are basically 3 teams that are currently "fighting" for the 3rd worst record: Utah, Philly and Boston. Kings & Cleveland seems set to get better this year judging by the moves they have made. MIL and ORL are in a league of their own for 1st and 2nd worst record.


So basically we just have to somehow out-tank Philly and BOS to secure a top #6 pick.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I'm not optimistic about out-tanking Philadelphia. Boston is getting Rondo back, so there's some hope there.

 

[sgjazzfan]

I'm just hoping to end up around 6, and that no team after 6 jumps us for the lottery. We would still have a decent (21 %) chance of being top 3 and 65 % chance of not dropping below 6. Milwaukee, Orlando and Philly will be in the bottom 5 for sure. Then you have Sac, LAL, Boston, NO, Cleveland as the other possibilities to get to the top 5. I think the Jazz will end up somewhere in the middle of that group. Luckily all those teams have a decent chance of making a run at some point.

A healthy Rondo will help Boston.

Philly is a different beast.

No worries boys... I have rigged the lotto balls. We are getting the 1st pick.

You have to throw LA in there.

 

[spycam1]

Boston and Orlando play today. Let's hope Boston wins cause Orlando has already left us in the dust.

Someone needs to remind them how much they liked Marcus Smart.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrsssssssssssss!!!!

 

[Doublea]

What even happened to Orlando??? They were 10-20 and then just lost 10 in a row???

 

[Jazz4ever]

Yep. Vucevic has missed those games with a (likely) bogus injury. Big baby Davis has been manning the center spot and they have given up 100+ points ever since. Another words....that's how you tank.

 

[Stoked]

Utah going into the lottery with this group of talent and the 3rd or 4th most balls in the draft is a hell of a feat. Still gives Utah a damn good chance at Wiggins and/or Parker. Especially with Embiid, Randle and Exum looking really strong.

 

[Stoked]

Lakers won. Bucks got torched.

Kings are down and Boston and Orlando are tied.

I'm hoping Boston wins.

edit: Orlando won.

Yep. Vucevic has missed those games with a (likely) bogus injury. Big baby Davis has been manning the center spot and they have given up 100+ points ever since. Another words....that's how you tank.

He fell hard on his head. See yourself:

Fast forward to 1:20. Maybe his team tells him to take it slow. But these kind of falls tend to cause severe injuries.

Apparently MCW is slumping. He shot 6/29 from the field, and had 10 turnovers in his last two games. Anyone seen the rookie rankings lately?

Burke > MCW

Jazz made the right pick.
