We are absolutely killing them on the boards. These offensive rebounds are encouraging.

 

[Hekate]

this win is a serious blow to our tank.

 

[Avery]

Good to see us finally snap this skid.

Nobody's tanking here.

Lot of time left dude...

 

[kabenac]

Way too many turnovers but 21-22 from the line. This isn't a shocking win but it's encouraging.

someone should.

 

[Jamezz]

All star numbers from Favors. Very encouraging performance.

Tanking is for management. The coach and players are always going to try to win games, and if you ask me, making the playoffs would be more valuable to this team than tanking to get a few more ping pong balls.

It is with immense pleasure that I present to you our favorite pigeon newly soiled with a lily white piece of poop!

Here's hoping there are soon many more to follow.

I don't find getting swept by GSW all that valuable.

 

[Jamezz]

Fine, I'm anti-tanking so we're not gonna get anywhere, enjoy lamenting tonight's win.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

Even if that's what happens, getting to the playoffs is way more valuable than getting a pick two or three spots earlier. If the Jazz win even one playoff game, though, it will be a great step in their progression. The playoffs are so much fun!

We are 1-9 against the top 4 of West. I doubt any win is coming.

That will make it even sweeter.

I am not lamenting, though I can't say I enjoyed it. Pels suck.

Narrow perspective. Being in a race to get into playoffs and overcoming obstacles, winning games that matter, building confidence, playing on natl tv with playoff atmosphere, playing under heightened pressure, in a more half court game with higher defensive intensity, etc. these are all experiences we need to build upon.

Compared that to the probability that a 10th pick is better than a 26th pick.

No contest.

IAWTP, but I don't understand what your saying about 10th vs 26th. It's more like 10th vs 14th or something. Others know more about how this draft is likely to play out than I do, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the chances are fair that we'd end up with the same player with either of those picks.
