    Keyonte with some impressively dumb plays tonight. What a masterpiece of dog **** my these two teams

    Hornets just ducked a win against the Pelicans after being up 10+ in the second half. They are in Clubber Lang boxing form and I think we're in early movie Rocky form. Don't like our odds.

    I know this is scary for many of us to hear, but the 90's were 25-35 years ago now

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    How many mocks have come out in the last like 5 days the Jazz have been the bottom team? And they probably started drafting their list before then as well when Washington was at the bottom

    As a Utes fan, BYU has better culture and excitement right now for sure, I'm fine with how they highlighted them. Program really needs a defibrillator shock, hope Jensen can provide it

    Solving For Tanking, We're smart, let's figure it out

    Silver doesn't actually have much "power", he's just a figurehead representing the interests of the 30 owners and there's no way they'd be on board with the franchises that spent billions on being relegated to the shadow realm, no matter how justified. I love the idea of relegation and the...

    I have worked in data science / ML for the last ten years where I've had to try and explain statistics to business leaders who prefer their "gut", but it still amazes me how unwilling people are to understand probabilities. Yeah 14% isn't great, but the whole "the worst record never gets it" as...

    Not a BYU fan but it would be really cool to see AJ and Xavion join a core of Sanders, Keita, and Demin. More of a basketball presence in Utah would only be good for the Jazz. Feels like the kind of player a team in the late lottery of late teens really talks themselves into and lets him know...

    This was a somewhat quietly great game for Keyonte, looked confident and comfortable in his role.

    Solving For Tanking, We're smart, let's figure it out

    Yeah I don't fully hate it, probably would be more middle tier, but the dream of a Cooper Flagg or a Victor Wembanyama get me through dark tank years. If we are **** and I know our next 5 picks are like 12, 25, 15, 9, 20 then I would really struggle to soldier on and care. Obviously later draft...

    Does that Wizards loss count as two losses? Tanking minds want to know

    That was one of the silkiest 4-point plays I have ever seen by Brice. He is such an elite shooter.

    Solving For Tanking, We're smart, let's figure it out

    Haven't kept up with this thread, but thought they did a decent job of coming up with some ideas: View: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/solving-tanking/id1483267868?i=1000700968442 Ideas I think would at least help: - No more pick protections in the 4-14 range. Basically you can protect...

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    If we're ending up flipping a coin with Washington that is disaster territory, we're flipping for 5th or 6th since we tied for last and both got jumped by 4 teams. Odds would be split for the actual lottery portion and coin flips should only decide order after that. I know there's like a 25% of...

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    I know stones and glass houses and all, but this Philadelphia team is so intentionally BAD. Its only a 9 point game now at half, but they look so much worse than that at home against Washington.

    Is the NBA Draft Lottery Rigged?

    I have shared my thoughts on this before, but I just really don't see it. Its fun to **** post and I will write my insane conspiracy theories but only tongue in cheek. 1. The lottery is audited by EY, a multinational organization who operates on trust and legality, and is massively larger than...

    They'll still have the most teams in the Round of 32, but definitely not a great showing overall. 14 teams was likely too many, but this was also one of the weakest bubbles I've ever seen.

    VJ's athleticism is really jumping off the screen for me. Quiet scoring game so far, but he just has so many intangibles and he gets up so high got rebounds

    Some off-season trade ideas

    Unless we win the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes I am just not worried about being bottom 8 next year, the West looks like it might be even more brutal with Spurs/Blazers joining the race. I am still just higher on Cody than most but this feels like an 80% of just giving him away for nothing
