Can I just say that I'm sick and tired of the press [aka ESPN] calling out the Jazz for tanking?

Not sure why it bothers a lot of national media guys so much that the Jazz are playing Lauri and JJJ for 3 quarters and then sitting them in the 4th. They act like that is so much worse than just not playing them at all. I don't get it.
 
Until Adam silver actually takes action it's all just silly noise. But even then I don't see anything crazier than just a fine.

If he truly wants to change the rules it's gonna be geared towards all teams and probably takes place after this season.
 
Plus I can literally list out 7 other teams that are doing the same thing. Grizzlies is doing this right now as we speak. Keeping more established players like Jerome, Pippen and KCP on the bench to close the game with Small(?) and Mashack(?) in a super close game against GSW so they can squeeze into the lottery. And who knows if Morant's gonna received the same "Trae and AD" treatment.
 
Just ignore the noise. Or as Hardy would put it, "trust the filter".

Its an interesting dilemma since whether we lose or keep the pick its "rich get richer" type of problem for the NBA. Fans dont want OKC to get 9th or 10th pick, but they dont want us getting a top 8 pick either.

Boo hoo. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the tank.

Ironically, the poster that cannot stop crying is right here. The crying on twitter only adds fuel to the fire. If you are in a national media member's replies complaining about this, ask yourself if that engagement is going to accomplish.
 
Why would anyone spend a second on Elon Musk's racist, child molesting ********?

Especially to the point of creating extra engagement by reading replies. Which they know would absolutely enrage them. Super weird.
 
if a boxer throws a game, he's villainized for it and maybe jail. if an nba team throws a game it's not only allowed but some even call it good tactics. i don't know if i even like the nba anymore.

When you have two All-Stars and you are still trying to tank you are bound to do so in a very obvious, in-your-face way. The Jazz fully deserved the negative coverage.

What about when you have zero all stars like the jazz?
