The young guys are better than the vets anyways
Serious question: Why are people rooting for the Jazz to win this year?

- Start date

If only the Jazz had listened to me when I wrote this. Could you imagine this lineup for this year:
Lilliard
Hayward
Barnes
Favors
Kanter
Damn, I hate being right all the time. I'm just glad that 99% of you have come around to finally seeing what I saw back then:
Our "leaders" suck, our coach sucks, and we need to sink or swim with the young guys.

You da man!.... you were pretty much right, but like i said in one of my posts on this page... How do the jazz tank? Play burks, hayward, favors, and kanter lots of minutes? I think we actually might have one more games.... Do you tell the players to try to miss shots and play crappy defense?..... Do you sign ben handlogten, keith mcleoud and morris almond for a year?
What do you think the jazz should have done to tank? I mean they played bell and howard as starters and played earl and watson lots of back up point guard minutes.
Plus they played big al more minutes than anyone...... Kinda seems like they were tanking, but it just didn't work.

Other teams (like the warriors) can tank by playing thier backups more and benching the starters
With the jazz it seems that almost everyone on the team is about the same good so benching the starters does not accomplish "tanking" with this particular jazz team.

Why did/do we need to tank? We already have a roster full of young players that Corbin won't play. Do we need more?

And then there is that good point as well.
I don't need to root for my team to lose. It normally happens anyway. What I root for is for a team like Dallas to win so we'll have better shot at getting McCollum in the draft. The Mavericks are so incompetent right now it's infuriating.
The rookie Barnes played more minutes than Favors did this season. LOL
The rookie Barnes has played as many minutes this season as Kanter has in both of his seasons combined.
Favors, Kanter, and Burks COMBINED for about 3,100 minutes last season. Lillard has played more than 2,800 minutes this season.

You still never answered my question green.
How do the jazz go about tanking? (i seriously want to know how they really could tank, im behind the idea of tanking but dont understand how the jazz would execute it)
