Fun fact with the Hawks: The players on the court dont give a fuck what the FO or even the coach obvious wants. Bazemore was a healthy scratch. Played Collins just 22min. Schröder played three quarters well and doesnt play at all in the 4th...their coach pretty much tried to threw the game and zing, they win it at the buzzer

Which is pretty solid proof that tanking isn't as easy as it seems. When a crap team plays another crap team...well...somebody has to win.

So the logic is don't increase our chances to lose because sometimes you still win???

The better approach is to increase our chances to win meaningless games because failure is still possible. I mean, do you hear yourself?

If the Mavs wound up with a draft pick outside of the top 5 because they tried as hard as they could to tank, but their young guys just happened to pull out a bunch of games, then I can live with that.

Not trying to tank; I can't live with that. It's stupid.


And FFS why is everyone on this forum so God Damn defensive about not tanking?!?! Jesus H. Christ.
