Okay. How in the hell does this happen?

    Rest your best player, start only 1 of your main starters, and instead start a really old dude and 3 guys who might not get a second contract in the NBA, don’t defend 3 pointers while only attempting half as many as your opponent, let opponent get more than double the rebounds you do.

    Underlying context to said strategy: keep a top 8 pick

    you don’t think brice is getting a second contract ?

    I personally think he will now. I was exaggerating a bit as part of the cynicism of losing so badly. I think the three I’m alluding to started the year with that being an unknown but I think Brice has played his way in. I think there’s a small chance that if he just can’t get over the hump I’m playing consistent D then he might be out.

    It’s good for the tank in that it puts Charlotte up 1 and us down 1 at the same time. I hate to see such a blowout but having Cody play almost 35m is a guaranteed loss.

    Is Charlotte also tanking or are they just 14-25 for reasons beyond me?

    Well, that 45-14 start didn’t help. Second half seems more competitive but they were already in a 30+ point hole after one quarter.

    Not having a player taller than 6'9" playing... resting your #1 option player, and many other factors.

    Writing was on the wall...

    I miss the days where if a team scored 94 points then the other must have played some great defense, instead of what we get now, which only means our team couldn't hit their 3s.

    Hopefully this is the Jazz's version of the Denver Broncos getting 70 dumped on their head and deciding they want to win again

    Sad thing is. Fans pay good money to watch their favorite team PLAY. Team owners should have heavy heavy fines for tanking.

    It seems teams only show up when it's a former champion like the Warriors.

    I was at the game, Will Hardy’s body language suggested he didn’t give an ounce of a shit, he just watched the game as a spectator. Fans were booing our own players out of the stadium, this team is fucking embarrassing man.

    Good thing Austin Ainge said we weren’t tanking this year. I’m sure that totally threw the league off our scent

    The perma tank rolls on. This is what you tanking fans are rooting for: years or decades more of being the most embarrassing franchise in sports. But hey at least we get the chance to draft the next Cody Williams
