Subject: Is GS tanking it?

Golden State pick goes to the Jazz if it is above 7. They are currently 2-15 in the last 17 games. I am not sure if they will win another game. They could be the 6-10 pick, it all depends on how things finish out. If they go 2-20 is that a tank job. All the experts say how deep the draft is this year. I don't think I would want to lose my draft pick this year. The jazz are in the same situation their draft pick goes to Minn if they make the playoffs if they don't make the playoffs they get the pick. The could have picks 8 & 13 or they could be without a draft pick a deep draft. GS tanks and the Jazz get the 8th seed, no draft pick for the jazz.

I've been watching a bunch of their games lately (they seem to be on NBA TV and/or ESPN all the time). They just don't seem to have it in the gas tank anymore to play 4 quarters hard. And when David Lee went down it seemed like they lost one of their hardest working player, and the best offensive rebounder I think they had.

As long as they keep this Tyler guy in the game I'm good... he's terrible but I need 3 decent games from him for my head to head league.

giving up in the 4th Q is tanking it. Too many close loses = tanking it to lower their draft pick. I know the ping pong balls try to stop teams from completly tanking it. It is too easy to maniuplate loses. Play a player at the end of the game that should be sitting on the bench. Maybe this Tyler guy. The Jazz should have Kanter and Favors in at the end of games. I don't want to see the Jazz tank so they get a draft pick this year in a deep draft. With so many games it would be hard to be motivated for every single game. Tanking it is just wrong. I don't think GS will win another game.
