Well congrats to Chris Wright then. Yeah, several other teams do appear to be tanking. It's just odd to see your fans cheering a loss to a lousy team.

Are you kidding me? You think we should want a victory here?

But star players flopping constantly, questionable officiating, and the 7 teams worse than the Warriors not even dressing players are good for the integrity of the league? Gotta love all the bitter people getting mad at the Warriors' "tank" and its not even just Jazz fans. What were you guys saying when they came back from 20 points down to beat the TWolves last game?

The league hasn't had any integrity in like 20 years

Surely they were saying GSW are **** insane. That's what everyone else was saying, from ESPN and rival GMs to the most disinterested fan. Yeah, they went full (Please Use More Appropriate Word).

If the Warriors end up with the #7 pick now, Chris Wright should be given a nice contract.

If the Warriors don't end up getting the lottery pick, they should keep the current active players and get rid of all the injured and unused ones! They are in it every game!

Ofcourse I'm not serious, but these so called scrubs are in every game and lose right near the end, when they lose.

A lot of times in sports when teams play weaker teams you end up playing to the level of the competition until crunch time which is usually sometime in the 4th. Notice how we still lose. That is because the other team turns it on at the end. If we were in the playoffs with this group this wouldn't happen and we would get blown out in 4 games.

Theres stilll hope
Cavs still have a shot with tieing with us and causing another coin flip.

They play wiz today and Bulls tommarow. If Cavs win both well be tied for 6th also.

wait Irving might not play due to "tank reasons". There goes that.

Post #1857 » by **floppymoose** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:59 pm

Irving will play, but will be limited to 30 minutes.

RussellandFlow · Post #1858 » by **RussellandFlow** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:35 am

According to the box score Irving played 10 mins. I guess Cleveland wanted to make sure they did not end the season with a two game winning streak :lol:

. Cleveland will probably win their final game against Chicago ending the season with 22 wins. Those two Minnesota comeback wins will be the difference. The Jazz not only make the playoffs but will get to add another piece to their young core, or use the pick as trade bait.

Don't they lose a pick by making the playoffs? Not that they need another lottery pick, although there are some guys that could help them mid-first round.
