a devastating win for the tank ugggh.
this half-ass tanking isn't going to get us the draft pick
JJJ & Lauri should only play in the first half. Let’s get serious about TANKING!
not going to watch a single game this season. JJJ and markkanen no sseconds 4th q. Fuck this shit
and I am unfollowing this shit cause you are celebratiung this shit
👎👎 pathetic franchise
Jazz are starting to screw up this tank.
That better be the last fucking win of the season.
I think the only reason Hardy is okay with shutting down the vets in the fourth and basically trying to lose, has he called a time out in the 4th in the last two games? Is that he sees the developing opportunity for the players that wouldn’t normally sniff crunch time.
STOP with the wins! We can’t lose a top 8 pick in a loaded draft class. With a little luck we get a stud. Combined with picking up JJ we can be dangerous!
Some real Jazz haters making comments. Any fan with a brain wants to add a player from a loaded draft to go with the addition of JJ!!! TANK better!
Back in the day, Frank Layden used to say that he much preferred to play an opponent at full strength than with key players out because his own players tended to underestimate the opponent and risked making believers in the undermanned opponent. That's what the Jazz's new tank strategy did tonight in Miami: Miami got tight and the Jazz played as they had nothing to lose, and btw, Jazz management deserves to be excoriated for their latest tank gambit.
Let's stop pretending that it's a good thing for the Jazz to win these games, just give it to us straight 😉 we all know what the ultimate goal is for the rest of this season and we've made peace with it. Love the show.
JJJ & Lauri should only play in the 1st quarter and then pull em'
Here's something I never thought I would say as a Jazz fan ever. "Tough Win" 😅
I remember, in the draft. The prize was Cooper Flagg. I believe Ace was the correct player. And each moment that these forth quater moments happen. I'm very pleased.
Anyone who thinks you can do more than this to tank and get away with it needs to get their head screwed on straighter. Everyone is healthy except Keyonte. The Jazz are required by league rule to play Lauri and JJJ. My son and I are having a great time, and while we are on board for the tank, we aren't going to be running to the comments section of anywhere and expressing anger that the team wins. I don't know what's wrong with people.
LOSE THEM ALL!!!!!!! STAGGER THE STARTERS GAMES AND PULL THE ONE YOU PLAY AT HALFTIME!!!! PAY THE FINES! JUST LOSE!!!
If the jazz are going to play the starters..I’m going to start watching…I haven’t watched for these tanking years… glad it’s time to start back up… play all 15 players every game… that’s the ethical way to tank…
Miami should be ashamed losing when the Jazz pull the starters for the 4th.
I think this method is a solid way to do things, you get meaningful minutes for the first three quarters working your real rotation, and then in the 4th you have meaningful minutes for the young guys where you can see how they react and get the experience. I think this is a pretty ethical way to tank.
Adam Silver will not say nothing about the Jazz tanking, he had a few thousand on them to beat Miami. Odds were 100 to 1 and his bookie told him Jazz….NBA Commissioners are really good at fixing and betting on games…See the Bulls Championships stolen from the Jazz in 1997 and 1998…..You will see 2 three pointers wiped away, Jordan fouling several times to steal the ball. But you think with all that cash he would not look like an Ethiopian on Slimfast or he could buy a toupee.
Teams get their draft pick based upon their loss record for that year. However, if they get one of the top eight picks, they are in eligible for a draft pick for three years.
