@DGreen_14 Agreed. But you were injured by a flop 😭

@TuskedUp While this could be true, how can an agent claim they are acting in their clients best interest if this is the reason? If DP was repped by a different agent, suddenly the fit is fine? Do players not see right through this

@darthsmurfer @NickTesseyman @toddcmiles @andyblarsen We did split the 4/5 extra combos, but was it confirmed it was specifically the extra tied 4/5 combos we got? The coin flip only mattered if neither moved up, so coin flip is completely irrelevant no? @andyblarsen

@utahjazzfan47 @jsjjazzfan78 I think this is probably the main reason it's not televised. And if you don't reveal the numbers/teams who won as they are drawn to create suspense for later, it isn't interesting to watch

@Splashh_Gordon Jazz fans 🤝 Wiz fans

Omg lfgoooooooo

[Tyler @Tyler_Dota2]

@jpottingaround Their entire franchise is largely based on absurd luck. They maximized talent for sure, but what do they win without robinson/Duncan/wemby gifted to them

[Tyler @Tyler_Dota2]

@hansenjames Yes. The tie breaker was only if neither team wins a top 4 lottery spot. And they split the % chance at #1 pick

And this right here, what just happened in Indiana, is why making an example of the Jazz was a short-sighted decision/slippery slope.

1) Zubac returns to action from extended time off, plays heavy 1H minutes. Looks good scoring 8 PTS (4-6 FG).

2) Nembhard drops 23 PTS (!) in the 1H in just 17 mins.

They both disappear at halftime, and dont play a single 2H second in what was a respectably close game for a majority of it.

Pacers (a team with losing incentive) lose.

Sound familiar?

The franchise comms team will likely issue an injury management explanation to avoid the eye of Secaucus Sauron/refute the imminent tanking allegations.

Is it possible both players got sore in the locker room/hurt in the first half? Sure, I guess.

The point here is that by fining the Jazz for conduct detrimental to the league, NOT (⬅️) a Player Participation Policy violation, your games are now going to be under the microscope in the event this type of starter rotation activity occurs again.

You can’t just fine one franchise and hang their reputation from a tree to scare the other citizens from replicating the same behavior.

That selective enforcement is what put you in the spotlight originally, because Jaren Jackson Jr./Lauri Markkanen ended up either getting surgery or having a legitimate hip injury keeping them out for the foreseeable future.

Nembhard/Zubac may end up experiencing something similar to JJJ/Markkanen, they may not, but the inconsistent enforcement WITHOUT knowing their personal medical records is reflective of a business that only steps in when the seat gets hot.

The Jazz ended up winning some of those games they were so highly scrutinized for.

The Pacers lost tonight.

This alone does not justify penalizing the Pacers, because Micah Potter was trying to win just as much as Brice Sensabaugh was for Utah.

Players dont tank.

If you’re not going to fine the Pacers for this tonight, then just give the Jazz governors their $500,000 back, because this hypocrisy is what’s damaging the league reputation more than the integrity of the game.

@FlaggshipEra @Saelgon_ @ktownmac35 @NickVanExit Being gifted a #1 pick for trading Luka to LA for free is something other rebuilding teams can't compete with, gotta use other measures

Checks bio, says lds, yep

[Jake Hatch (Yawk) @JakeHatch]

Never forget the epic tank job the Golden State Warriors put on in 2012 to avoid having to convey their first round pick to the Utah Jazz that became Harrison Barnes & helped launch Golden State’s dynasty. This is why I’m over anyone whining about the Jazz tanking. Find another whipping boy. The NBA created this & forces teams to do it to have a chance to compete #TakeNote

[Chappy 🇧🇷 @itschappy]

What the NBA did by giving the Mavs the No. 1 pick last year so they could get Flagg was messing around with the integrity of the NBA.

[Tyler @Tyler_Dota2]

We did this the 2 years before last year. Didn't tank, out performed expectations and were rewarded with the 9th and 10th picks. Completely wasted years. No one cheered us. We got clowned for not tanking. The hypocrisy is so annoying

[Demon Onsi @Preet410_]

Adam Silver better be watching this tank race.

Wizards, nets, pacers, Utah all actively tanking. Reward the teams that just suck but are trying
