@utahjazzfan47 I went to this game because I was in town on business. Indiana tanked hard. It was not up to G league levels. Huff sat most of the game as did Indy’s other talent. Washing ton the same. It was hilarious. I had good seats so kept yelling at Carlisle “you’re better than this!”

@C2_Cooper Because they actually aren’t a a bad team? They decided to take a break for 1 season. Why isn’t. Boston sucking?

@FullAccessHoops @ShamsCharania Is it absurd though?

[El Guapo @neficole]

@GetUpESPN @alanhahn It’s predictable and disgusting that the large market based ESPN goons are now all on board with eliminating parity.

[Tankathon.com @tankathon]

I suggest not making league-altering draft changes to appease gambling addicts and professionals that just have to bet on late season Jazz/Wizards games, if that is a factor.

@Fullcourtpass @mcuban It only works if you eliminate outside money - aka shoe deals.

Why the NBA should embrace tanking -

The NBA has kate been misguided thinking that fans want to see their teams compete every night with a chance to win. It’s never been that way that way.

When I got into the nba, they thought they were in the basketball business. They aren’t. They are in the business of creating experiences for fans.

Few can remember the score from the last game they saw or went to. They can’t remember the dunks or shots. What they remember is who they were with. Their family, friends, a date. That’s what makes the experience special.

Fans know their team can’t win every game. They know only one team can win a ring. What fan that care about their team’s record want is hope. Hope they will get better and have a chance to compete for the playoffs and then maybe a ring.

The one way to get closer to that is via the draft. And trades. And cap room. You have a better chance of improving via all 3 , when you tank.

We didn’t tank often. Only a few times over 23 years, but when we did, our fans appreciated it. And it got us to where we could improve, trade up to get Luka and improve our team.

The nba should worry more about fan experience than tanking. It should worry more about pricing fans out of games than tanking.

You know who cares the least about tanking , a parent who cant afford to bring their 3 kids to a game and buy their kids a jersey of their fave player

Tanking isn’t the issue. Affordability and quality of game presentation are

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

Angry gambling companies reportedly played a part in Adam Silver punishing teams for tanking, per @BenGolliver

“Over-unders are at stake. You know, player props are at stake. If coaches are just willy-nilly not playing guys the entire game, and they’re not letting people know in advance that they plan to do that, you’re going to have a lot of angry gamblers and a lot of angry gambling companies as well.”

The Utah Jazz have become the face of the NBA's latest round of tanking discourse

But it's the NBA media, not the Jazz, that are the league's biggest problem: https://t.co/RkDs5BLjml
