How can a 15 game losing streak be longer than 15 games?
what if the Jazz say fuck it and just win the championship
15 games would be like the 30th longest losing streak in NBA history
We’re way ahead of you. Already lost our last 6
Amick is the good one right
The Lakers are doing the work right now for the Pelicans lol
Usually more tanking start happening when team know they have no chance in the playoff
The full article is worth a read.
>I think when Adam came out and made those statements about tanking, people basically decided they’ll fake it, right? We can fake it for a little bit, and it’s not going to hurt us. Wins early on aren’t going to hurt you.
But I disagree with that last sentence. Wins early on are equal to wins later on in the lottery. Teams that want to tank are going to regret not pulling the plug sooner if they end up in the mid first round.
>Nobody starts 0-10
The process Sixers started 0-18 actually
The longest 10-15 game losing streaks tf does that even mean lmao? How is one 15 game losing streak longer than the other 15 game losing streak?
This all sounds like bullshit
Then change the rules. Also love Adam silver acting all upset that teams are doing this when they stream all of victors games on their own platform
…was our pick this year part of the Rudy trade?
Maybe Rob Pelinka forgot that the Pelicans can swap picks!
Longer than previous 10-15 game losing streaks!
Looks like the Colangelos will be back in work soon.
The part that doesn’t work here is that if there’s a bunch of teams tanking, those tanking teams will play each other enough times to break up each others’ streaks.
The longest losing streak will be more likely to be set in a year where less teams are tanking.
Bah gawd is that the Jazz music
The Hornets aren’t tanking. We just have a coach that actually believes Mason Plumlee is the best person to run our offense to close the 4th quarter. Also Lamelo will be out 6 more weeks due to too much sun in his eyes.
Man y’all keep saying it and it hasn’t happened, the Jazz are the top team in the west
What a terrible, terrible look for the league.
Bradley Beal, you can take your annual vacation early if need be. Same for you Porzingis.
I if wemby doesn’t pan out it’ll be funny to look back on all this
Yeah…tanking for Wenby. That’s what we’re doing.
Which teams are they expecting it from? (Thunder, Rockets, others?)
Some of these teams are sucking tanking to the mavs.
Thats what i said, the fix is gonna be in & expect utah to lose 10-20 games in a row, ainge is gonna trade Clarkson & Conley first, YOU HEARD IT HERE
What is the longest 15 game losing streak in nba history?
They been notice the lakers not so obvious tanking job.
Lol we’re already doing it! (To help Pels get Wemby)
When do the Lakers play the Rockets?
Gonna be very hard to catch the lakers in the loss column
Can we give SGA to a contender for one season then have him back afterwards? Any takers?
Imagine the mayhem if teams could loan out players.
This tanking talk is just so dreary and idiots in media with their ‘narrative’.
I’ve heard wayyy too much chatter about ‘historic tanking’ and that’s really not reflecting reality.
> the longest 10- to 15-game losing streaks
what the hell does this mean
Counterpoint: Some teams (See Lakers) Really, Really just suck.
Dudes are really trying to speak tanking into existence so it can become the big problem that needs to be addressed like they thought
Pretty sure the longest 15 game losing streak in NBA history is 15 games….
jazz finna start losing 3 games in a row then win 1 then lose 5 then find a way to tie a game then lose 7 in a row. this tanking is about to be art
