The Blunder Games: The 2018 NBA Tanking Thread

[TheBlackDeath]

Creating a thread dedicated to watching teams find creative ways to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. This is significant because this is the last year before lottery reform, flattening the odds of the top pick for the 3 worst teams and increasing the odds for teams after.

As it stands, we have 7 teams 20 or more games below .500.

This is here to monitor bizarre rotations, perplexing injuries, and extraordinary exercises in futility.

With that being said...

7 teams all within 2GB of the worst record

Just came in to say that these teams merely adopted the tank while 2011 Bobcats were born into the tank, molded by it. They didn't see a winning season until the team decided to change its name.

Imagine tanking for a bust

Only to have Donovan Mitchell picked 14th and be rookIe if the year. Yeah be Sacramento and be permanent tank status

[CarltonJunior]

Finally a place where I belong...

We had a fantastic tank effort last night blowing the game inbounding the ball

 

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

I honestly don't think Phoenix is gonna win more than 3 games the rest of the way. They don't normally like to tank but they lucked out with Booker and Ayton is playing in there back yard. I think they go full retarded and make sure nobody out tanks them the rest of the year.
