Miami won so they can lose to the Knicks on Wednesday and increase their lead in the draft lottery standings.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Yeah, I fear that game. Though I don't know why they would have to win tonight to do it.

Not going to happen. They play Houston on Wed :(
Memphis plays Sacratomato, and Seattle plays Wash.

So the tanking wont look too obvious.

Can Stern do anything about it? I mean was any team ever penalized in nba for tanking?

Now Memphis and Minnisota still got to play each other twice, if they could split wins, that would help a lot and might get us in position for third place.
Memphis also plays Miami once and plays against the Clippers.
Minnisota also got Milwaukee at home and will play in Charlotte, other than that, I really dont see a chance of them winning any of their remaining games.
So if we are lucky and do a really good tank job there is a chance at pick number three.

Now Seatle will host Charlotte and the Clippers, but I just dont see us getting past them!!!!

Which sucks BIG time, cause I want the second pick and Derrick Rose!!!

What they could do is change the odds so that the last place team isn't favored nearly as much. Also, they could add additional factors into how many lottery balls a team gets (e.g. a lottery ball bonus for finishing with the best record, among lottery teams, in the last month of the season -- and similarly, a penalty for worst record, among lottery teams).

But yeah, as I'm writing this I see the potential for over-complexity and confusion. Plus, if by chance, a team like this year's 50-win Western Conference non-playoff team won the lottery -- that would be crazy. So, while technically there are things Stern can do, I don't have the time to refine my ideas so that they could be a workable system. Maybe someone else does

Stern will be very disappointed.

Hey, the half-baked ideas are free. If the dude wants real work he's gonna have to pay.

For how long is the question. 2 must-lose games coming up and I don't have high hopes of losing either one of them.

Thank you, Rick Brunson.

NOTE:
Memphis and Minni play each other 2ice more. So either we gain 2 games on one of them or 1 game on each.
Memphis also plays Miami once, so there's another game we likely gain on Memphis.
Of course we can really help ourselves by losing to them tomorrow.

Minni also has a game against Milwaukee, who's also in tank mode.
