To tank or not to tank?
That is the question. To compete nobly and perhaps win too many games to get a top draft choice, or to surrender one's pride and shamelessly pile up defeats in the hope they lead to more future victories?
This morning, for instance, tormented Grizzlies fans are waking wondering whether they should be happy that their team came from 10 points down in the fourth to beat Sacramento.
On the one hand, hey, it's a victory, but on the other, look at the big picture. The Griz aren't going to the playoffs anyway (well, unless they rip off 30 straight wins after this one), and each victory feels almost like a loss because it hurts their chances of winning the lottery.
Desiring Oden
The temptation to root against your own team grows stronger in a season like this one, in which there's a clear prize at the end. In this case, it's Greg Oden, the Ohio State center who is dominating as a freshman despite playing with one hand.
And the consolation prizes doesn't look so shabby either, as Texas freshman Kevin Durant has been so dominant there's talk of his eclipsing Oden as the top pick.
As a result, lots of arguments have been made in favor of tanking the season, especially for the Philadelphias, Memphises and Bostons of the world. In fact, our resident Celtics fan recently wrote about this exact dilemma.
And suppose a team ends up with Oden. What are the odds that he will turn out to be an NBA superstar?
Better yet, what are the odds that he'll be
significantly better than the players taken three or four places after him?
Qua si dibatteva se valeva la pena nella NBA vera di "tankare" per Oden.
Valuta tu :gazza: :lol2:
per farla facile analizziamo il nostro torneo di boccette NBA;
Le solite contender, necessitano di lottery per giocarsela a maggio?
la risposta è no. Nemmeno da po o quasi se è per questo.
Da qua la perplessità a veder tankare da noi per stagioni e stagioni, con continuità assordante. Rimettendo stagioni nella vana speranza di vedere pikkato mandrake.
tutto qua.
è "for the love of the game" :lol2:
