That's exactly what "tanking" is...fielding a roster that is not competitive.

No one is "losing games on purpose".

You are the one that is confused about what "tanking" is. Players are not losing games intentionally.

quote:I follow Bob Voulgaris on Twitter, one of the best follows out there for NBA. He's always talking about subtle tank moves by teams. One, for example, is for a coach to go straight to constant pressure defense when the opposing team reaches the bonus early in a quarter. It's little, hard to notice things like that.
