Miami Vs Philadelphia

The who wants to lose cup. If Miami get a top 10 pick this year they keep it. If they get 11-30 then the picks goes to Philadelphia. Since Miami can't make the playoffs it is in their best interest to lose as they currently have the 10th worst record in the NBA.

So who does Miami start for the Game
G - Zoran Dragic
G - Tyler Johnson
F - James Ennis
F - Henry Walker
C - Mike Beasley
only 1 sub in first half
F - Udonis Haslem

....and they are up by 18 points.

Philadelphia are playing as much defence as what Australia played against Angola in the world champs in the second half!! .... the NBA needs to stop how crazy tanking has become

Early in fourth quarter, Miami by six. 4/5 starters have played all minutes, with Dragic (point guard) subbed for Haslem only (?) for 7 minutes. Craziness. Philly will lose on the scoreboard and win in the draft. They are the masters of tanking.

Philly have played hard all year long. After starting 0-17 have been competitive most nights despite having one of the least experienced teams in the league. They would have played their butts off tonight despite losing. For the second year in a row there will be teams with worse records. The Heat played 6 players with one only playing about 8 mins. They had 4 guys play 48 mins. I have NEVER seen that, yet I'm sure all we will hear about is how Philly tanked (Which management have done, for sure). Give me a break. The knicks and lakers on the other hand would never tank...

(This isn't directed at the above comment btw haha. Just getting frustrated with journalists and nba "experts".

Oh and other results needed to go the Sixers way. Pretty much everything that could go wrong, did draft pick wise due to OKC and Miami missing the playoffs.
