The worst part about the tanking situation is that so many teams are doing it, a healthy portion of the NBA fan base is going to be even more disappointed than usual come draft time. And if OKC or the Celtics somehow gets a first or second pick, the existential devastation is going to tough to come back from.
In the way it may be in the long term "best interest" of the young players on a tanking team to lose games, and yet they compete to win anyways, I choose to believe fans are allowed to participate in that same way. Why not win? It goes against he inherit nature of a competitor to play for a loss. It goes against the nature of a fan (a true fan) to root for a loss.

See this is why you bet Egor over 2.5 3's every day. A reason to feel good, win or lose.
Also I can't remember who said it but MPJ's looks like a create-a-player where one of the three "hair" sliders is locked in place for some reason.
Excellent stuff. Incoming MPJ 40-piece to fully set off the Knicks death spiral
