What teams might be tanking already?

Raptors, Wizards, Kings - I have the feeling these teams aren't giving it their all.

These teams will play better after the trade deadline.

The 3 teams you mentioned all suck. We'll never know if they're tanking it because it always appears that way. A winning streak would me much more recognizable.

Agree with kings and wizards, but T-wolves are trying hard, they were close to bucks the whole game last night, and were fighting at the end. They're not too good, i know, but they haven't given up. plus they're young and the coach is trying to teach them end game strategies.

Yeah, I took out the T-Wolves (before I saw this post) and I changed T-Wolves to Raptors.

My experience when it comes to bad teams "tanking" post ASB is that it won't become "obvious" until the last 10 games or so. Until then, they generally will play awful against elite/good teams, and play fairly well against bad teams - they need to keep their fanbases and season ticket holders reasonably happy, so they generally don't blatantly tank. But no one can fault these teams openly when they lose big against good teams, so they do.

I've found value at this time of the year to lean on elite teams playing these bottom teams, even when laying big points. Bulls tonight -8.5 @ raptors is a good example.

Funny you didnt include the team with your screen name, but they arnt really tanking, they couldnt win a game if they tried.

I was just about to start a new thread about this....not so much who but when. Seems like a lot of cappers on here got burned last year in late March and April because of this.
