don't get me wrong.. im not judging/criticizing the clippers like you are doing the knicks.. im just saying that it looks like a tank job when the clippers best player plays under 30 minutes. sam and chris didn't play at all yet they're ready and fresh for denver. i could be wrong, but i just remember the clippers getting a little criticism during that time.

here's a link of april 22nd, their first game against the nuggets http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=260422012

what the clippers did was playoff positioning...putting themselves in the best position to get further in the playoffs....and it worked...they got into the second round and eventually lost in 7 games to the suns....


the knicks, deliberately lost a game with no other purpose than to get the worst record possible....the grizzlies, knicks, and especially the heat do not deserve a top two pick....


i hope the clippers and minnesota get the first two picks....neither team has tanked and have tried to do their best regardless of how hopeless this season has been....
