I spent Sunday afternoon watching the Memphis Grizzlies drop 130 points in their victory over the Detroit Pistons. This is same Grizzlies team that lost to the Sacramento Kings on Friday. Well, not exactly the same. Memphis held out Marc Gasol for “rest” against the Kings. I’m sure having their All-Star caliber center wouldn’t have swung a two-point game. Definitely no tanking happening Memphis.
I know many Kings fans point the finger at Vivek or Vlade Divac or Dave Joerger for failing to tank properly. Others get mad at the NBA for failing to properly address tanking.
