To tank or not to tank?

Interesting situation in the NBA tonight: the Clippers play the Grizzlies in a game where the loser will probably be better off than the winner.

Due to the way the NBA seeds its playoffs, the winner of this game will probably get to play Dallas (60-21) in the first round, while the loser will probably get to play Denver (44-37).

Deadspin's solution is to change the rules for this game so that the points the Clippers and Grizzlies score go to the other team, rather than for themselves - guaranteeing they will both play hard!

So you're a battling Tennessee family, struggling to make ends meet, and you've saved up all your money all year to get to one home game, and that's the game you get. Something just doesn't seem right about it.

In the meantime, check out this guy's take on the weirdest things in the NBA this season.

My favourite:

Darius Miles was whistled for a defensive three-seconds violation after stopping to tie his shorts while standing underneath the basket.

This is my favourite : To help lighten the mood in the Miami Heat locker room, Pat Riley performed a 15-minute dance routine to the Doobie Brothers' Listen to the Music.
