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!
