Why? This is the one team I wanna beat. I don't want them in the playoffs if we ain't going.
Ok...Sucks for you? I don't care what happens with Tampa.
Pittsburgh and Chicago I love trampling but anyone else I don't mind losing to if it improves our chance in the lottery. The only thing I pray for each game, no matter the opponent, is that it's a high-scoring game and certain individuals (mostly the kids) can improve their stat lines.
For me, rooting for losses when were out of the playoffs is simply rooting for the long-term benefit of this team.
