Wolves Lose. Way To Go!

PA and Dubay are talking yesterday morning about how depressing the 3rd game of the Wild's series with Anaheim made them feel.  Then one of the guys says; "On a brighter note.  Jason Richardson and the Golden State Warriors Crush the Timber Wolves last night to officially make us the 6th worst team in the league.  Whoo Hoo!  Way to go Golden State.  Congratulations Timber Wolves you did it!  We now have a good chance at getting our draft pick. 

It seems like the Wolves have been putting forth less than full effort for quite some time now and it will hopefully pay off with a good draft pick.  (Who am I kidding.  Kevin McHale will probably trade the pick to McDonalds for some french fries and a large coke, but still manage to have to pay extra for the hamburger.)  I listen to other NBA game wrap ups as the season winds down, I hear about the top seeds not playing their top players so they will be rested for the play offs.  This whole idea of not giving your full effort to win every game reminds me of the big uproar over last years U15 Eclipse Girls team playing possession when they were down 0-1 in their final game of pool play at the national tournament so they would get to play a weaker team in the Semi Finals.  They won their first two games.  They didn't need to win their last game.  They earned the right to take it easy and enjoy the 110 degree heat while resting up for the semi finals.

Looking back at the video now, are people still upset they did not play to win the game?  They did win the tournament and that was their goal.  Do people think it was smart to play the way they did?  Does it come back to watching professional teams and athletes and imitating what they do?  Would they have given their full effort if we always saw every team on TV giving their all to win?
