Indy only tanked on purpose this year AFTER they came out of the gates flat and couldn't perform. IND was slated to be a playoff team before the season began. They were treading water (15-28) until Turner was out for the season. After which they promptly decided to go all in on the tank and traded Sabonis.
But it begs the question, why did a very talented IND team start the season so poorly under RC? They had the 2nd worst defense in the league.
