Worst social media hashtag

The Fesenko goes to… #TankNote.

To the people who started this movement, I totally feel you. There’s undeniably a method to the madness of tanking and, when you started the #TankNote hashtag, the Jazz were just a handful of games out of securing the pingpong balls needed to vie for a top draft pick.

As bloggers, it’s our job to take the latest in Jazzland, make it interesting/entertaining and keep everyone engaged with what’s to come and #TankNote is just the vehicle certain folks chose to ride or die with. That’s all this thing was and for that…I salute them.

It just proved to be spectacularly wrong. The Jazz won nearly 50 games and are among the elite eight of the league after Round 1 of playoff action. Few could have predicted this level of turnaround, but a lot of us felt pretty strongly that 19-28 wasn’t an accurate representation of what was brewing in the Wasatch Front.

You’re still rad, you of the #TankNote movement, but this one didn’t even draw iron.
