When your team absolutely sucks then sure it's ok to be fine with bottoming out. But wanting them to lose when they don't absolutely suck and expecting them to deliberately lose is another thing.

People here were bitching and moaning last season because the team who was 6 points out of a playoff spot was still trying to pass Montreal. Not 16, not 26, 6! That's absolutely ridiculous.
