Cant lose to the wolves twice in a season or else you are declared ineligible for the playoffs. Must win game.

 

[The Thriller]

When will the twolves ever be out of rebuilding mode? The last time they were good was what... 2004ish?

I had a dream last night that we lost another game to Washington.

about time, that was a long 2 days...amazing how much more I look forward to games when my team is playing well...

Going to set myself up with a Cafe Rio burrito (enchilada style) for this game. If the Jazz win i'll celebrate with some ice cream and if they lose i'll mask the pain with some ice cream.

if those games were 5 quarters Utah wins both going away but they’re called quarters because they’re only four of them...best to play all four...

It shouldn't be like this, but somehow these guys give the Jazz problems. We need to buckle down from the start. Don't give them any hope right from the start.

[fishonjazz]

If you want a literal answer, 2017-18: 45-37.

Basketball Reference says they should have won 48 games in 2013-14, based on their point differential (though they only won 40, somehow).

But yeah, if you want an answer that feels right, then 2004 works.

If KAT is motivated he can pull Rudy away from the rim and score in the paint. Means the Jazz perimeter defense has to step up without the security blanket... which is never a great bet.

It would require a hot shooting night for them and a rough shooting night for us... it can happen but we should be just fine.

But look how good we have been doing just playing 2 of them. Snyder's 2-quarter-effort system is nearly flawless!

We definitely have the ability to let DLo and Edwards combine for 12/21 from deep.

If Dallas beats the Lakers today, they'll be just 1.5 games behind LA for the 5th seed and they'll own the tie-breaker.

The more important game is the Mavs beating the Lakers tonight
