Added to Calendar: 04-04-23

I fear we're going to mess around and end up passing Dallas in the standings, maybe OKC as well.
I think we end up passing Dallas.. or ending in a tie with them. All we need to do is tank the OKC game and we should be able to hold the Thunder off. If the Thunder win their next and we lose its a wrap.

It's just dumb to bring Sexton back at this point and keep playing Lauri. We easily could've lost out and guaranteed ourselves the 9th draft spot.
 


Sexton coming back after a long time off probably doesn't play too well and will be on a minutes restriction. I think (hope) it doesn't help us win, but do look forward to seeing him play again.

The biggest risk, as it is with playing any of our long term pieces right now, is having someone get injured and losing their summer.
 
So now we're at a point where it's actually considered bad form to hope your team pulls off a win, no matter how unlikely?

Wow.

To each his own. Never was a tanker and never will be.
Serious question… how old are you and how long have you been a jazz fan? Or are you one of the ones that came over after the Markkanen trade?

I can take this one. He is - believe it or not - an adult man who came over in the Markkanen trade.
He has been stirring s**t on the Bulls and Cavs boards, and even the Finnish koripallo.com for years.
As several other Finns here previously, I too sincerely apologise on the behalf of my countryman.

Figures. I only asked because he treats me like some idiot that doesn’t give a ****. I was a fan back when it could be considered the golden age of jazz fandom in the 90’s where I got to watch the greatest duo in jazz history those teams played near flawless basketball. It was poetry in motion. We could beat anyone in the league we were one of the monsters in the league. It was just unfortunate that that was during the hight of MJ’s reign or we might have had multiple titles. Since after 98 I think we might’ve missed the playoffs a total of 3-5 times in the span of 1999 to 2023, half my life!!

It’s been that long of the same tird **** being great regular season team to being exposed in the playoffs going out in the first or second round every year except for that one year when we got lucky that the 8 seeded warriors beat the one seed mavs so we got to the west finals and got swept by the spurs as if we didn’t belong. Then the jazz decided to trade Deron in which the core four were born. Many… most jazz fans on this site wanted to give the core four starter minutes, learn on the fly… me, well… I wanted to win I contended that we needed the core four to sit and learn, learn to play ball the right way. By the way these were the Coach Corbin years. I had many arguments on here with other posters. I got my way and we made the playoffs as an 8th seed and got destroyed hopelessly by the spurs. We never fully developed the team, the core four fizzled out and we were in a never ending loop of being good not great, too good to improve the team, not good enough to do anything great and it’s been like that for years. If we have to lose games to get somewhere by god I’m here for it I’m just jonesing to get back to where we were back in 97-98. I want to feel what it’s like to tast gold with the Utah jazz. I’ve tasted it with all the other sports I root for the Braves two years ago and well the 49ers were a dynasty back in the day.

@Tremendous Upside if I want to lose it’s because sometimes you have to sacrifice by tearing it down to build it back up stronger than before. I WANT A CHAMPIONSHIP AND WE WONT GET THERE BY JUST BEING GOOD!! We’ve always been good I want greatness!! If we need to tank to get there there’s no disgrace in that it’s called doing what it takes to get to the top anything less is not being sane!!
 
When you get this treatment you know he doesn’t have a comeback and he knows he’s wrong.
What treatment? Just mind your own business. I don't care about you because frankly, you suck as a poster. No hard feelings. Just get out of my face, put me on ignore already and stop being a gossiping bitch.

The same goes for everyone else. If you can't stand me, do something about it. For the love of God, STOP READING MY POSTS AND REPLYING. It should be very easy. I'm not entertaining and I bring nothing of value to the board, so just tap that ignore button and I'll go away. Thank you!

What in the name of sweet baby Jesus are you talking about??!? :oops:

This is exactly what I mean. It's not healthy to allow someone to live in your head rent free like this. You get obsessive, you start seeing things and begin inventing stuff you have zero idea about.

I'll extend my offer to you too, my "Finnish" friend – just put me on ignore and stop speaking for me and about me. I'll do likewise.

Your English is getting pretty good. Keep up the work

My man... I generally don't like to waste energy by talking about other posters, but it has to be said: you're probably the worst obsessive case around here. You routinely dislike ALL my posts no matter what they say, and that's just not normal or sane. I think you should probably seek professional help.

The first step, though, is finally putting me on ignore. Stop me from getting under your skin once and for all! Please do it now.

First, hello it’s no secret I suck as a poster. I know it you know it everyone here knows it I’ve never tried to hide that. But you come on here doing nothing but act like we are idiot morons for wanting losses. A lot of us were here in the 90’s where we were truely one of the best teams in the league. We’ve been chasing that freeling for the past 20+ years. That’s why I asked how old you were and how long you’ve been following the jazz. You aren’t a part of any of our discussions, all you do is write the same damn thing everytime and it feels like you spitting in our faces. If you can’t handle the noise don’t dish it. All and I mean all of your posts sound like this. Oh we are so close another win we can do it oh we are so close to the playoffs come on guys, where as the rest of us are talking about how best to become contenders.

Everytime you talk about Markkanen you talk and make him out to be the biggest bitch in the nba like one losing season is going to make him tuck his tail and run. It’s always one or the other as far as posting goes.

All I was trying to do is help you understand where we are coming from then you had to go out and make it personal like a little bitch instead of having a discussion. Your ignorance posts are very tiresome and trolling at this point and everyone would agree with me. Most of the Lauri fans from Finland are actually great I don’t agree with them all the time but they add to the discussion, you don’t.

So ya put me on ignore. Lol that will show me. You were right about one thing I am a moron, and most certainly an idiot. You can take that to the bank!!

Ok I’m done now
