Lauri and Collins out. Kessler questionable with an "illness."

 

[NUMBERICA]

it’s gonna be awesome when we get to the last game of the season and everyone can miraculously play (if there are no draft standings implications).

 

[SoberasHotRod]

I am legitimately surprised there is a game tonight. I don't know when the last time that happened.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz start 1/10 from the field (10%) and 0/4 from 3.

 

[MT Steve]

It's kind of funny how if I miss the first few minutes of a game, there's a great chance the Jazz are already down double digits when I turn it on.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Cody blew by MPJ with a cold-start and finished at the rim......I mean, it was goaltended, but it would have dropped.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Flip, Brice and Keyonte knocking down 3s to close the gap. Denver playing Deandre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji.

 

[KqWIN]

Sometimes I wonder if Brice would be a better player if he was a complete, selfish ballhog and never passed. His passing is a mess lol.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Collier, Sexton and Brice are 2/18 combined.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jokic wrong-foots a 60-foot heave at the buzzer. It drops.

 

[homeytennis]

It appears the tank is in good hands. We don't have Dok to combat Joker as he is in parts unknown currently.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Seven games remain in this storied season.

 

[homeytennis]

Cody had the second best +- on the Jazz. Victory all the way around. Hardy has a few days to get ready for the Hornets. That is a must lose game. Hardy needs to pull out the contusions and bone bruises. Based on tonight and recently I have concluded that KJ Martin and Springer aren't future puzzle pieces.

I know it's a schtick, but curious if you really have someone in mind that the upcoming game will make a difference for.

Every loss help the probability on the lottery balls. There is no guarantee if the Jazz lose out that they will get the No 1 pick. I'm all in for the Flagg.

As much as I want them to get Flagg, the worst seed never seems gets #1. Jazz have a 47% chance of getting the 5th seed with the worst record.

Dallas will probably get it.

Yeah, they really, really tried to devalue the worst record for the draft- everyone is ‘against the field’ so the only really valuable part is raising the floor order your pick.

Losses are still more valuable than wins right now. That is the only point that really matters.

I have worked in data science / ML for the last ten years where I've had to try and explain statistics to business leaders who prefer their "gut", but it still amazes me how unwilling people are to understand probabilities.

Yeah 14% isn't great, but the whole "the worst record never gets it" as a reason not to maximize chances is silly. Don't mean to be a dick, I get where people are coming from, but still
