This is a must lose game. Think lose.

I'll be there and cheering for a win.

I have no fear that my cheering will lead to anything other than a loss, but it would be pretty lame to go to an away game in Jazz gear and cheer against the Jazz.

I honestly don't care that much on wins and losses and haven't since we secured a bottom 3 record. Although, somehow Washington losing has made me more interested in getting the worst record. I think it's within our control now, and so I like that.

The only thing I care about to end the season is big games from Flip and Collier so they can both slip onto 2nd Team All-Rookie. As it stands I think Flip would just miss the cut, but big final games could move the needle.

I know finishing below Washington matters, but a 20% to get 6th instead of 5th isn't enough to make me care in this draft that feels feels like there's four clear top players. We've maximized best odds for Flagg and Harper so I'm good. Plus there's no way we finish 3-2 to even open a scenario where we would have a coin flip with Charlotte, I'm considering them not a problem anymore.

Kessler out for this one along with Collins and Lauri.

What’s the deal with Cody Williams being shut down with an illness?

He has Mono.

Jazz are 16 point dogs at this moment.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Jazz are too good for these fools

Jazz broadcast is interviewing Taylor Hendricks. He just said he's up to 243 lbs. That would be about 30 lbs gained this season. He says he wants to play at about 235.

Jazz are getting deep at the 4 with Collins, Hendricks, Filipowski and, to be honest, Lauri, who's more of a 4, imo.

243 is crazy for him.

What are the Pacers playing at here?

 

[homeytennis]

Scrappy little bunch playing for Soberashotrod in the first half. Hardy might have to weave some magic in the second half to bring home the L.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz need the Pacers to win this also to keep the Pacers ahead of Minnesota record-wise.

 

[homeytennis]

Hardy appears to be doing his job at the moment.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz's lack of playmaking and on-ball creation showing up here in the 4th quarter. Guys are driving at the rim and flinging passes out to 3pt shooters, but otherwise we're just limited off the dribble. It makes the Jazz pretty easy to defend.

Jazz really need someone with both size and real ball skills.

 

[homeytennis]

Former Jazz great Tony Bradley +9 in the box for 1.55 of playing time.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Glad I missed this one
