I remember Locke saying a while back the reason that won't go ahead is timing, i.e., in a LA vs NY matchup, LA fans can't watch an early game in NY, and NY fans won't watch a late game playing in LA.

Another strong reason is simply history, culture, you know basically the fact that fans and media and all are attached to the format, it has meaning just because it is.
 
This season has been painful, exasperating, thrilling, and dominating all in one, and we are barely over half way.

I just wonder what's next...
 
Tonight's games:

Spurs @ Nets
Clippers @ Hawks
Rockets @ Bucks
Thunder @ Jazz

If the Jazz win and the Clippers lose Jazz are in sole possession of 4th. If the Rockets and Spurs also lose the Jazz will only be 3 games out of 3rd and 5 games out of 2nd. They'd also have a 3.5 game lead on Memphis and a 4 game lead on OKC.

Race for 8th:

Kings @ Pistons
Cavs @ Pelicans

actually lakers is also in the running for race to 8th. only 4.5 games back. and they are in last place
 
I'd love for that Memphis game to be for a 10 game win streak. OKC and Denver back to back is tough, but we are the better team and at home. Hope we can pull it off.

Then hopefully a laugher on TNT against the Lakers.

Should be a fun week!


Edit: oh damn we go to Denver. We still got this. Gobert gonna destroy Jokic.
 
It's ll going really well but hey, It'd be nice to give Rudy some rest at some point.. I live in the terror of a silly injury just ruining the season.. 2/3 well placed games of rest in the season would really reassure me.

Unless that player is Gobert, JimLes. I don't see the Jazz as better than .500 if Withey and Diaw are rotating at the 5. Or with Favs and Trey Brick Lyles as the 4/5 combo.

Rudy is our superstar. Jazz would struggle without him.

The Jazz would drop off defensively, but the offense would still be passable. The Rockets without Harden would struggle to create anything, and they're already garbage defensively.

Rockets really turned their D around this season. I was wrong on that as well.
 
Mea culpa. I've only seen 3-4 games the Rockets have played this year and they've shipped 105-115 points in every one of them. I just assumed that's how their D normally is.
 
Half time and the Clips are up 18 on the road over the Hawks. :mad:

Rockets down early.

They play at an extremely high pace. Their defensive rating when controlled for pace is decent
