Game Thread Dec 21, 2024 05:30PM MT: Utah Jazz @ Brooklyn Nets

Added to Calendar: 12-21-24

Is this an all-time low record for posts in a game thread? I do miss having a competitive squad with the playoffs to look forward to.
 
A couple of thoughts on the status of the tank:

- I'm glad we play in the West and don't have to play these jokes of teams as often.
- BKN was able to get significantly worse by offloading Schroder. We likely only need one or two moves to be significantly worse.
- Our rookie are bad enough that when Ainge starts forcing Hardy's hand, we will not have any problem losing.
 
As so often happens in life, people advocating for something aren't really interested in its consequences. The few people posting in this thread do not appear to be those who shrieked and clamored for a tank.
Or they still watch the games and read up on posts just realizing we are in a different slower season.

Yeah in this forum I'm just a long time lurker mostly, but I'm a tank supporter who's watched pretty much every game. I still check on posts and read Andy Larsen's triple teams after every game. I know it's going to be slower and a little less exciting to talk about.

I think there will be plenty of people posting if the Jazz win the next game. Maybe not during the game itself, but there will be full-blown panic posting if we have a three-game winning streak, all on the road, with the last game coming against the best team in the league.
 
Sleeping giant has been awaken. Its gonna take a lot to stop this playoffs bound train now! Two, and counting! Strong team after strong team bows down upon our greatness. Future is bright!

And for the actual take... Holy **** Nets is bad. Also, Svy had a really nice first half but I still don't know what's their plan with him.
 
We need to lose...... I can't do another 7-10 pick. A generational draft and we're still playing our vets full minutes every night while the other teams sit their starting rosters.... I don't get it.

How does this get us closer to being a championship team "in 10 years" when we cant do anything properly? Yeah, let's watch JC, sexton, and Lauri play 30 minutes a game so we miss the playoffs and missing getting a good pick. Horrible management

We won games with injuries to key players. I do think it sucks the Jazz FO arent sitting their best players vs these bad teams, but it's w/e. Playing in the West will ensure we finish in the bottom 5
 
Who else is sitting their max player? The Nets were playing Cam Johnson, who is their best player.

The real issue is we are starting a guy like Svi instead of Collier/Sensabaugh.
Let's see. The pelicans are sitting their entire starting roster (Zion max player). The 76ers are sitting their best players. The Brooklyn nets are trading or sitting their best players (3 out of their top 4 leading scorers were sitting or 1 got traded). Don't give me that ******** that no one is doing it. The nets are doing it and you don't even know who's on their team.

If we sat 3 out of 4 leading scorers every night, we'd lose more games. The nets know what they're doing, the Jazz do not.

The Pelicans are not sitting their players. BI/Zion are injured. They are still starting 4 guys in their starting lineup who were all in the Ringers top 100 players.

Cam Thomas was injured. They arent just sitting him

The Jazz have sat their players when injured.
