Do you want the Jazz to win their last game against the Wolves?

[idiot]

Going from a 10% chance at 6th to a 20% chance at sixth in a draft that imho is 4 deep is reason enough to lose.

If the draft is really 4 deep (and the difference between 5 & 6 is relatively small), that would be reason to win, not to lose.

The odds of a top-4 draft choice don't change no matter what happens tomorrow. EDIT: other than what @gandalfe said a few posts above. (So the better way to say it is we can't increase our odds of top 4 by losing tomorrow.)

People put too much trust in the experts declaring a draft four-deep or five-deep. The experts are always wrong. You can google and see that there was an expert consensus that Fultz is the number one pick and that Josh Jackson is a tip-5 pick - and that in the draft were Mitchell was drafted at 13, Adebayo at 14, Markkanen at 7 and Jarred Allen at 22. And that is true pretty much for every draft.

Sure, but you are picking in a landmine when you draft later vs getting more of a sure thing higher.

That's true but it is a totally different issue than drafting 5th "in a draft that imho is 4 deep".

My pet theory is that the league has told the Jazz they'll receive a top-4 pick, which is why the Jazz didn't tank the Portland game and why Ryan said on the broadcast last night that the "Jazz are due to move up in the draft."

But that's probably me over-reacting.

That’s a good theory as far as making me feel good. Unfortunately, it probably loses out to the theory that Ryan is exercising the Quin Snyder theorem, which is to say someone with really good knowledge and some level of sophistication (in Ryan’s case, developing Qualtrics) but somehow inexplicably appealing to the gambler’s fallacy (in Quin’s case believing that Terrence Mann can’t outshoot his season numbers on wide-open threes).

Oh wow that is so enlightening. I thought that they got every player right every year. Never any busts or diamonds in the rough.

Looks like the Jazz FO doesn't agree with the majority of us. Everyone is out tomorrow.

They can kiss my ***.

Think they have to committ to the bit more than anything. If everyone is just suddenly healthy that kind of signals you've been lying the whole time.

I keep forgetting that there are now 4 lottery spots available and not 3.

**** today's jazz game. Jazz ain't gonna win that game lolololol
I just want the wizards to win their final game against the heat. Which is also lolololol but t-wolves are much better than the heat.

One nice thing about this is that the Heat are locked into the 10 seed for the playoffs/playin tournament. So they have nothing to play for.

I just want this abortion of a season to be over, I really don't care who wins this game. The result isn't going to significantly effect anything.

 

[fishonjazz]

After being down by like 7 for most of the early part of the game, the wizards are currently leading 38-31 against the heat.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

Jazz must win so that we can get one more @JazzAvenues post before the season ends. I want to hear the Wolves fans whine. I believe in karma so I think a win today would be good karma going into the lottery.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

The one thing that cannot happen is the Jazz getting the sixth pick

 

[fishonjazz]

Wizards only playing 7 guys lol. And Sarr only played 16 minutes and was playing really good.
Luckily both guys who played off the bench are killing it and it looks like the wizards have an ok lead.

 

[fishonjazz]

Watching these last few minutes and i have never seen such garbage play as the wizards are playing.
Go to the line miss both free throws
Throw lobs way too high on easy fast breaks
Turnover at the top of the key with insanely sloppy ball handling leading to an and one
Really long three point shot too early in the shot clock
Bricks galore.

They had a somewhat easy win and now are going lose. Miami just took their first lead since the first quarter and there is only 25 seconds left. Good hell

 

[fishonjazz]

Down 2 with 25 seconds left and the ball, the wizards take a long 2 point shot brick. Game over.

 

[fishonjazz]

Sarr played 16 minutes and had 10 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal. 16 minutes. SMH

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Honestly, telling the young guys it's the last game of the year and to full court press all game would be fun. He'd probably cook them, but would increase the chance of pissing him off and getting a tech so he has to miss the playin game against Memphis

I’m guessing the nba is telling refs to be very patient with Ant. Last thing they want is for one of its premier players to miss the plane
