Game thread..Pelicans @jazz.... tank tested

[Weezur]

I want a win against Spurs or GSW, but not here. Even though the chance of those wins is slimmer than Jeremy Evans.
I tank it to the limit

Tbh, I really just want a win because I've forgotten what it's like to not watch a blowout game

 

[mellow]

Dang, I just looked over on flash seats....16th row behind the Jazz bench only 35 bucks each. I need to get out this season before they get popular again.

 

[infection]

We only want wins against good teams because:

1. They're more exciting

and

2. The sucky teams need Ws to pad their winning %

 

[spycam1]

I can't agree with those of you who think we should tank at any cost. Tonight is our best chance of getting a win this month -- sorry, but there are records I never want associated with the Jazz and 0-17 is one of them.

Never having won a championship come 2040 sounds worse to me.

Holy **** no way......I would have jumped on that faster than Dal jumps on skinny genes.

Go favors.

Go favors.

Winning his match up with Davis would be huge for his confidence.

Put the Gobert in. Marvin is worthless and a crappy vet.

 

[spycam1]

Lucas, Jefferson, and Marvin on the court, and Burks on the bench. Corbin must have watched the college games last night, too.

I don't believe that, I do believe that Gobert should be getting more minutes though.

 

[Strutter]

What a pathetic call on that last Davis "block" on Favors.

I'm glad to see Derrick's aggression, though. He seems really dialed into tonight's game.

 

[Doublea]

Why is it that the opponents always look like they can hit every shot when the jazz play them

Have you watched Marvin play? He's hot trash

 

[nateboz]

Lou Admundson looks as if he would own a pink Corvette.

Yes after not playing basketball for 5 or so months. Last year he was in a completely different offense with big al demanding the ball. It made Marvin play a completely different game then he was used to. Look at his stats years past and we know he can do better, he also plays better defense then most players.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

God!!! Is Burks ever going to learn! That's the best shot you can get for either you or your team?

 

[The Norm]

Probably because a lot of them are uncontested

I hate to burst your bubble but he tore his achilles. That means he will never be as athletic or quick as he once was. He's a small forward who can't shoot and is now slower then last year. Don't expect him to do anything substantial.

-Unbelievable, how the refs just turn away and walk down the court as if it were clean. I don't even know if he touched the ball.
-Davis has great hands and is playing with nice aggression. He's already getting preferential treatment.
-Burks sucks. They have no respect for his jumper.

Garrett at least looks like a point guard!
