GAMETHREAD: Jazz hosting Lakers - 1/16 7pm (mst) ROOT

Per Bill Oram on Twitter...

"NBA coaches have the hardest time with Gordon Hayward's name. Last night, Byron: "Haywood? Haywood? ... Hayworth?" D'Antoni struggled, too."

This crap really pisses me off. Talk about no respect. Guess these coaches aren't literate. Probably 5th grade education.....

Lol - this reminds me of Tracy McGrady not knowing the correct pronunciation of Deron.

I am so ready to watch Gobert and Favors literally decimate the lakers front court. I say 13 blocks as a team and Gobert gets 8 of them

Gobert: 13 points, 12 rebounds, 8 blocks, 2 assists and a steal

Favors: 24 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 assist and 1 steal

Jazz win by 19


GO JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is probable that if the Jazz win by 19, Jeremy Evans will get 8 pts 8rbs and 3 blocks and then RG and DF will have less #'s...

And I of course agree with:

GO JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Lakers have a lot of backups. This is all going according to plan for them. Theire pick is only top-5 protected, so that is where they'll finish. It's pretty clear the bottom three teams will be NY, Philly and Minnesota. Boston is now tanking hard; they'll get the #4 slot. The Lakers will then need to cross their fingers and hope no one jumps ahead of them in the draft. That's what happened to Detroit last season, IIRC. Cleveland winning the lottery cost them their pick (it was top-8 protected).

As much as I hate LA, I don't want Phoenix getting a #6 pick. They're already good enough.

Once Kobe leaves, L.A. will sign some big FAs and they'll have Randle. They're going to be good again, and the last thing we need is having them get a top 5 pick in this draft. I'd rather see Horny on top of the league than Laker scum.
 
At least you have a choice. Lakers game not being shown in LA. Guess that's how bad the Lakers have fallen.

Really? Even with their obscenely-lucrative TV deal? That strikes me as odd, regardless of how bad they are.

EDIT:It'll be on Time Warner Sports Network in CA.
 
Kobe *will* not play. The game hasn't happened quite yet.

Perhaps time is not linear. Perhaps what happened, what's happening, and what will happen is one and the same.

Good start for OKC. Exciting first half. Awesome play by Westbrook at the buzzer!
