Schedule loss. Well-rested at home against an east coast team who has been struggling a bit. Guaranteed loss. We can't beat scrubs when we are well-rested at home, this is known.

This is not, I repeat not a must win game.

I think they’re short-handed right now, too. Kiss of death.

 

[NAOS]

Over/under on Niang’s point total tonight is set at 41.5.

Niangphoon coming soon.

Obvious over. Easy money.

And Embiid is out, so go ahead and ink in the L.

We'll play lazy. There will be talk of "righting the ship at halftime." We'll come out lazy. We'll mount a mini run in the mid third quarter that gets us back to about where the half time deficit was. We'll keep playing from behind. We'll try to kick it into gear in the 4th. We'll lose and the score will look a little bit closer than the game actually was.

Niang will be blowing by our guys on the perimeter into an open lane.

Or he will be hitting 3s left and right with a hand 4 feet away from his face.

We don't want the boys to get too tired tonight. After the game Quin and JZ will give them juice boxes and participation trophies.

After an 18-2 run in the fourth by the Jazz we'll only lose by five and the team and press will comment on how well we did. Just not quite enough....

Jazz are undefeated this season when they shoot over 33% from three.
It's really that simple. Make threes efficiently we win win. Don't and we lose. (And 33% isn't even really efficient but it's been enough to win)

 

[slc]

So is Rudy Gay going to play tonight?
Even for 5 minutes?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

This is the most must win game of the season thus far.

I am boarding up windows now... get ready.

Why are you being rational? Can't you see we are all getting ready to eat those sour sour grapes?

 

[KqWIN]

We win by 20+ tonight.

I think these all need to convert to "must not lose" games.

 

[str8line]

If we lose tonight we need to sacrifice something. Maybe a castration of some sort.

That's the crazy and frustrating thing. As bad as the Jazz defense has been, as a team they still get more open and wide open looks than they give up. Meaning the Jazz are getting better looks and more of them and missing them but when the end result is a miss it is harder to notice and remember.
