But if he gets hurt, it will make it more difficult to trade him.

And the sky is blue. Good point.

This game will reinforce the tank I am afraid. Back to back with travel and first leg having been a competitive overtime win. Additionally Jazz have played well against teams with proper bigs but struggled a bit yesterday when Pels went with small switchable lineup and relied on McCollum for offense. Scoring guards seem to cause issues for our defense and Houston is heavy on those.

I hope we get to see some minutes for Ochai as well as Fontecchio and a Jazz team which would continue to play hard even if it is most likely running on fumes.

Yes, the absolute powerhouse tank of a team we have become. 4-0 after tonight.

If we indeed are 4-0 after tonight I might be forced to go find my old Jazz cap from nineties and proudly wear it for work tomorrow. This would be a much more daring feat if I was planning to actually go to office tomorrow though.

I want to win this game because I hate the idea of tanking but this game just feels like one we are gonna end up losing.

Back to back, 3rd game in 4 nights. Hard to play as hard as they have been playing under those conditions. I can see this being a loss. At the same time it's the Rockets so who knows.

This team needs a movie made about them if they make the playoffs.

 

[Elizah Huge]

We are currently 5th on NBA.com’s first power rankings of the season.

Last two of those games being OT, too.

If Hardy plays Mike tonight it means we're going for the #1 seed.

 

[fishonjazz]

Honestly we might be even better wothout conley out there. He is still old and tiny and is shooting horrendously this season.

Conley was also a minus 13 in plus minus last night. Worst on the team by alot. 2nd worst was THT and KO (tied) at minus 8

Jazz at 5th is such a joke.

We're undefeated. We should easily be ahead of the Suns and Warriors.

He had a rough game. He was +13 and +16 the two games before. He’s definitely part of the reason why we’re doing so good.

Especially when we beat the #7 and #9 on this list.
