Gods, you are just as dramatic today as you were 6 years ago. **** man, find some balance and peace. Or, just get some meds.

It's literally becoming an ideology for some of you to defend the Jazz at all costs much like how the GOP defends it's idiotic stances no matter the cost.

Arguing with some of you who cheer Jazz wins today is like arguing with a conservative about universal health care or the (failed) trickle down economic policy.

No matter the amount of facts or examples, you folks just keep on your merry way and insult those who don't share your opinion. It's okay, I've been on here long enough to see this play through. Whether you folks were defending Curtis Borchart, AK47, Kirk Snyder, Ty Corbin, Gordon Hayward, etc. I know that I've been right most of the time and you nonsensical homers have been wrong most of the time.

The Jazz need to continue to lose and do their part in ensuring the highest draft pick possible. This draft is all about Wiggins/Parker. Unless we get 1 of these players then we will be in a similar situation next year. We need a superstar. It's that simple. The Detroit Pistons were an outlier. Don't pattern your team after outliers.
 
Guys stop being such lames.

We going to get Air Gordon.

Hell ya!

A 6 foot 8 PF who has no range besides a dunk and shoots 41 percent free throws!

Sure, he has zero game! But he dun dunk reel good! Like black grifen jumpin one of dem Asia cars! Yahoo!

We will for surr win da championship now!
 
Was it as bad as y'all are saying?

Yes.
It was a certain loss for the jazz and then the refs iced aflallo at the free throw line and he missed one so we were only down by 2.
Hayward drives into the teeth of the defense and is swarmed with only one lane to make any kind of pass (right along the baseline).
Hayward jumps into the air and with no where else to go, heaves the ball with all he has to Trey who is right there in the corner.
Orlando closes out nicely on trey and almost block his shot. Shot goes in. I get extremely pissed off

Would have been much better if the jazz would have won easily like i thought they would instead of giving me so much hope. They had this loss in the bag.
 
and we are already out of getting parker & wiggins anyway. not much separates from #5 to #9

There is actually this thing called the lottery. Every loss could get us a better chance at winning it. Every win hurts our chances at getting wiggins or parker.

If we get gordon. Fine. But this win could have been the difference between getting gordon and getting wiggins/jabari.
 
It'll be one thing if losing guaranteed a pick like in the NFL. This is the NBA where the team with the worse record rarely wins the lottery. Right now this team is full of young undeveloped talent finding ways to win could be argued is equally as important as finding a superstar. Superstars rarely do anything beside getting there teams into the playoff (or playoff contentions depending on the strength of the conference) if they don't have the right team around them.

I would agree with this post somewhat except for 2 things.

1. Beating a horrible orlando team while at home on a desperation shot in a game that doesn't matter is not all that important imo.
2. Though its not like nfl where losses guarantee draft position, it still increases odds when you lose.
 
Wins like this are what might end up keeping us in the lottery for a few more years.

I am actually hoping the jazz will make the playoffs next year. this game most likely didn't help that to happen

What happened last year, the year before that, and any and all years before that......... has nothing at all to do with the lottery this season.

It increases the odds of winning the lottery to have as many losses as possible. Every year. Period.
 
Good news everyone! I just played the lotto game on ESPN and on my first try the Jazz got the 2nd pick and landed Parker!

First pick went to the Lakers who took Wiggins.

per 36

trey
14.6/3.5/ 6.1ast .382 fg% .916FT% 2.1 tov

d will
13.5/3/5.6 42.1fg% .704FT% 2.3 tov


trey's problem is his inconsistent shooting which is a result of a tired leg, not enough ball movement. settling for jumper because balls don't move and he doesn't get easy baskets. trey's shooting will be fine down the road. 90%+ FT shooter doesn't shoot below 40%fg. he will get better.

improve shooting, be more aggressive, and let trey run the show. his number will drastically increase by 3rd season.

I hate comparing rookie trey to rookie deron, dwill had perhaps one of the best pg coaches of all time designing plays for him. Trey has a guy who says swing the ball around the perimeter until a post player gets open enough to catch it, then be ready for a shot with < 3 seconds on the shot clock.

Big difference
