This is Our Time: April 14 - Los Angeles Lakers @ Utah Jazz - 7pm MT

Nash and Gasol are legitimate injuries. So is Bazemore; he had season-ending surgery.
Kaman has a gimpy knee; no more suspicious than Marvin's injury. Like it or not, there's simply no reason for many of these guys to "cowboy up" and play.
 
The money line for this game is Utah -215 (bet $215 to win $100). The Jazz will win this...but if they don't I won't mind blowing $215. It'll be for a good cause.
 
This game could be like that Southpark episode where nobody wanted to win little league baseball games.

Or even like that badmitten match in the London olympics that neither team wanted to win so as to get a more favorable matchup in the knockout round.

Should be a barn burner.
 
We should just win this damn game against the fakers! I'm pretty sure the basketball gods will rewards the jazz by over jumping the fakers in the lottery draft. I watched the fakers play one quarter against the grizzles last night (3rd quarter) and they are pretty horrid that it's quite pathetic. I just couldn't stand watching them play, chucking up shots after shots like they are gonna actually hit it from that range. Blow out the fakers Utah!
 
You can bet the house the Jazz win this one. Our only chance is if the Jazz players drive U-hauls to the game.
 
Both teams will play decent the first 3 1/2 quarters and try to keep it relatively close.
The last 8 minutes both teams will desperately try to throw the game without it looking too obvious. That could be the most comical 8 minutes of NBA ball ever televised! Must see TV!

Jazz are a 5pt favorite in Vegas. Never been more tempted to bet a Jazz game in my life. Easiest money ever tonight... right?

The technical term for this is the "Emotional Hedge Bet". Normally this is done when you want your team to win (and you bet AGAINST them)...so if your team wins, you're happy, but if they lose, at least you win some money as a consolation... I this case, we want to do an Emotional Hedge Bet for our team to LOSE. I've never done this before but it will work the same way. But the key here is to bet the money line (not the pointspread), because the Jazz could win the game by 3 points and it would be a double disaster...we win the game PLUS you lose money.
 
I haven't watched a game in a week or two. I will watch this one, and it will be the most bizarre feeling of my life, rooting for the Lakers to win in Utah yet knowing that the Jazz will probably win the game. Un-****ing-real.
 
Jazz by 40. Kanter will get his career high, Alec will go wild, and Hayward as usual will shoot poorly. Count how many times the Jazz production crew get close-ups of Ty. That would make a good drinking game.

If we have to win, I'd want to that way.
 
Just saying too, we thought we'd beat the bucks and then we got blown out by them. Unfortunately a lot of LA's guys are sitting out. Williams will be out tonight, maybe we'll see some other injuries too.

A quick history lesson on why we deserve to lose and have a higher draft pick than the Lakers:

1. Ocean beaches vs. Great Salt Lake. Crashing waves, hot chicks in bikinis, underage drinking. Though we can at least compete in the latter, our own beaches are full of endless amounts of brine, constantly have airplanes flying over them much less the fact that actually stepping into the lake will cause you to contract 98 different diseases. Let us not forget the lake stink; as my grandpappy used to say, “Magna’s so ghetto even the lake stink won’t roll in.”

2. TV Shows Based in SC vs SLC. I watched ‘The OC’. I thought it was awesome – screw you if you didn’t like it. The girls were hot, the scripts were quirky and Ryan was a solid leading man as the misunderstood boy from Chino. Sure the second and third seasons derailed the show but didn’t the fourth season redeem it a little bit? In comparison, ask people what TV shows have been based in Utah and they’ll probably say Sister Wives and My Five Wives. Yes, the only two TV shows you can think of based in Utah feature polygamists who have to fill their wives up more than your F-350 at a Holiday station. Simply not fair and contrary to 99.9999% of how people actually live here.

3. Disneyland vs. Lagoon. Do I really need to go into depth here? Substitute Magic Mountain or even Knotts Berry Farm and it’s apparent that our own amusement park can’t compete. For too many years, families have had to load their minivans and venture down I-15 with their screaming infidels to actually have a good time. You owe us back, God. Speaking of which:

4. God vs. Soulless Assholes. Venture down to Hollywood and stroll down the Walk of Fame sometime and see just how godless this place is. Liquor store, porn store, Louis Vuitton store, etc. It's a scientific fact that there are more whores per capita in LA vs. anywhere in the world. Only in a place this ****ty can the Biebers and Kardashians pollute the earth with their existence. In comparison, I can’t even look out at my bathroom window while taking a leak and not see three church steeples rising towards the heavens. It’s apparent that God is on our side, but why hasn’t that translated into success? Of course, that leads to:

5. Championships vs. No Banners. The Staples Center features 16 championship banners in the rafters. You already know how many we have; The Bear will probably get one in a few years. It’s time to practice a bit of socialism and spread the wealth out.

In conclusion, **** LA. This is our time.
