I am not optimistic about tonight's games. Orlando May be playing a pacers team that is resting three starters, but Orlando has shown a strong commitment to the tank. Their coach has caught the vision, and the players bought in early. Vucivic is out Jameer Nelson is out, Aflolololo has had mysterious injuries for key games all season long.
Meanwhile those pesky timberpups have killed the jazz this season, the jazz quit trying hard in early march, and maybe quit trying altogether in the 4 the quarter against the lakers. There is no reason to believe the jazz can win....which spells "trap game".
Orlando is 4-6 over their last 10. Where as Utah is 1-9 and has the longest losing streak in the league at 5. Utah is showing these other tanking teams how to finish a season (so far).
Two weeks ago people were freaking out that Utah would go into the lottery around 8th. Tonight during the final game they have a chance to tie for the third spot going into the lottery.
Utah stepped up when we needed them to.
We need n Orlando win and a Utah loss.
OR at least a:
Boston win.
