Game Thread Aug 13, 2020: Utah Jazz vs. San Antonio Spurs

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

We can only fall to 23 I thought?

The Jazz are now 44-28.

The 44-28 Heat play the 44-28 Pacers tomorrow. One will lose and jump us to 20 in the draft order. One will win and stay behind us.

The 44-27 Thunder play the Clippers. If they lose they will be tied with us to set up a coin flip.

The 44-27 Rockets play the 76ers. If they lose they will be tied with us to set up a coin flip.

How could 24 be possible?

Hopefully the Rockets and Thunder both win and we get 21 to salvage this.

You're right. We're at #21 right now, and we could drop to #22 or #23, depending on whether OKC and HOU lose tomorrow.

Lighten up Brooklyn, sure part of me wants the Suns but only Portland scares the Lakers!

I'm good if the jazz still land Jalen Smith

Maybe one of our young players was impressive enough that we can package him with our pick to move up 2 or 3 spots.... Tucker, for example.

So #22 + Tucker to move up to #19 to a team that doesn't want to develop Pokusevski or something (Brooklyn).

LaVert is ****ing ballin. When healthy, Brooklyn has too many guys that like to play off the bounce and need shots. The Jazz’s ceiling would be so much higher with one of LaVert or Dinwiddie.

You right, look out next year w/ KI and KD. Lotsa payroll. LeVert and Dinwiddie just got extensions, not sure how with Irving and Durant though.

23/24
Their payroll looks well-managed. I just wonder how everyone gets fed.

This is why we should have lost this game to get pick 20.

I bet a future star falls and gets picked at 21 right before we pick at 23.

All because we won this meaningless game.

I’m not sure the difference between 21 and 23. Don’t be an idiot!!

I see a bright future for Brantley. He sees the floor sooooooo well. Natural playmaker and let’s the game come to him. He needs to improve his shot and rebounding. He had 6-7 assists tonight, very impressive.

Yeah just looked that up. They better find a vaccine by next season so that team can fill some seats.

And how should they have lost? Quin directing one of them to throw it out of bounce?
