Time to lose in style ! Go Jazz!!

Given OKC is poised to make a push for the play in, pretty hard, being so done with their tanking, we could easily lose these games against them if we are wanting to do so.
However, I think we are not going down that intentional loss road until we are out of play in contention while trying to win. If we can move up in the draft using all 3 picks, for a top 10 and made some noise winning play in tournament games and stunning a top seed taking them 6 games even if we go home. Given with the current roster that is mostly here to stay, that is a promising sign and one the front office can be sold on.
If we cannot get it done or have injuries prolonging the tell, we might be on that roller coaster of losing while still trying to win until the final buzzer. And still be sitting outside the top 10

I agree with you. this team never try to lose and will not today as well. They fight and give 100% every time they go out. Which make the season fun to watch. But i do think that we are just not good enough to end 8-10. As many teams improves with the trades and some will make a push. Let's see. But for me result does not matter, this has been a fun season to follow and if the last 20 are a bit harder to watch, i can deal with that. Go Jazz!

Kessler for 3! Love it.

 

[Hearsky]

Sad I missed the WK 3 live

It took 90 seconds for THT to make me cackle.

 

[Elizah Huge]

That designed play to start the game for Kessler to hit a 3 was beautiful. Looked great coming out of his hands. Super smooth.

 

[Jingled]

How is that not a foul?

THT with the steal and then hammer dunk. Great sequence from him.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

If only THT had any scoring touch lmao.

That first fade away was long and wide right…maybe he needs to get his eyes checked? It made me laugh… he’s an entertainer.
