Honestly though, Jazz probably easily win this game with Lauri and Sexton.

I don't know about easily but yeah they probably do pull it out.

 

[Korisfani]

Dear lord… you understand nothing. We are in the driver seat with a Lauri extension but you’re probably too dense to even know how.

No you're not. Lauri is.

OKC already got their mini star trio going on. SGA/Giddey/J Dub reminds me little bit of KD/Westbrook/Harden. They gonna be good for a very long time.

Hard game to watch but dammit, I made it through the whole thing.

 

[framer]

It also appears to me that Kris Dunn is what I thought best case was for NAW. Might as well sign him long term if you can get a big enough discount.

Dunn scored 17 tonight and in six games with us he hasn't scored less than 11 points and hasn't shot less than 50% from the field in any game.

They are going to be special if Chet comes even somewhat close to reaching his potential.

No it's not. There isn't a Silver edict. This is nothing but fans personal choices.

Never said it was a Silver edict. I said it was the mentality of teams and players.

 

[KqWIN]

I disagree. MJ era was all about winning, now it's much more about making as much money as possible.

MJ era players wanted to win every night. The regular season was a grind and it mattered to both the teams and players to win every night. Nowadays teams and players are optimizing for championships, and unfortunately that means they coast during the season.

 

[KqWIN]

Is it though? maybe on message boards and twitter, but that isn't real life.

It is with the teams and players. They are the one's making the decisions to coast and prioritize the playoffs. In real life....no I do not think fans like it except on message boards and twitter. They want to see players play hard every night and it does suck when they rest. It's a problem the league is facing IMO.

Jazz had three double doubles tonight and outscored them by 9 in the second half. Ochai and Juzang had some life so Victory!!!! Everyone gets a juice box.

And he is just finding his footing again. Need to sign him now for 2 seasons at least. If this staff somehow helps him fimprove his 3pt shot too that will be one of the best value deals in the NBA. Would still be great bc he will not demand high amount of cash as of now.
