Bailed us out?! We lost u horny tank-doll! We need to win. This is a sports team!
We WILL make it as the great third eye will e mv witness! We take down Suns in five. JUST WATCH!
I ain’t even mad… I like this for you… stay on this corner and go hard. Me and the other horny tank dolls will celebrate THT and his contributions to the long term health of the franchise.
 
Eh, I think he just didn't know the rule. It definitely looked like he threw it off the glass intentionally.
He just had to shoot his normal shot… like try to make it and it’s likely gonna brick.

I am anti-tank for sure but this was just a social experimentation. I will not be a douche here. I just was CURIOUS to see reactions. I will go back to semi-normal mode again. It means rooting for wins but not being a douche.
 
Since after the 97-98 season I’ve been waiting 26 years to get back to championship contention I think we’ve only missed the playoffs 3 times in all that time. I’m sick to death of being just good enough to be relevant but not good enough to go far. At this point I’d sell my soul, my wife or my nephew @Domino to even just feel like we have a shot at a title. What do you even think we can do if we make the playoffs, it’d be a first round exit unless the other team is hit hard with injury or something. 26 ****ing years that’s just over half my life. So yes!! I’m broke and don’t care. All my competitive fire is in the off-season in building not a good team but a championship level team, and we won’t get there if we don’t add an elite talent in the draft along with trading for an allstar in the next year or two. We can’t accomplish that by making the playoffs. I want the jazz to win as much or more than anyone, and we do that by losing. Maybe you are broken since you’re happy being just decent. Where’s your competitive fire?? Where’s you’re drive for this team being great I’m tired of just being good. The jazz have used the same philosophy in teambuilding for the last 26 years and I’ve had the same crappy *** results all those years, maybe just maybe it’s time to try something different for a change instead of doing the same damn thing every ****ing year.

This is the first time in many years that I’ve actually had. Hope it’s been 26 years of despair because I knew we couldn’t do anything to get better now we do and can.

So in retrospect, I’m not broken, I’m fighting for my team the best I know how. Try being a fan of this team for 26 years of a team doing the same thing over and over with always the same results, and if you’re ok with that then you my friend are broken.
Could not have said it better. Cheers!
 
I feel GREAT not having watched this sorry excuse for a basketball game. Looks like we handed the reins to Tanker Horton-Tucker again and he came through.

Yes for those like me who didn't not enjoy much tanking even if i think it's the best option we have, it's much better skip the end of the season. I just look at box score while working and it's enough for me .

It wasnt a bad game or effort from us. Also THT wasnt as trashy as some comments seem to indicate. He had one badly missed 3PT and 1 missed FT at key moments.

Honestly it was more about Kyrie going ballistic on us (had key and 1 play along with huge rebound + early clock 3 combo).... that and Ochai missing open shots down the stretch. Good for him having the guts to take those shots but he rimmed three 3 pointers and a layup in the final 7 or so possessions and we just didn't get second chances.

I watch Lauri's highlights and that's about it.
 
This was a really fantastic game. The Mavericks aren't a great team, but that Jazz group that was thrown out there really played as well as you could ask from them. Mavs really didn't have an answer for Lauri, he was amazing. THT never disappoints. He was incredibly entertaining. Then one of the Holiday brothers blocks a Lauri 3 and then makes a 3 on the other end to seal the win, just wow.

The Dunn sequence where he misses a layup badly, runs back on defense and just takes the ball away from Luka, and then misses another layup on the break feel like a very representative sequence of the Kris Dunn experience. We should lock him up, but I still think he's more of a defensive specialist vs rotational piece. If he keeps making open above the break 3s, then I'm probably wrong.

I didn't realize that Damian Jones could shoot 3s, so that was surprising. JTA made a couple good plays, but has mostly looked G-League quality so far. I thought I might like him, but I think he's just not very good. Juzang has made some 3's, but looked pretty bad besides that in my opinion. Fontecchio actually played some decent defense on Luka, but still makes too many mistakes and isn't consistent enough with his shot to be an NBA player right now. It feels like we are asking a little too much from Agbaji. He's looked ok on some drives, but I don't think he's a guy that you can count on to really create his own shot.
 
THT is a wild wild ride lol.
And no, its not hard to hit the front of the rim intentionally.
