Game Thread Mar 20, 2023 07:00PM MT: Jazz vs. Kings

Added to Calendar: 03-20-23

Yep somebody has to put some pressure on Minnesota. I mean if we keep losing and Lakers and Pels keep losing they're in. But if we keep playing well, it forces everybody on the bubble to have to play well to get in. And Minny's remaining schedule and injury situation is about as bad as it gets. Anyway, the play-in is not the playoffs as far as the lottery is concerned. We can make the play-in and still miss the playoffs, preserving out miniscule chance at the lottery.
Look. We are going to play minnesota in the play in tournament and knock them out of the playoffs. It is destined.
 
Also, Agbaji might have more to his game than I've given him credit for.
I have thought this since day one. He has just been brought along very slowly.
I mean dude has an nba body, played 4 years at kansas and won a national championship. If ever there was a rookie ready to contribute from day one its Ochai.
 
Dok and Dunn in double figures and Agbaji netted almost 30. No Clarkson, sexton, or Lauri, no problem.

just as we all predicted at the start of the year…
Runner up post of the thread.
What a season
 
TU should be here in a moment to tell you why it is a bad thing a </roll d100> 73 years old Dunn does that.
Drunkest post of the thread.
 
I know one particular poster who will flame me for this post but.......

If I were GM of the jazz and minnesota called up and asked if I would take Gobert for Kessler I would lmao.
If they magically made his salary the same as kessler salary I still say no.
If they magically made his salary the same as kessler and his age the same as kessler I still say no.

Kessler is averaging more blocks per 36 this season than gobert averaged per 36 in any season of his career (his most was also his rookie year)
Kessler is also averaging less turnovers per 36 this season than gobert averaged per 36 in any season of his career.
Kessler has a higher field goal percentage this season than gobert in any season of his career.

Fouls, rebounds, assists, steals, etc are all pretty close across the board.

I know Rudy Goberts ceiling. And it was pretty fantastic. Going to be fun to see what kesslers ceiling looks like

Yeah, I will flame. Gobert is still better.

Wow! We sure have a dysfunctional relationship with those guys. One minute we’re stealing them blind on the Gobert deal, the next minute we’re gifting them a legendary point guard, a nice scoring combo guard and three seconds. Yep, you right, time to show em who’s boss again!
