Minnesota is now tied for #15 with the Lakers and Hawks. After tonight they could be in a 4-way tie for #14 if the Pelicans win.

If they lose to Golden State tomorrow and OKC beats Portland along with Toronto beating Washington they will be in a 3-way tie for #12.

I’d take 9th and 12th at this stage. That would be awesome given what’s happened.

LOL .. and you can’t see that we already have something? What more do you need to see?

What are you talking about?

If we won the rest of our games, that would mean our current roster is even better than what any of us think it is right now.

OK, can we agree this group isn't going to win the NBA Finals this year?

Therefore we're really looking at having a go again next year or maybe the year after? In view of that, isn't better to lose out the rest of the way and get a 9th pick instead of a 15th pick?

I mean the rest of the board can see this, why can't you?

Man, you must be furious that we've won 35 games instead of 17, since the 1st pick is better than a pick in the 9th-15th range.

Or, you're thrilled that we've already got a young core good enough to win 35+ games.

Just take that same logic and apply it to being thrilled that we're already good enough to win 44 games. You can do this.

Put another way - I'd rather have a current roster good enough to win 44 games and the 15th pick than a team good enough to win 35 games and the 9th pick. The gap between the 9th pick and the 15th pick is pretty damn unlikely to make up the difference.

I feel pretty confident even without JC Sexton or the Finnisher, we will still be in the play in with just 2 more wins, and the Finnisher for sure will all return for the play in and win the game or games necessary to make the 8th seed.
Wolves are in the play in like 90% likely now imo, hopefully they can be the team we oust.

It would definitely take more than 2 more wins to make the play-in, probably more like 4 or 5.

Minnesota’s going to fall into the lottery and be the pick that is going to jump up to #1.

Can you imagine how crippling it would be for their fans to have the Gobert trade cost them Kessler AND Wemby?

The thread by @JazzAvenues would be the most epic thing to ever grace JazzFanz.

Jazz get #1 and #10. Draft Wemby and then trade up for Cam Whitmore. The basketball gods probably owe us for something.

What if the team has the talent to win 44 games this year, but we sit them out so we get a better pick - and we go for 55 wins next season?

Think about it.

It's Tank Lite.

That's what Ainge is doing.

Get with the program.

^The strawman that One Love killed.

I never said I had a problem with the Jazz sitting guys. I called you out for crying over our home crowd cheering for the players actually playing. From that you have somehow extrapolated several arguments I've never made.

Next time you reply to me, make sure you're actually addressing an argument I'm making.

How do know whether they're cheering for the WIN or cheering for the players playing?

Have you asked every single person there? Or are you just assuming yet again?
