Just here to see if it's a one page game thread. Kudos to you soldiers who march behind the tank.

Watching that was true Tiananmen square level dedication to closely observing some tank action

29 turnovers, LMAO

I remember reading that a turnover costs a team 1,75 points in that you lose the opportunity to score and give the other team an opportunity to score. So if we have zero turnovers we win bigly.

Fun fact: Collin Sexton was picked three spots ahead of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the 2018 draft.

The only 8th overall picks from the last two decades that were better picks than Sexton are Franz Wagner and probably KCP, it's not like Sexton has ended up being bad value.

Mid to late lottery is just pretty dicey, hate this season but at least we probably won't be picking 8-11 this year

Hopefully Jalen Williams is at least some sort of a preview of Cody's physique in 2-3 years

I think we don’t know who’s Cody’s dad actually is, it’s certainly not the same as Jalen’s.

I miss liking watching the Jazz. Now it's a chore.

Another fun fact was that Isiah Joe was selected long after Dok, Bolmaro and Elijan Hughes in that draft.

I liked Shai in that draft, but no one could have predicted he'd be All NBA. In college, his cousin Nickeil Alexander-Walker was considered a near-equal prospect. FWIW, I also liked Jerome Robinson in that draft...

Can't think of a worse matchup for the Jazz, lol. The Thunder are probably the best team in NBA history at generating steals and the Jazz are... not good at preventing those...

Any team that decides to apply ball pressure will whoop our ***.
