If there ever was a must lose game......

 

[FalseFlagg K]

vital must lose game. Think of Cooper. What would Cooper do

 

[gomretat]

Win it and bring Zion back to SLC with the team.

I legit wonder if the NBA will fine the NBA. Resting Kessler twice in the last couple weeks is crazy work lmao.

Look, I’m happy we are benching Kessler for this game….but it just shows how pathetic the NBA is. A 23 year old having a great season resting twice in one week. The NBA has to address this.

I don't think the NBA gives a **** about Kessler since he's not exactly a win generator. Ainge is probably counting on it.

Need to get rid of the lottery as it is. It's so pathetic what it makes these teams to do, a total disgrace for the spirit of competition.

Its not even last couple weeks. He played at 11th of January, rested against the Nets on B2B at 12th, and played at 15th. Thats 1 game since 11th that he played which was two days ago.

Also lmao @ Micah Potter joining the street clothes gang. I foresee Collin Sexton getting DNP - Illness as well for a tummy ache on game day.

Did Collins visibly injure his hip on court? I can't remember any kind of play that looked like he would be out this long. Even with Clarkson we were given a rough timetable on revaluation. There's never been a timetable for Collins.

I think they were pushing the limits with Sexton making him rest a single game

Not necessary since he helps the Jazz lose
