Why would you pay money to go watch the Jazz lose? Not everyone is terminally online basketball junkies.

They are basketball fans are they not?
Surely they’ve heard of the concept of the NBA draft.

I mean, if I went to a Jazz game this season I’d be rooting for them in the arena even though I’d rather them not win very many this season.

But every game we win gets us further away from Flagg - are you alright with that?
Just seems irrational to me.

I look at it differently. The fact is the Jazz are going to win games here and there this season. Given that, I’d rather they win the game I attend.
It seems much more irrational to me to spend the time (and money) hoping to watch my favorite team catch a loss. I can do that from home.
Nah, they're getting closer to Flagg because 4th in lotto odds is going to end up with the #1 pick.

I thought he was announced out for the season a while ago.
How the **** are we supposed to out tank the Pelicans.
I guess we’re hoping that Charlotte playing in the Leastern Conference is going to save us.
The good news is that the teams around the Hawks in the standings are crumpling.
The bad news is that the Spurs seem to be losing more than they were earlier and their timing is perfect for them.
I swear to ****ing god if they hit in the lottery I’m done and I will be grateful.

It’s ALWAYS the right thing to beat the Lakers.
You just have to play Cody. He kind of ruins everything you want to do offensively.
Looks like we are in a 3 team race with NOP and CHO for 2-4. NOP is absolutely pathetic, can't count on them to do anything....though their fans would probably be the same for us. CHO does play in the East, but I expect that they put Lamelo on ice for the rest of the year.

There is not a win threshold we can get to that guarantees us Cooper Flagg. You need to prepare yourself that there is an 85% chance we do not get him no matter how much we suck.

The thing that gives me hope with NOP is Zion. Last night he was 13-18 for 33 points in 28 minutes. (9 rebounds, 7 assists and a plus 13 to boot). They almost beat a team trying for the playoffs (not really at impressive but still.) Plus they have CJ Mccollum and Trey murphy is having a great year. The hope is minor but its better than nothing. I have no hope of out tanking the hornets or wizards.
If they play zion enough games and he stays healthy (both big ifs) then they might accidentally win some games. They are like that the jazz in that way. They have some players that are too good for the tanking that needs to happen. Charlotte and washington dont have that problem lol.
Will be interesting.
