The Jazz don't have enough of a roster at this point to beat the Wolves. They'd need Sexton, Lauri, Collins, Kessler, etc. Instead they've got Flip, Brice, Juzang, Springer, etc. So this is a non-story. This will be Springer and Svi's last chance of the season to play big minutes.

But this notion of a “jinx” presupposes mysterious, metaphysical causation initiated through utterances. We view jinx in terms of temporal priority, proximity, and constant conjunction, yet we never observe a necessary connection. No Sir, I cannot endorse the explanatory power of the concept “jinx.”

I do not know what you speak of, good sir. I was merely coughing.

Have the Jazz already announced this? I didn't think anyone besides Cody and Clarkson have been ruled out for the year.

Kessler has a nasal fracture and has been placed in concussion protocol. Collins was announced to be out for the rest of the season with something. Lauri has some back or ankle thing. Sexton might have had some "illness."

But now I'm looking at ESPN, and several of these guys are listed as GTD -- https://www.espn.com/nba/game/_/gameId/401705761/jazz-timberwolves

I'm wondering if the Jazz are messing around or if they're going to try to make a run at this. If the Jazz have Collier, Kessler and Collins, they might be able to compete.

My pet theory is that the league has told the Jazz they'll receive a top-4 pick, which is why the Jazz didn't tank the Portland game and why Ryan said on the broadcast last night that the "Jazz are due to move up in the draft."

But that's probably me over-reacting.
 
You know what I originally voted to lose because I want to keep our floor on our pick as high as possible. But I feel like there’s 4 guys in the draft and a minny pick would increase our odds of getting one of those guys by 3.6% and that’s enough for me.

Yeah let’s win it.

Besides winning, we should try to make Edwards pissed and get a tech before the play in ;)

Honestly, telling the young guys it's the last game of the year and to full court press all game would be fun. He'd probably cook them, but would increase the chance of pissing him off and getting a tech so he has to miss the playin game against Memphis

The point of this season is increasing odds at the top of the draft. Winning actually helps with that.
-If the Jazz win, that increases their chances at a lottery pick, however small.
-the Jazz will probably lose anyway
-the chances that the Jazz pick 6th if they win is relatively low

It increases a shot at that happening. A win against the Wolves doesn't guarantee they lose the play in games.

I'm on the side of winning, but losing is probably the best move statistically

Just thinking out loud here...

I think Minnesota would have like a 30% chance of losing to Memphis and maybe a 20% chance of losing to Dallas or Sacramento. That's like a 6% chance they get in the lottery vs 10% increase in odds at falling to 6.
