Last year felt icky, but not sitting Lauri on the second game of a road back to back after a grueling OT game is crazy. Especially when we're playing a big conference tank rival.
This. Great post
 
Bro we got people out here saying Trae may not even play a game for the Wiz and we gotta sneak around? Nah.

MP jr. sits the back end of every B2B. Sit them and welcome an investigation.
If the investigation results in another fine? Oh noes. Look at the damage from the last fine
 
I can't believe I'm saying this, but a *#&% must-lose game. Indications are that Dallas is preparing to jettison Davis and go full tank for the rest of the season. We cannot allow them to hit the ground running. Keep it close, keep it entertaining, and then lose on a last-second three-pointer to seal the loss. Bada bing, bada bang. (I know I've said this a million times, but rooting for your team to lose sucks. It's a gross perversion of the natural order of things.)

I wonder if they have been threatened with other things that give them pause... or if they are just chicken ****.
 
Gotta have enough wins that ruin the tank. These are mutually exclusive; you pick one or the other.
Truly been an issue the whole tank... wanting to have our cake and still be skinny... ain't no Ozempic for tanking. Gotta do it the old fashioned way.
 
One of the most fundamental signs of cognitive maturation is whether a person can recognize and embrace delayed gratification.

All of us fans want more wins, but at different junctures we have disagreements as to what that means.

Right now the organization is choosing the one marshmallow in front of them to sacrifice 10 marshmallows later. Like a ****ing toddler.

Unless you are Dallas or the Spurs. Then there is ozempic by way of luck.

But ya, for the jazz ozempic doesn't exist

The thing with Ozempic is that it is less allowing you to eat whatever you want, and more that it changes what it is you want to eat.

In other words, the Jazz taking Ozempic would make them want to lose games and feel great about it.

But what if one of the guys has a 5% shot at making the AS team?????? That's like 2-3 marshmallows at least.
