Yep. Vucevic has missed those games with a (likely) bogus injury. Big baby Davis has been manning the center spot and they have given up 100+ points ever since. Another words....that's how you tank.
 
Utah going into the lottery with this group of talent and the 3rd or 4th most balls in the draft is a hell of a feat. Still gives Utah a damn good chance at Wiggins and/or Parker. Especially with Embiid, Randle and Exum looking really strong.
 
Lakers won. Bucks got torched.

Kings are down and Boston and Orlando are tied.

I'm hoping Boston wins.

edit: Orlando won.
 
Update!

He fell hard on his head. See yourself:

Fast forward to 1:20. Maybe his team tells him to take it slow. But these kind of falls tend to cause severe injuries.
 
Apparently MCW is slumping. He shot 6/29 from the field, and had 10 turnovers in his last two games. Anyone seen the rookie rankings lately?

I'm just hoping to end up around 6, and that no team after 6 jumps us for the lottery. We would still have a decent (21 %) chance of being top 3 and 65 % chance of not dropping below 6. Milwaukee, Orlando and Philly will be in the bottom 5 for sure. Then you have Sac, LAL, Boston, NO, Cleveland as the other possibilities to get to the top 5. I think the Jazz will end up somewhere in the middle of that group. Luckily all those teams have a decent chance of making a run at some point.

That was my thought coming in to the season; I figured 6-8 was "best case." Fortunately, Burke got hurt and the Jazz got off to a slow start. And a few teams actually were hot (e.g. Philadelphia and Boston). Remember when everyone thought the Jazz would be fighting to stay ahead (behind) Phoenix for the worst record in the WC?

Some teams are starting to slide back while the Jazz are playing .500 ball. Even in the 8-10 range the Jazz will pick up a very good player. And if the pick is that low, I think Lindsey will go the free agent or trade route to bring in another starter. Get a veteran on a 2-3 year deal while the draft picks are counted on to just fill back-up roles. And if they develop into more? Fantastic! Then the Jazz have more assets to trade.
