14th Tank Platoon

Had enough of AK's clanking it off the rim, tbh.


I'd rather have a 3 & D type guy any day of the week.

Jazz are 6th:

Just because the kid is Mormon doesn't mean he wants to live in Utah for the rest of his life. Besides the Jazz weren't even interested in Jimmer coming out and he was an icon in Utah. I know Parker is the better player but still the Jazz aren't going to make a decision this important because he is Mormon. I doubt Ford knows what the Jazz are thinking at this point. I am sure the Jazz are still evaluating guys.

I think he was referring to the fans not necessarily the Jazz Org.

Fun fact: Chad Ford is also mormon. People like to just add that on to the argument of Parker being mormon. I don't really think it matters that Parker is mormon. He's a freaking good player that will be a franchise player. I like him, I'd be super happy if any of the top 4ish players.

You've just made my night.



It's a FUN NITE-TA-NITEEEEEE

Link?

Jimmer was picked 10th iirc and the jazz had the 12th pick so its not like the jazz passed on him

Favors and Burke will be the determining factors in how many more games we win. They are both going to be in Utah for the foreseeable future. Nothing that happens for the rest of the season,short of an injury, will change their playing time next year. A top talent would likely be good for both of their careers.

Do you guys see them giving up on this season? What have they got to gain by winning?

If they're smart they'll play at 80% of their potential knowing that they'll get a better chance at Parker or Wiggins.

 

[The Midnight]

lol @ if you think players think like that

They dont give a **** about the lottery, draft or who may or possibly may not be their future teammates

Well they're stupid if they don't think like that. If I'm Burke, I would dream about throwing alley hoops to Wiggins.

Jimmer was picked 10th iirc and the jazz had the 12th pick so its not like the jazz passed on him

They could have moved up to get him or signed him when he was waived. Neither happened.

2/19 vs. Brooklyn Nets - L (Rested senior legs) - 5:3

2/20 - Trade Deadline - Hopefully DL flips Marvin and Jefferson for something.

2/21 @ Portland Trailblazers - L - 6:3
2/22 vs. Minnesota T-Wolves - L (Minny has 2 nights of rest) - 7:3
2/24 vs. Boston Celtics - W (Both teams have same amount of rest, but Cs on a road trip) - 8:3

2/28 @ Cleveland Cavs (start 6 game road trip) - L (Cleveland having same amount of rest, coming home from OKC and they'll find together for a final playoff push, but it's close) - 10:3
3/02 @ Indianapolis Pacers - L - 11:3
3/03 @ Milwaukee (back to back) - W(MIlwaukee also hosts the Nets 2 nights prior to the game, but it's close) - 11:4

3/24 vs. Detroit Pistons - L(Detroit on a road trip, with 1 night of rest, coming in from LAC. Very close, but I think Detroit's lack of range can't be abused by No-D Corbin)
3/26 vs. Memphis Grizzlies - L(Memphis has 1 night rest, 1st game on the road)
3/28 @ New Orleans Pelicans - L(Same amount of rest and road)
3/30 @ Oklahoma City Thunder - L
3/31 vs. New York Knicks (back to back) - L(NYK unfortunately on a back to back from Oakland as well, but it's very close due to home court)

4/12 @ Denver Nuggets (back to back) - L(Denver with 1 night of rest, but 3 games in 4 nights, but it's at their place. Close one....)
4/14 vs. Los Angeles Lakers - W(Back to back for the Lakers)
4/16 @ Minnesota T-Wolves - L(Minny with 3rd game in 4 nights, but they got home court. Unfortunately close. I hope they're in playoff pursuit)

Due to losses vs Dallas and ATL we're on pace to 24 wins by my prediction.
