What's new

14th Tank Platoon

Green with the air ball 3. Way to go Boston. F*** you.

They are 1-13 in the last 14 games, really outanking us

As Simmons noted a few days ago: "...Sacramento and Boston have done the best jobs of anyone at playing hard for 45 minutes and then blowing games late. They’ve really made it an art form...".
 
What's even funnier is Ainge coming out every other day saying how weak the draft is. This guy is a snake and would never deal with him. Even if he puts Rondo on the block, I would assume he has some hidden, but serious, injury.
 
Don't stress too much. The Jazz are going to lose all but one more game from here on out. Don't think they'll end up in the top 3, so I have a feeling that they end up with one of Exum, Randle, Gordon, Vonleh or Smart. Still think that's a pretty good consolation prize.

Also, NBA teams have a habit of reaching to fill needs (either that, or they're just terrible at drafting) and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see a guy like Parker fall a bit if the lottery lands just right.
 
Part of being high as possible isn't just about getting more number combinations but also insurance if someone leaps over you. Take 2005 for instance where we were the 4th seed. Both Portland at #5 and Milwaukee at #6 leapfrogged us as we fell all the way to #6. We had to trade back up to get DWill. I don't want another scenario this year with GS's pick as we can draft a good rotational player with that mid 20's pick.
 
wow orlando won...

that trey burke 3 hurts so much worse right now.
Can you imagine...if Orlando finishes the season with the 3rd Worst record, nabs the #1 overall pick in the lottery, drafts Wiggins, then he becomes the next Jordan and wins 6 NBA titles. Trey Burke will become the most hated man in Jazz history.
 
No worries this draft is going to work out for the Jazz. Jabari was quoted in general conference. I have faith.
 
The orlando win, the Nola win, and Boston losing their last two have got to be things the ping pong balls correct in May because if we end up beating LAL we will likely end up 6th and just out of the area we need to end up in to get a player that makes a difference.

Ask Michael Jordan what it is like to end up just out of the range for the great player. He ended up number 2 when Anthony Davis was the only transcendent player. I would hate to be selecting from Vonleigh, Smart and others when Embiied, Parker and Wiggins are player for LAL and Boston for years to come. Its time the commissioner rigs the draft for a small market team like the Jazz.
