Agreed. Should be informative even if it isn't fun.I'm so excited for this week! Mavs, Suns and Blazers. I got bored of us beating up on ****** teams and can't wait to finally play some of the best teams in the west. I'll be happy if we can win 2 of these next 3.
I don’t know if it’s a must-win game, but I know in the private coach’s forum, Quin is saying that this is a must-not-get-triple-double-or-break-records game. But he says that every game so I dunno.I wish someone were here to tell us if this is a must-win game or not. As of right now, we have no idea! Could be a trap game.
You say that the Jazz have been beating up on ****** teams, but consider this...Memphis is 6-3 in their last nine games. All three losses were to the Jazz. So other than playing against the Jazz steamroller, the Grizzlies are a pretty good team lately. It just seems like the Jazz have been beating upon ****** teams because the Jazz are so damned good. Not all of the opponents have been ******, however.I'm so excited for this week! Mavs, Suns and Blazers.

Just a reminder that Rudy is averaging 24 and 16 against the Mavs this year. Also, it appears that Conley is OUT for tonight.
I can confirm this is a must win game. Plan will be to play the starters 38+ minutes if we are up 20+ and there are no potential records up for grabs and if Rick Carlisle doesn’t look too sad about how far down they are.I don’t know if it’s a must-win game, but I know in the private coach’s forum, Quin is saying that this is a must-not-get-triple-double-or-break-records game.

MSN has Conley listed as out, but it could just be holding over from the last game.Are you sure about Conley? None of the Jazz reporters have tweeted anything about him being out tonight.
I feel I have a good sense of when we’ll come out flat and suck. I’m not feeling it this game. If I’m wrong, my detector is terrible.If the Jazz are not playing at playoff intensity level over the next three games, they might as well fold it up and go home. These are going to be statement games, and will have consequences in terms of where all of these teams end up in the seedings. Every player needs to step it up and take these games seriously. They won’t get many more opportunities like this for the rest of the regular season.
They are humming, though. They were pretty bad to start, too many injuries and players missing due to Covid. They are also undefeated in the Nicolo Melli era.Didn’t Donovan miss both games before? We should run away with this one. I predict we’ll play so well that Quin is going to be pissed. Royce is probably going for a career high, if Quin doesn’t pull him before that.
That's alright. Being "almost undefeated in the Nicolo Melli era" is also a respectable feat.They are humming, though. They were pretty bad to start, too many injuries and players missing due to Covid. They are also undefeated in the Nicolo Melli era.
Dallas is playing much better now so I expect them to put up a decent effort. i think we win but those previous games were UGLY (well for Dallas).That's alright. Being "almost undefeated in the Nicolo Melli era" is also a respectable feat.
