23 or 24 depending on Miami

Five spots in the draft is no laughing matter. Especially in this draft where it’s a complete mindfark.

And DEN in round one. We somehow win and wouldn’t see LAL in round two.

I agree, and even though many have tabbed the Clips to go all the way, we just match up so much better with them - and may have the psychological advantage as well since we beat em last time we faced them first round.

So with 2 games remaining, are we pretty much locked into 6th or so we still need to be creative?

We need to rest starters, play the young guys and hope OKC win one more game.

We're slipping by Miami, OKC, Houston, and hopefully Indiana and Philadelphia.

Losing gracefully is probably the best strategic move here.

This.

Ain’t mad at all.

This could be big for the future. We need to hit on this pick because we don't have one in the following draft.

I am mad that Conley is dying on every ****ing screen, though. He can’t do that and finish games.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Royce should've dribbled into a heave at the end there, but oh well. Hope Donovan got in a rhythm using the end of that one.

He rebounded with 4 seconds left. That's enough time to dribble into an actual 3pt **** or throw up a wild runner from 2.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

When the Jazz played a lineup with Bradley, Niang, Conley and Clarkson in the late 3rd quarter and early 4th quarter, our defense and rebounding went to ****. That's when Denver went +10 on us and got within 2 pts.
