Jaren is also less injury prone than I thought. The previous 4 seasons he average 70 games a year, and he's played 22 of 24 this year.

Out of all the realistic "big game hunting" guys we could target, I think he's the best.

This game is a true coin flip. We gotta lose a bunch of these if the tank is to survive. I have a bad feeling on this one.

Memphis is a 7.5 point favorite....

I'm aware. I stated that lol. I said its a bet I'd take.

I don't think he's available though... I think they'd want Bane+ pricing. Memphis is in a kind of weird place until Ja either returns to form, is shipped out, or maybe he just sucks.

Big game hunting? Jaren Jackson Jr? Are we talking about the same player here?

A much worse version of Lauri Markkanen who's also just as expensive and plays (more or less) the same position?

I forget which podcast, but they were mentioning how Lauri would have to a huge package but JJJ would not. Who knows how real that is. I don't know what MEM's plan is right now.

I think both of their packages would be huge

Are you unaware of how bad Utah is on the road? If it was a home game your statement would have validity. It's not

Jazz are a 7.5 pt underdog

Memphis is a 7.5 point favorite....

So which is it? Are we a 7.5 point underdog or is Memphis a 7.5 favorite?

I am. No Cody/Taylor and no Edey. Grizz have beaten bad teams at home but a lot of that was with Edey present.

However you want to phrase it. Utah is probably going to lose.

We got some very deluded fans who somehow thinks Utah has this good team that can't possibly lose if we don't sit everyone.

Memphis wins cuz of their rotations. They are the team in the NBA most equipped to handle injuries (outside of OKC just being incredible whoever they play).
