I know that but we want to clinch a top 2 pick have a chance at number 1 pick

All lottery teams have a chance at the #1 pick.

Cooper Flagg having another great game currently.
Destroying North Carolina in an early blowout.
3-4 from the field, 2-2 from 3, 3-5 from the line for 11 points with 3 boards, 5 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and zero turnovers.
Its still the first half.

I think you know what he meant

Sexton with another high scoring very efficient game. Happens literally every game now. 22 points on 13 shots tonight. 7 assists aint bad either.

 

[slc]

He knows the Jazz are intentionally losing games, and it's not helping his attitude overall.

All players should be trying to win all games

 

[SD Jazz]

Lauri has got a very bad game, terrible outing for him. Is he still sick/injured or something.

Doesn't matter as long as you are bottom 4

Not happy about that dejonte murray injury. Pelicans gonna be coming for us hard. Charlotte too after the miller injury. Jazz meanwhile.... extremely healthy at the moment.

This win gets the jazz to 11 wins. Pelicans are at 12. Hornets are at 12.

I wonder if JC got traded during the game. Was having a great game and didn't come back in

I thought bottom 3 had same odds. Does the 4 spot have the same odds as the bottom 3?

Looks like bottom 3 all have 14% chance at #1 pick. 4th spot has a 12.5% percent chance.
Gotta finish bottom 3.
Worst team gets a much better chance at top 5 (100%) than everyone else but we aint out tanking washington.

On the offense no-one gave him even a look. Might've been that Hardy was running everything for Collins for, ya'know, reasons.

However on D this was Lauri's best game of the season, easily. He was the one that completely shut out and destroyed Banchero in the 1st half. Got all the D rebounds he had to, three blocks and just fantastic effort and physicality.
