We had no chance to lose tonight. Way too much of a hill to climb. @SoberasHotRod is the worst.

This notion that we're just going to sit everyone for the last third of the season is fantasy. Tony can assert we're keeping the pick, but the only way that happens is if the Jazz succeed in being competitively bad with far worse teams.

We can likely hold out JJJ until post AS break with some transaction ******** type stuff. Key can sit with some ankle stuff. I think they can rotate guys and JJJ does get injured here and there. We also may carve out some of the other vets. I think this is an issue though. Getting to 4 or 5 seems pretty tough. I don't think we fall... but we love playing with fire lol.

Sorry, Hardy even sat Lauri to end the game. The whole team was completely gassed to end the game as well. The Pacers were just that bad.

collier's 22 assists were nice, but he's an elite passer/playmaker so not surprising having played 48 minutes. best stat of the night is Ace's 6 stocks.

Comments from watching in person:

Brice is an even worse defender in person, Flip was getting cooked by scrubs, and Collier just really can't shoot.

On the positive side Ace got to the foul line. Also, I know there have been some comments of how bad Cody's shot looks even in practice, but he was shooting really well in warm ups today.

Keyonte looked like he wanted to get out there, but he also looked like he wasn't feeling great. Nurk might have been legitimately ill as well. Kessler was in good spirits though.

Ace had a lot of really good moments and really rookie moments on defense. I'm hopeful.

Has any NBA team ever had every player enter a game get double figures before? Maybe another shorthanded team? Gemini only found tonights game.

You could raise that to 15 if Cody had one more point.

Last observation from the game, but Hardy was not taking it very seriously. There were a few times the replay guy would motion to Hardy to challenge and Hardy would just shake his head. I also don't remember him taking a timeout even though our guys are dying.

Collier with 22 ast, sheesh...

Here is a crazy stat
Stockton had over 20 assists 35 times

Jazz needed a hot shooting night to beat a team playing G Leaguers.

I'm not worried about the tank
