My first game thread of the year will obviously be the last. The stakes are high:

Jazz lose OR Jazz win combined with Phoenix win:
  • Sole ownership of the 12th worst record
  • 7 ping pong ball combinations in the draft lottery
  • Assuming Utah, Phoenix and Houston don't get lucky in the lottery, the #12 pick in the draft
Jazz win combined with Phoenix loss:
  • Shared ownership of the 12th/13th worst record
  • A coin flip determines whether they get 6 or 7 ping pong ball combinations
  • Assuming Utah, Phoenix and Houston don't get lucky in the lottery, coin flip also determines who gets the #12 and #13.
Starting lineups, rotations, score projections? At this point, who cares?
 
Spurs play at Phoenix. I was hoping Spurs would be resting players, but I don't think so. If they lose and Bulls win, Chicago will have the tie breaker for HC. The NBA needs to change the way they determine tie breakers. Division record should be the last thing they look at.

To hell with the pick. Utah needs to go out on a high note. Go Jazz!

It's our home playoff game!

Let's go out strong.

Favors 20 pts, 4 blocks, 10 boards.
Hayward 25 pts, 5 dimes, 5 boards.

Miles 5-15 with 2 3's.
 
BTW, I'm not saying the Jazz SHOULD lose...just focusing on the only part of the game that has any meaning (and not even much then). 6 or 7 combinations? No big deal. #12 or #13? Could matter if Jazz & Phx both want the same guy, but I still hope they win the game.
 
Anyone going to this game?

I predict a Jazz win. 112-102.

Favors 16p, 11r, 3b
Hayward 14p, 6r, 4a, 2s
CJ 16p (5/16 shooting, 1r, 1a
 
Did anyone listening to 1320 after the game last night hear what they were talking about some Denver journalist? They said to boo him if you see him, but I didn't catch why.

Anyway, I would feel pretty good about the Jazz ending the season on a two game win streak, beating Denver, and leaving us, possibly for a very long time, with a good taste in our mouths. Go Jazz! Win the game and then let's put on The Thong Song and tear this place apart.

Look at this more activity then the last 2 game threads.

I'm going to the game and since my 6yr old boy heard the term "You Just Got Milslapped" he wants to bring a sign saying that.

If we win, will we have finished the season against 5 straight playoff teams with a 3-2 record? Not to shabby for such a young team.
 
Did anyone else see the highlights from yesterday Denver's game against GSW where Koufus hit one of his teammates in the nose after giving him a high five. Something we may look forward to tonight.
 
CJ is out tonite. Jazz dress only 8 ......


Starting Lineup: Harris, Hayward, Millsap, Favors, Jefferson.


Hopefully this is a preview of who we start next year (Though I would like to sub Harris for a better PG)
 
I've been curious to see this lineup.
Let's hear lots of : "Millsap for THREE!" and "Hayward to Favors, count it AND ONE!" and "Jefferson with the rebound, outlets to Harris, Evans WITH THE DUNK" , "Miles bringing some energy"

stuff like that.
yay team.
 
For the sake of all of the fans, please Jazz, don't mail it in. Give us a good game - it'll feel like a long time before we can start over with a new season. It'd be nice to go out on a good note.
