Another game, another thread, another chance to feel personally defeated by watching the Utah Jazz even if you don't have any emotional attachment to the team.

It's been difficult to identify positive things on the court to look for over the course of the season - specifically the last two months, but there are still a few things I will enjoy watching happen on the court before this hell draws to a complete close.

- Corbin HAS to know his days are numbered, so I'm hoping to see him just lose it on a ref and get tossed, and throw a chair onto the court on his way out. He can join coaching legend Bobby Knight, and a handful of idiot parent-coaches from middle-school-aged community rec leagues across the country, in a group with such a unique accomplishment.

- I want to see Hayward actively talk that **** to his defenders an entire game while torching them offensively.

- I want to see Biedrins get called to check into the game, then realize he forgot to wear his jersey when he takes his warmup jacket off.

- It would be fun to see Gobert shoot a three.

- Boler, Harp or Boone is bound to slip up at some point with a, "you've gotta be ****in' kidding me?" after the Jazz call a timeout on the heels of being on the bad end of a 17-2 run which subsequently balloons their deficit to 26 when they think the telecast has already gone to commercial.

- I want to see Brandon Rush check himself into the game without Corbin's permission.

Jazz feed will be blacked out in the NY/NJ area so I will get to listen to the Knicks feed and with it the inevitable confused/awkward silence which can always be heard from the opposing team's TV announcers after one of Corbin's **** baffling moves.
 
Finally have cable back tonight after my move. Going to sit my happy butt down and watch the game then the Walking Dead finale.

GO KNICKS!!! Hope Carmelo and JR stink, the Jazz play great and the Knicks get the win.
 
Carmelo hurt his hand yesterday, so hopefully he still plays. They are in the playoff hunt and can't lose this game.
 
Highland Homie you can neg me all you want but the answer is NO.

GO KNICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I find this amusing.

Actively rooting against the Jazz just isn't in my DNA. I totally get going all in with the tank and being complicit, but c'mon... Jazz weren't making the playoffs anyways. What I can't get is truly rooting against them for the hope of potentially winning the lottery or getting a high draft pick to draft someone who may or may not end up turning into a game-changer for a championship contender. AKA those MFs only come around once every half decade. I get the argument Jabari/Wiggins/Embiid could potentially be that but still MAJOR work to be done for all three.

Exactly, so why not root for a better draf tpick? So while you root for the now I root for the future.

X-rays were negative so hopefully that means he can suit up tonight and he torches RJ. Nine days until the Ty's announcement...I can't wait.

What announcement? He doesn't have a contract for next year. So we likely we won't hear a thing until well after the last game. If Lindsey has already decided to let Corbin go, he may very well do it on Ty's terms - i.e. he would wait until Corbin finds a position with another team, then thank Ty for all he's done and wish him well. As much as I want a coaching change, I think that's the classiest way to do it.

That would be a classy way to do it. However if a great opportunity to grab a coach comes along you grab it without waiting.
 
Jazz are tied with Boston for the 4th worse record. Dang Boston keeps losing games down the stretch. They still have two games against philly though. Jazz are dead last in the West with a two game lead. GS is playing in Dallas tomorrow so I am a Dallas fan on Tuesday. I want Utah to lose a few more so when they play GS I can cheer like it is the NBA finals. There still is a decent shot that GS doesn't make playoffs. Both Bogut and David Lee missed the game and it looks like both will be out a few more games.

The Jazz may legitimately have a shot at two lottery picks and with a little luck..Do you believe in miracles?

I want the Jazz to lose out right. Not a single win more. Here is why.

Orlando is only 2 games ahead of Utah. 2 That's it. They still play:

v. Cavs
@ Bobcats
v. Wolves
v. Nets
v. Wizards
@ Nets
@ Bulls
v. Pacers

There is a chance that Orlando wins two of those. If so that is a coin flip for the third pick and increases our ping pong balls. Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Hell yes. I'd say maybe as high as 25% and that is better than the 4th places odds of winning the lottery...
 
Wiggins!!!!

Someone should break into the Jazz locker room and put a cutout of our boy in there.

Jazz bear should wear a wiggins mask too.
 
This is the second to last winnable game remaining on our schedule. We drop this , then we ain't winning until we play the Lakers. :0

I'm afraid of what Alex Burke is going to do. We really missed his offense.

It wouldn't be a coin flip. We would split all the combinations for 3rd and 4th equally.

A coin flip would only come into play if neither team won one of the first 3 picks.
