Game thread..Pelicans @jazz.... tank tested

[Thee Jazz Fan]

I like this guilty pleasure of feeling like we're going to win!

I'm loving it. Forgot what it feels like

What, by watching Marvin Williams and Richard Jefferson win it for us?

This will only help the c4 play better and improve

Hayward: 27 pts, 10 assists
Kanter: 21 pts, 10 reb
Favors: 12 pts, 12 reb, 5 steals

They weren't the only ones playing. The only way the Jazz win is if the other players around them actually play well.

Yah. He didn't see what Hayward Kanter or Favors play?

Hey, after seeing some of that college stuff last night at Chicago, I became much more open to severe tanking. I actually think Parker with Hayward, would be incredible. Throw in Burke, Favors, and Kanter with Gobert and whoever off the bench, and now we're talking, so theoretically I'm on board; I just can't root for them to lose while I'm watching.

I can, and do. We can't underestimate how good this draft class is, or how much competition there's going to be for the worst record. I can handle a season of losing, no problem. What I can't handle is a wasted opportunity at a star (and thus, championships) because of getting cold feet with this tank. It. Is. Worth. It.

I'm hoping this W doesn't come back to haunt us, and I won't bitch about it too much, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't change the outcome of this game if it was within my power.

Celebrate now, if you want, but then let's go out and take the next step toward getting a star by losing to the Spurs Friday night.

Is spycam the real Dennis Lindsey? ^^^^


1 out of 9 is tough. That would translate to 9 wins. Ouch.

I'm confident Burke will have an impact. Hell, look at what a random D-League dude did for this team tonight. The key ingredient to our tank thus far has been a complete lack of talent at the deepest position in the NBA. Now, while Trey is out, is our window of opportunity to pile up the losses.

OMG!! 9-73!!! The tank is in danger!!! Quick someone take Hayward out! We cannot afford to win a single game. Ever!


Ugh...

Corbin made all the right moves in the 2nd half. Great job (no sarcasm). Great to pick up a win

 

[SBM]

We have no control over whether the Jazz win or not. I say we treat every game like a win/win - when we lose, celebrate the tank, and when we win... celebrate the win.

I agree. Playing Garrett over Lucas was huge. He also went with the hot hands in Hayward, Williams and Jefferson. Hopefully this makes the youth hungry now that they have had a taste.

I hope all of you are still happy about Richard Jefferson leading us to victory if it ends up costing us a higher draft pick.

What's up with the negativity? The young guys played hard and deserved to win. I just don't see how losing 70 games will make them better. Just let the young fellas win some games, especially when playing like this....we will get a top 3 pick anyway.

As I see it, Hayward, Kanter, Favors and even Garret had a great game with key contributions from RJ and Marvin. It takes some team effort to get a win, even against a fatigued team like NO

LOL, ha ha!! God, you're a sick man. You've got the resolve of a mother spider being eaten by her offspring.

Nah, I wouldn't have gotten cold feet with the tank and done something like sign someone who can actually play the PG position.

 

[latin jazz]

These guys are not ****ing robots. They have to have a win occasionally before they slit their wrists. Don't worry, it was against the Pelicans on the back end of a back-to-back. We will lose plenty of the next ten, don't worry.

100% agree with you
