Finally, a game girl for the feminist heart.

 

[MVP]

Another great thread. Needs a girl, but this should be a guaranteed win.

Weird facet of tonights's game: if GSW loses, they'd guarantee avoiding us or OKC in round one. Wonder if that will somehow figure into starter minutes for them?

I'd expect they play normal in the 1st half and go to the bench for the 2nd half.

great job as always infection...

think those Jazz undies would look better on an actual butt...

I almost guarantee that it will. They’ve proven to take the path of least resistance ever since they tanked to get Barnes. Between that and the Iggy controversy when he was in Denver, to getting KD after losing to the Cavs in the Championship. They don’t want to face two of the hottest teams in the league while they’re beat up and missing their star player. It’ll be interesting to see just how much of a fight they put up tonight.

At the same time, I believe the W's are trying to secure home court advantage over Toronto, the potential Eastern conference finalists.
Raptors are 59-22, Dubs are 58-23.
W's would still need the Raptors to lose on Wednesday to the Heat. Dubs win the tie-breaker for home court in that event.

It's always nice to close the season on a high note, too. Hopefully, they have to #takenote instead.

I would guess that everyone starts and it’s a dog fight going into halftime and then GSW stops caring and benches people in the third and fourth.

If I were them I’d want to actually win because they’ve been playing like **** and there is a decent chance they see us again in round 2, but hopefully that’s not the mindset they have.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Both good points. Actually hope they come out and try and it doesn’t do them a damn bit of good. Jazz physically manhandle them, shoot well and crush them on defense.

And that it leaves whoever has them in the first round thinking they’re vulnerable.

I really don't think that they give a **** about HCA against the Raptors.

 

[DasJazz]

Man, I am ready for this game. Really hoping the Jazz come out tonight and prove they are contenders.

 

[Beantown]

If GSW loses tonight they guarantee no OKC or Jazz in the 1st round. I assume they don't put up a fight tonight.
