Honestly, why are we winning games at this point?
- Thread starter Chris
- Start date
The players are hungry, they like to play and they like to win. Guys like Dunn, Fontecchio and Azubuike are trying to prove they belong in the league.

You play the game to WIN - Herm Edwards
I try not to have any expectations going into games.
I stopped rooting for them to lose a few weeks ago. While I maintain that trying to improve the odds of getting Victor is the best strategy for the long-term for this franchise that is clearly not the direction the team is going, so it doesn’t do me any good to fight it. Go Jazz!

I mean if look at the West with rose colored glasses we might see:
Nuggets - That team depends on Jokic. Maybe Kessler can slow him down?
Kings - Kessler's son plays here
Grizzlies - Dillon Brooks is working overtime to distract media from the actual distractions caused by Ja
Suns - If they find enough duct tape to fix KD this team will be deadly.
Clippers - Basketball retirement home
Warriors - Hey.. that was our team motto!
Mavs - If basketball was played with two balls this team would be deadly. But its not, so they are fake.
Lakers - AD and Lebron alternating injuries. Soon its ADs turn, so high 5 and switch.
OKC and Minny - Only thing to bet on is their inconsistency.

I understood it at the beginning of the season, but honestly at this point, I can’t fathom why a Jazz fan would be looking down on wins like the one we had last night.
With how things have unfolded, it’s pretty clear that the Jazz are already light years ahead on this rebuild and it’s pretty safe to say that the rest of the rebuild isn’t going to look anything like a traditional tank job.
Quin quitting on this franchise and being replaced by Will Hardy put us on a trajectory that seemed unfathomable back when it happened. The same can be said with what Laurie/Kessler/ and now Ochai have become in their short time here.
It’s not likely that both the Jazz and T’Wolves make it to the playoffs, so we should at least have one set of ping pong balls in the lottery. It would be great to have both picks in the lotto, but I’ve gotta admit that it would be pretty damn cool to see this team fight its way into the playoffs. Honestly, with the heart this squad has, if they fight their way into the postseason and get healthier, I wouldn’t be in a hurry to bet against them for a series or two.

this thread really is beating a dead horse. This org was never really doing the thing they call tanking. They tried to a little bit at the deadline, and were clearly fine with being in the lottery, if the kids they didn't trade, failed to get wins/ making upgrades necessary.
They are proving in a lot of ways we don't NEED a lottery pick, even though obviously having one is optimal.
You don't have to build through the draft, if you make trades for guys other teams tried rebuilding through the draft with, and I think DA is proving that already right before our eyes.
It would be nice to have 2 long shot lottery tickets losing the play in, and the Wolves losing to somebody else , but thats about all you can wish for outside of seeing us play spoiler in the first round.
I want to be sending the Joker packing and pick 16th if we do win the play in though and in that case it better be a match up against the Wolves in the play in so their pick that we own has a shot at Wemby I'm good with that.
