How so? Curious as to how you see this all playing out.

Lol

Is it weird? We are bringing young guys off the bench who cant really guard anyone (Brice/Keyonte/Filipowski) and a mediocre backup center (Eubanks) off the bench. Of course we are going to lose momentum at some point. Its kind of by design at this point.

Maybe not that weird, but we also can't sustain the same kind of play later in the game with the same lineup (start of Q1 for one).

Collier has better vision and defensive motor so I'd rather let him ride through some mistakes. I see him much more usable player in Jazz five years from now.

That is not wrong: he does shows flashes of excellency and has improved a lot. To become useful long-term he will need to either dramatically improve his finishing at the rim or develop a reliable jump shot. If he can gain both he would be a long-term starter, if just one of them - a quality backup.

Well yeah, the Jazz are the 2nd worst team in the nba

 

[NUMBERICA]

If we average 1 Wolf per day we can really impact the situation.

1 down. 2 chances left. We need to make up for the first hunt where we didn't get any wolves by getting a twoferone.

And for those of you who think less of me now... I am talking about the wolf epidemic in Northern Idaho. You can't go out past dark up there without risking your life!

Excuse me?

Didn't hear you sneeze but you are excused.

This loss was the one that gets us Coop

Given where we sit this season, and given the way the lottery odds work, it's virtually equally likely that this could be the one that prevents us from getting Flagg.

No ****. It was a joke.
Strange that you actually thought I might have some inside info that the T wolves loss actually secured us the #1 pick.
Sorry man, I don't have that kind of info. I don't work for the NBA and can't time travel.
I was just kidding around.

Having said that, literally every loss does increase our chances at having the best odds to get the #1 pick so it's more likely that the loss did help us get the #1 pick than a win would have.
