Jazz in “Group of Death” in the in-season NBA Cup

[The Midnight]

If they want to be like soccer then go all in with relegation to prevent tanking.

Bu then how do you do drafting?

Get relegated but get the top pick?

Don’t think the NBA would wanna do that…

Sixers have a really easy group.

Celtics too.

Looking at those groups makes me wonder who the bottom 5 teams in West are going to be.

Portland looks like a lock.
Wemby may need time to put his offensive game together... so maybe the Spurs are bound to miss the play in(?)
Houston added FVV, Brooks, Amen and Whitmore. Already had promising young guys... but maybe they need more time.

Even if those 3 all fall short.... who are the other 2? Are the broken Mavs bound to fall short? Or the other dysfunctional team in Minny? Pels if they lose Zion (trade or injury, pick your poison)? Both LA teams and Warriors are old so health risks are big there, but do we really believe they will end up outside?

Really tough call.

One of the obvious choices is the jazz. The mavs, minny, lakers, warriors and pels will all be better than us.

Nope, get out of here with that nonsense.

 

[Rubashov]

This is the *****est idea since Euro Disney. If the NBA is struggling for viewers its probably because the best players are sitting for a third of the season.

We are going to dominate!

The only thing we're missing is a trash talker like Ingles or P. Bev.

" Will". Not "could", or even "should".

Have fun rooting for that prediction.
