Jazz V Spurs II Why a back to back with the same team only Stern knows

[Weezur]

I'm embarrased by this win.....is that bad?
The Spurs team had like no talent on the floor and still almost beat the Jazz. I can't even think who their best player was....if I had to say, it would be Bonner cause his name sounds funny.

Is getting swept out of the playoffs in games that probably aren't even going to be very close to watch Jefferson, Millsap, and harris play 40+ worth sacrificing 2 lotto picks?

How do we lose two lotto picks by beating Spurs and/or getting into the play-offs?

This game only directly impacted the Jazz' own pick.

When they beat the Warriors the other night, it may have impacted the Utah pick and also the GS pick.

....we stopped their streak....don't matter who played and who didn't play. We stopped the streak!

Yes, The Jazz desparately need two more lottery picks so this board can spend the next 4 years bitching and moaning about what a disappointment they are.

I need this to give my life more meaning. Don't take my dream away.

You forget before that they'd have to bitch that they aren't getting enough playing time and bitch about the players playing a head of them, it's the trifecta of bitching.

Lol at everyone wanting to tank for the 14th pik in the draft. What a crap shoot, yeah maybe we can get Kirk Snyder 2.0!!!

You want a draft pick? Hope GSW jeeps winning. You want this team to be better in the future, make winning the standard, not tanking.

Oh but I was very underwhelmed by the game, like we've seen the past several games the Jazz just came out ho'hum' and while the last several minutes were exciting (thnx to Harris) along with the 13 blocks sprinkled throughout the game, this win didn't feel very good.

I don't know what was more pathetic. The Jazz barely edging out a lame Spurs team or the bush league move by Pop for leaving his three best players way before this game was meaningless.

Bush league? Putting his team in better position to play well in the playoffs and maybe win another ring? Please, then give me Bush league.

Folks, that was a lesson in extreme coaching that I would hope Jazz management could see. Resting your best, getting some nice PT for your bench and tuning them up for the playoffs, and still having your scrubs coached up well enough to almost win a road game. Jazz should have hired one of Pop's assistants, not one of Ol' Jer's.

Yep not sure if the Jazz were paying attention but they (Spurs) showed them how to execute and compete and that alone will keep you in games (similar to the year after S&M retired and Jerry should have gotten COY) even if your not as athletic or talented as the person across from you.

Although to be fair the Spurs back ups are better shooters then most everybody on the Jazz, sad.

That is because they respect shooting, something the Jazz for some reason never have. Pops always has a bunch of guys who drop a 3 on you. The Jazz, not so much. Bad decision making, bad strategy. I think you can more reliably teach defense, especially team defense, than you can shooting.
