Jazz vs Cavs......8:30MT......Hayward is out.....

Mack almost had a triple double 17/7/10! When's the last time a Jazzman had 10+ assists? Was it Dante last year in that one game he had 12?

Also I'm really happy Lyles jawed back with Frye and pushed him. Shows he's got some Booker in him. I was worried he'd be kind of passive and a bit soft. He really played great tonight too, 12 pts in 13 min with some clutch shots. 10 in the 4th quarter alone.
 
Been stuck in the parking garage in the same spot for 30 minutes reminding me why I don't go to games lol

Why? Some of the teams behind us have no incentive to lose, they don't have their pick or are fight for the playoffs. It could be an easy job and would get us a better asset that could be used to get a better player in trades.

I am pretty vanilla about it, though. I just present it as an option.

I guess Utah may have sunk as low as 8th if they had lost almost all their remaining games. But that would have meant a handful of teams would have had to make up 2-3 games on the Jazz. And that's not easy when those teams are playing at a .300-.400 pace. Sure a lot of them don't have incentive to tank. But they're also just plain lousy.

Utah DOES need a couple more decent players. But I think that has to come through free agency.

I'm pretty sure Hayward had a 10 assist game earlier this year.

Now walk yourself through a recruitment pitch for Hayward this offseason when he's in his contract year, and you're trying to tell him that signing with Utah is his best shot at being with a winning franchise
 
To the anti-Quin crowd: The decision to start Mack-a-roni and Threes was a no-brainer and a few bad outings doesn't change that.

The Jazz have been the #1 first quarter team in the NBA since the trade.

This plus We ain't getting to 8th either... The difference between 10th and 12th is minimal... I just think people don't understand how to tank. You are either tanking from the start to get a very high pick or tanking at the end of the season to avoid conveying a protected pick... Otherwise a spot or two is stupid. In this draft we coul likely move to 7th or 8th if there was someone we loved.
