Kobe's last game against the Jazz. Outcome? (April 13th game thread)

[cowhide]

I am glad I fell asleep last night because the outcome of this game was exactly what I feared. Now any time Kobe is mentioned they will show his last game and the Jazz pathetic embarrassing effort will be forever part of NBA history. THis game is a fitting end to a season where the Jazz couldn't finish a game they led. Hopefully, some players will grow balls over the summer and realize how embarrassing their performance was down the homestretch.

Kobe 60, Jordan the shot, both against the Jazz.

Sigh.

We avoided a coin toss with WASH for the 12th pick. Now we get 12th outright.

I don't think we know what pick we get until after the lottery

 

[fishonjazz]

Exactly, I would've preferred to win this game, but now we get the 12th pick for sure and you just never know if that 1 spot can make a difference.

What if the team with the 13th must long ping balls wins the lottery? Man that would suck.

Let's be real, folks. The truth was we let Kobe have his way and then at the end didn't really try to win. Did you see the ridiculous half-hearted 3's we took at the end. Plus you'll note that Hood barely played the second half. You know if we wanted to win, one, we wouldn't have taken those kind of shots, and two, Hood would've been playing.

Did you see the defense we played on Kobe, just put a hand in his face without trying to block the shots. There really wasn't any incentive to win after Houston won. The truth is we didn't care whether we lost and in fact it was to our advantage to lose. More than you can say about Corbin who tried to win and made us lose our chance to get Lillard.

This isn't about pride but about the real truth of what happened. The Jazz tipped their hat to Kobe and I'm sure he will always look favorably on the Jazz organization. As you probably know Quin and Kobe are friends.

 

[Miggs]

Impressive. Granted, I don't see all the misses but on the makes, it looked like our guys were pretty much in his face most of the time.

 

[DForceAUS]

Pathetic collapse but true it was to our advantage to not win this one.

 

[fishonjazz]

tonstermits didn't care

Kinda ironic if we do get bumped up and LA gets bumped down and consequently lose their pick.

Hood wasn't playing at the end because he tweaked his ankle and was limping, according to Snyder in his post-game interview.

I'm tired this morning - took me a long time to wind down from the excitement of the game. Can I call in sick with a Kobe hangover?
