Game Thread May 08, 2021 08:00PM MT: Jazz vs. Rockets

[fishonjazz]

Wood has been ruled out, I have him on my fantasy team in the championship game, but it's okay I also have Bogey. Porter Jr. hurt his ankle on Wednesday so I would be surprised if he played. Wall's done for the year

The Rockets are now essentially dudes playing for their next contract. Kelly Olynyk has been playing pretty well.

Sweet
Thanks for the info

The deep bench will get good minutes in this one. Forrest is looking more and more comfortable and hopefully Matt Thomas gets some minutes so we can see him score in volume.

Rudy will reap their souls and than Udoka will sweep their bodies.

Blowout win.

This is a classic trap game after an emotional win last night. Rockets have nothing to lose and beating us would be a season highlight for them. We need to play hard and stay disciplined.

A clean, no BS game would be nice but I think this one is inside of yip range (that’s a golf reference). After the TWolves I probably shouldn’t say that but at least they had two very good players out there and the Rockettes do not.

I think we kill it have a huge lead then bring in the bench don't risk injuries.

Matt Thomas shouldn’t play over Elijah Hughes. If we get up big then I want to see a lot more Hughes, Forrest, Oni, and Dok (if he’s ready). After what I saw against SA, Hughes absolutely needs a second look from this franchise. His shot looked better than anything I’ve seen out of Thomas.

I am ready for some Udoka or some sleep. My body may not be able to handle b2b 4am and 5am games.

Shot is one thing, but Thomas has definitely more experience in playing within the system at nba level. Hughes is complete rookie who missed a lot of time due to injury. In short term Thomas may be more likely to contribute in limited role.
