Why not? Seems like they've already started.

They usually rest players during back-to-backs. SA has days off before/after the Jazz game. And Utah is the first game on their road trip. GS/Denver is back-to-back. Unfortunately, those are the games they probably rest players.

**** it, let's beat the Warriors on Wednesday.

I seriously think we can beat them. We've played them fairly well already, are at home, are starting to peak, and the Dubs is on the second night of a B2B with a 10:30pm ET game tonight and our 9:00pm ET game tomorrow. Let's pray for an OT game tonight for them.

We have to limit turnovers and defend well while hitting the shots they gave us.

Last night's recap. Jazz crushed the Lakers. I want to say that the Jazz crushed their spirit but the Lakers clearly have none. No fight, nothing. pathetic.

Grizz also lost! only 4 games down.

Unfortunately Mavs and Blazers won. So the Jazz worst night in this stretch was a 50/50 night. Out of the big 4 (Portland, Memphis, Dallas and Houston) Portland is the stiffest competition.

Tonight's games:

Rockets @ Cavs Stupid Cavs are resting James...Cavs can still win this.

Sure is fun to be talking about playoffs and playoff positioning again instead of what pick we could get and how many games we should be intentionally losing to help the tank.

Thanks rally churro

Holy **** yes. I can't wait to see the Jazz play in the postseason.

Jazz are currently at their win total from last season iirc

Maybe it's not the churro. Maybe it's your high-tech rally board. Gives the players a goal and reminds them to just take it one game at a time. I could swear I've heard Lyles chant "42."

Seriously, though, I agree with your post. I was tired of looking at the mocks and wondering who would be there at 12-14. Now I can wonder what Burke + #16 will get the Jazz.

I'm still happy to talk about what pick we might get. How far do you think Luwawu will fall? Who will be the next Gobert / Hood (27/23) steal that DL pulls out of his *** to make the bench stronger next year? Jazz are still tanking. They should be up near the 4th seed (instead of 7th) but they took their time showing it.

It's the girls. As soon as people started posting high quality pics in game threads, the Jazz started winning. Coincidence? I don't think so!

Jazz are still tanking.

Then they are doing a horrible job of it.
I think someone mentioned that the jazz are the 3rd best team in the league (warriors, hawks) in the last 10-15 games or something.

Some of the worst tanking I have ever seen tbh

 

[fishonjazz]

your high-tech rally board.

Lol.
Looks like it was drawn by a kindergartener. I suck at drawing and have horrible penmanship
