This is Our Time: April 14 - Los Angeles Lakers @ Utah Jazz - 7pm MT

This game could be like that Southpark episode where nobody wanted to win little league baseball games.

Or even like that badmitten match in the London olympics that neither team wanted to win so as to get a more favorable matchup in the knockout round.

Should be a barn burner.
 
We should just win this damn game against the fakers! I'm pretty sure the basketball gods will rewards the jazz by over jumping the fakers in the lottery draft. I watched the fakers play one quarter against the grizzles last night (3rd quarter) and they are pretty horrid that it's quite pathetic. I just couldn't stand watching them play, chucking up shots after shots like they are gonna actually hit it from that range. Blow out the fakers Utah!
 
You can bet the house the Jazz win this one. Our only chance is if the Jazz players drive U-hauls to the game.
 
Both teams will play decent the first 3 1/2 quarters and try to keep it relatively close.
The last 8 minutes both teams will desperately try to throw the game without it looking too obvious. That could be the most comical 8 minutes of NBA ball ever televised! Must see TV!

Jazz are a 5pt favorite in Vegas. Never been more tempted to bet a Jazz game in my life. Easiest money ever tonight... right?

The technical term for this is the "Emotional Hedge Bet". Normally this is done when you want your team to win (and you bet AGAINST them)...so if your team wins, you're happy, but if they lose, at least you win some money as a consolation... I this case, we want to do an Emotional Hedge Bet for our team to LOSE. I've never done this before but it will work the same way. But the key here is to bet the money line (not the pointspread), because the Jazz could win the game by 3 points and it would be a double disaster...we win the game PLUS you lose money.
 
I haven't watched a game in a week or two. I will watch this one, and it will be the most bizarre feeling of my life, rooting for the Lakers to win in Utah yet knowing that the Jazz will probably win the game. Un-****ing-real.
 
Jazz by 40. Kanter will get his career high, Alec will go wild, and Hayward as usual will shoot poorly. Count how many times the Jazz production crew get close-ups of Ty. That would make a good drinking game.

If we have to win, I'd want to that way.
 
Just saying too, we thought we'd beat the bucks and then we got blown out by them. Unfortunately a lot of LA's guys are sitting out. Williams will be out tonight, maybe we'll see some other injuries too.
