A quick history lesson on why we deserve to lose and have a higher draft pick than the Lakers:
1. Ocean beaches vs. Great Salt Lake. Crashing waves, hot chicks in bikinis, underage drinking. Though we can at least compete in the latter, our own beaches are full of endless amounts of brine, constantly have airplanes flying over them much less the fact that actually stepping into the lake will cause you to contract 98 different diseases. Let us not forget the lake stink; as my grandpappy used to say, “Magna’s so ghetto even the lake stink won’t roll in.”
2. TV Shows Based in SC vs SLC. I watched ‘The OC’. I thought it was awesome – screw you if you didn’t like it. The girls were hot, the scripts were quirky and Ryan was a solid leading man as the misunderstood boy from Chino. Sure the second and third seasons derailed the show but didn’t the fourth season redeem it a little bit? In comparison, ask people what TV shows have been based in Utah and they’ll probably say Sister Wives and My Five Wives. Yes, the only two TV shows you can think of based in Utah feature polygamists who have to fill their wives up more than your F-350 at a Holiday station. Simply not fair and contrary to 99.9999% of how people actually live here.
3. Disneyland vs. Lagoon. Do I really need to go into depth here? Substitute Magic Mountain or even Knotts Berry Farm and it’s apparent that our own amusement park can’t compete. For too many years, families have had to load their minivans and venture down I-15 with their screaming infidels to actually have a good time. You owe us back, God. Speaking of which:
4. God vs. Soulless Assholes. Venture down to Hollywood and stroll down the Walk of Fame sometime and see just how godless this place is. Liquor store, porn store, Louis Vuitton store, etc. It's a scientific fact that there are more whores per capita in LA vs. anywhere in the world. Only in a place this ****ty can the Biebers and Kardashians pollute the earth with their existence. In comparison, I can’t even look out at my bathroom window while taking a leak and not see three church steeples rising towards the heavens. It’s apparent that God is on our side, but why hasn’t that translated into success? Of course, that leads to:
5. Championships vs. No Banners. The Staples Center features 16 championship banners in the rafters. You already know how many we have; The Bear will probably get one in a few years. It’s time to practice a bit of socialism and spread the wealth out.
In conclusion, **** LA. This is our time.
Avery should become our permanent game thread creator... Come on Mod's... Offer him a job, pay him some jelly beans, maybe a few bucks.

How ironic is it that because of our short term thinking... We will stab ourselves while helping the Lakers... The ****ing Lakers... Obtain a higher pick.
We will be helping Kobe Bryant obtain his replacement while screwing ourselves over.
Man, the world sure is a funny place

Well as they say, life's not fair. Hopefully one day existence will be.
As a long-time fan, I would personally appreciate seeing Gobert, John Lucas and that little guy who shoots 3s play a lot of minutes.
For the record, if the Jazz get in a coin-flip contest with the Lakers and Celtics, I do not have confidence in the Jazz coming out on top.

Can't wait to see Boler, Harp, and Locke try to spin this devastating loss tonight as we blow out the Lakers as a "win."
Just watch as Locke spins this and comes up with a stat that the #7 pick is better than the #3 or #4 pick 80 percent of the time...
Because... Really... We never wanted a top draft pick. We actually really wanted another role player.
Stuff like that.
And Harp will talk about how it's always good to beat the Lakers. And how we "needed" this for confidence moving forward.
And boler will screw up on calling a skip pass and will come up with even more ridiculous nicknames.
Over or under 150 times boler/Harp will reference the Jazz's youth tonight and how it's a "learning process?"

Yeah, I heard that too. It was weird. I mean, Locke is usually such a tool.
Haha. I kid, I kid. I actually really appreciate David Locke.

There are four scenarios that can happen tonight as Philly and Boston also square off in Tank Warz.
1.) A Utah win and Boston win is expected. This is the most likely scenario. It is acceptable, but not necessarily desirable. The worse we end up is tied for 5th, but likely end up in a two way tie for 4th with LA.
2. ) A Utah win and Boston loss is the second most likely result. While not as devastating as it seems, it would be least desirable putting us into a 3-way tie for fourth, and likely finish the season all tied as well.
If you're curious to know what the lottery odds are for a 3-way tie at the fourth spot, they are 9% (1st pick) 9.8% (2nd pick) 10.7% (3rd). Not too shabby right
? yes and no. If our lottery balls don't pop up we are the mercy of a coin toss for positioning. If we fail as usual on the toss and are ruled 6th seed, we could be picking 8th if two teams under us jumped into the lottery. There is even an astronomical chance at 9.
3.) A Utah loss and Boston loss would be quite unlikely, but equivalent to the first option, except we likely end up in a two way tie for 4th with Boston.
4.) A Utah loss and Boston win will be pure bliss and secure us #4 all alone regardless of the last game. This isn't going to happen.....
Anyways, lets have a look at the Pau Gasol retina cam as he arrives on the floor at ESA
