Game 81: Jazz vs. Lakers 7 PM MDT

[JazzMatt13]

Corbin is all sad about losing, as if it was like last year when Lakers beat us for the last playoff spot, and we didn't go.

I honestly am happy were not at that same spot, being #14, and not going to playoffs, but then not in good position for a top player.

From the Laker board...

If I hear Nick Young's dumb voice bragging about being a "player hater" during the post game interview I may break something in my house. I haven't been this pissed in a while. I wish we never signed this scrub to a contract - he legitimately screwed our future tonight.

Well, that made me feel a little better.

One of my 2015 dreams:

HC: George Karl

Assistants: Brad Jones, Alex Jensen and (someone new)

Starting Line Up: Burke - Burks - Wiggins - Kanter - Favors

I can live with Trey as our PG. He was trying to make a huge rookie of the year push at the end of the yearso he shot a lot. He improved his passing and doesn't turn over the ball. An ok PG in my book. If we draft Exum, he is 18 let him come off the bench for the Burks and play both PG/SG. You can always trade Trey a couple years down the road.

I prefer wiggins/Parker/Exum/Gordon but don't want another unathetic big in Randle which a lot of draft boards have us picking. He seems like a Kanter clone.

He shot a lot all season long. Don't make me plot it for you.

I feel bad for laker fans...

Woot!! All smiles here. No reason to read too much into this, guys. Was a freak game and it could not have happened at a better time!

a freak game? we are 3-21 since the beginning of march...

3-21 vs. the Lakers?
Jazz beat that team 8 times out of 10.

whoosh.

The problem with Corbin:

If I asked Corbin "what could you do this season to have done better, after finishing the season already". He wouldn't know what he could have done to win, even if we sent him back in time to redo this season. The guy isn't learning and isn't getting better. I am hoping for Day 1 fire.

I don't know what was worse. Watching us lose so badly all season, or listening to Matt Harpring talk up every team we face more than ours. I swear he has a crush on at least one player on each team we have played.
Don't get me wrong I like that he can recognize talent and knows the game well but Damn man stop taking so much smack on us!

Your biggest complaint about Harpring is that he's not a big enough homer?

Trey was shooting because he likes to shoot and it is who he is as a player.

And Randle is a lot more athletic than Kanter. If Jazz lands Randle and any taker can be found for Kanter, it might be a good draft and off-season.

Yeah, that's crazy talk.

I would appreciate a house cleaning of radio and tv announcers along with the coach.

They really need to change things up somehow. What they're doing right now is not working.

Glad the Lakers won, but we are not out of the woods yet. Still need to lose to the Wolves and then May 20 will be a huge day. I'm more freaked out the Lakers get the last laugh then.

Worst case scenario is the Jazz tie with Boston for 4th/5th.

[Hoops Addict]

Great loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We sucked.....it was awesome.

This was a big day for the tank......we have almost successfully tanked to the 4th spot.

Orlando is about a game away too. Boston is 1 away.......1 more loss and we will probably get someone good.

Hello Exum....unless we win the lottery and get someone better.

[spoonhoops]

Although I dont know much about exum, he would be a great consolation prize at 4th although I don't believe 4th is our final landing spot.

Standings-

We suck......close to #4....and with a little lottery luck.......

[TheStig15]

I think a lot of you are being a little overly pessimistic, Alec and Derrick are both good players, if we make a good pick in the draft and a solid signing or two in the offseason this team will start to turn around
