Was this just an off game for Love? I was getting used to seeing good numbers from him.

Re: Loves vs. Jazz (Game Thread)
i don wanna say this but i think we pick the wrong team and wrong time to won............
we can have utah's pick if they can be top 8 in the league, and memphis won today so we could be advancing to 4th in the lottery list while getting closer to grab a late first rounder....
sigh, i guess winning is always good tho

I have to agree, now we have to hope that Memphis and former Seattle win at least one more game than we do which seems to be quite impossible since we have 3 more games we can win coming up if I remember right. -.-
Anyway, a win is a win

Re: Loves vs. Jazz (Game Thread)
Wins are still going to be hard to come by. I do want that 4 spot if we can get it and get a player we really want but I am not as concerned about that 4th draft pick. If we don't get it now then we will get it and a good player in the future.

I don't really mind if it is the 4th or the 6th pick because the difference of talent between #1-2 and #3 is big but the difference between 3 and 6 is not that big...I just hope that we somehow end up with Rubio.

Re: Loves vs. Jazz (Game Thread)
i'm pretty sure Griffin, Rubio, and Thabeet will be top 3, then if we hold the 4th pick we can choose from guys like Harden, i dont like to wait for other team to pick and being anxious about whether the guy u want will be gone or not

I'd be satisfied if Thabeet is already picked

We also have the advantage that we have locked PF. So we can hope that Hill or Monroe are picked in front of our pick...

Re: Loves vs. Jazz (Game Thread)
That's gotta be one of the best wins of the season. To beat the Jazz at home where they've only lost a handful of games is one thing, but to do it without Foye, Smith etc is huge.

Re: Loves vs. Jazz (Game Thread)
I hate to say that I'm OK with a loss, but I think I've reached the point in the season where I'm looking at the draft. However, its important that these young players don't lose every game and lose their confidence. This was a great game to win, from that perspective -- succeeding at a big challenging road game against a west coast play-off team. Moreover, if we're going to beat a team, UTA is the best team to beat, because it even helps us in the draft, further pushing them down into deferring their pick.

Re: Loves vs. Jazz (Game Thread)
Since we win so few games, I don't feel too bad about reading the opposing game threads when it happens. Statements like "Jazz by 30," still make me feel better about our team. Is that so wrong?

Just another example of what the wolves should have done all year - sit Foye and start Carney. He's the better player.
