Beasley made 4 3s in the first half. That means he leads Ant by 3. Whatever number he hits in the 2nd (the game looks like a loss for the Pistons which might mean more garbage time,) will inform Ant how many he needs for the 3 point title. Hopefully it does not effect our chances to win.

Even though Jazz didn't activate their regular starter, they will still play hard and try to win. There is so much draft pick consequences riding on this game for Jazz. Since DAL gave up today's game, the only other game worth watching is GSW vs LAC. It's playoff for the winner and play-in for the loser. I am hoping Reed Sheppard will have the game of his life and beat DEN.

I am still not sure play DEN now when Murray is not 100% or in later round is better. DEN with Jokic, Gordon, Murray, and Porter is more dangerous than LA. With LA, at least we could invite Luka to Texas Roadhouse all you can eat steaks to neutralize some of his effectiveness.

I don’t fear the Lakers 5 on 5, I fear them 8 on 5. The NBA is not a true league, it is a corrupt business that clearly plays favorites. Last year that benefited us (Ant as the new MJ,) now I am not as sure.

He finished with 7.

Unlikely Ant beats him.

If we get up big Ant could take 20. 6 ties, 7 wins.

Wizards won, so Jazz can have the worst record all to themselves with a loss!

Jazz should not be a threat. Wolves lose today and they send a message to the whole league that Ant is not a superstar.

Are we finally tap into Gobert's offensive potential? Guy moves like a poor man's Giannis Antetokounmpo

If we get up big, Finch better not leave Ant in there to chase a meaningless stat.

Not only do I not want to risk injury, but its not great optics to be spamming 3s when you're up huge.

Randle is so f*ing suck at interior passing. That is one fault that makes me think twice about re-sign him

Rank the top ten players available for this game.

Do we have eight of them?

I guess it depends on how you rate George.

Who else is even in the conversation?

I can arguably put Clark and STJ also ahead of all the Jazz players

[BlacJacMac]

Utah has figured out they can attack Naz and Randle at will.

[Neeva]

With so much at stake you would think they would stop this playing down to opponent bs

[Domejandro]

Minnesota can’t buy a bucket. Utah is on fire.

Pretty much just need to keep generating open looks and hope that they start to drop. Utah is collapsing hard on drives, shooters just need to do their jobs and hit open threes.

[BlacJacMac]

Wolves seem hellbent on shooting themselves out of a game against a team with zero interior defense.

[TimberKat]

I walk away for a few minutes to come back to 40-40

[TimberKat]

Let's hope Gobert don't get in a fight with #22.
