Looks like the guys had a long night in LA :lol: Super lazy, but also super predictable. Let's see if we turn it on for a few minutes for the win.

Man I was looking forward to watching this game, I guess Xfinity decided to switch my channels around in my package and ATTRM is no longer available unless I want to upgrade. :(

Think all of our turnovers have come from pump fake and drive disease.

Thought we were going to come out of the half with a blow out. Instead...some more laziness creeps in and this game extends. Would have been nice to put this one away.

Jae's full on IDGAF effort tonight has almost single handedly made this a game. Why did he even dress tonight?

If one of our starters gets hurt because Jae extended this game.......

And there it is. Royce O'Neale now leaving the game playing in a meaningless game due to injury.

Please sub out starters. Meaningless game, no playoff implications, and the guys aren't even trying. There is no upside, only risk.

Another pathetic fourth quarter for the Jazz and can't even compete with the bench of the Lakers.

I didn't watch the game but looking at the Lakers' roster, how the hell did we manage to lose this game?
Btw, how did Denver had an epic tanking effort?

The real decision the Jazz FO is making is between Continuity, Cap Flexibility, and Cash Considerations.

How you lose to a team fielding mostly a gleague roster is just sad.

DEN had big incentive to let POR win because POR can still catch HOU, which would put HOU #4 and on the other side of the bracket.

They started the game resting Jokic, Murray, and Millsap. But their backups were able to build a lead midway through the first. So they decided to bench their backups in an effort to lose the lead and eventually the game. Isaiah Thomas is truly the tank commander.

But Nuggets could fall to 3 and lose home court for round 2

Obviously they are more worried about who they face then where they face. They are losing to the Rockets at home or away. Would suck to be their players with so little faith in you.

This loss really isn’t a big deal, and could work to Utah’s advantage. We want Portland in the first round, and if Houston dropped to 4th, Utah dropping to 6th could be best case scenario, with Portland in the first round and Denver in the 2nd.

Also, nothing wrong with Denver’s strategy. Houston in the 4th seed means 2nd round would be GS vs Houston. That’s ideal for whatever team avoids them both in the 2nd round.

Dude needs to wear #50, that way when he's on the fast break, everybody can yell "Here comes five-oh!"
