No accidental wins. We need this one.

I don't see how you "accidentally" win with these starters. This is bona fide tanking.

Unless Den finds ways to suck even more.

Denver just trying to screw the Jazz out of good lottery position after losing so many trades with us.......

To be fair, IMO both teams look lethargic and undisciplined out there. They just manage to suck worse.

Dunn had 14 assists, including six assists in Q4. Granted he got those six Q4 assists playing against the Denver bench (Denver rested their starters in Q4), but I liked seeing that traditional, pass-first mentality from our point guard in Q4. Since Conley left, we haven't got a lot of that pass-first mentality in Q4s from THT, Sexton or Clarkson.

I blame you for this W. You just had to say it...

The Nuggets even played their starters for 3 quarters so it's not like they were playing a 10-day contract and deep bench guys a lot.

Thanks, I do appreciate this recognition!

If it would've been up to me, most of these guys wouldn't have even had a towel on their head.
