Rather enjoyed it as a Red Sox fan myself !

Wish I went to LA tonight instead of tomorrow. The nightlife has to be fun there tonight.

I have never seen this level of apathy from Jazz players before.

Read on Twitter


Should have traded Sexton and Kessler already. Jazz org is toxic right now. Ainge doesn't realize tanking in the West might keep you in the basement for a decade.

Gabe has been a pest on defense and has been navigating screens really well. This is the Miami postseason version Laker fans were hoping to see last year.

I think the Jazz will move a couple guys, but it's pretty obvious the Jazz had no interest in being competitive tonight. They want Flagg, Bailey, Harper or Edgecombe.

Man, the Jazz got smoked. They were even playing Lauri and their starters in the fourth after the game was way out of hand. They don’t even need to try to tank.

The suns have the weakest big 3 of all time. Booker has never been a winning player. Beal is useless if he’s not hitting 3s and KD has lost like 2 steps.

Phoenix Suns are the definition of a treadmill team. Going absolutely nowhere with that mediocre roster where guys take turns on offense and play garbage defense. A lot of soft players too on that team

They'll be lucky to make the play in. Come on now.

Ayton has been abysmal in this fourth quarter. Just terrible on both ends.

And Suns fans couldn't be happier to see him stinking it up somewhere else.

This contract he got will be the last big one he gets unless he somehow has a brain transplant with someone who can take advantage of his physical gifts.
