No. No. No. I am counting on you guys to spank the Wolves for us Jazz fans! It's the least you can do for us after stealing our All Star.

We're screwed.

C'mon, I don't want to hear that defeatist attitude. Be optimistic.

Nothing will beat that one guy who tried to talk s*** this year by showing the division banners picture. I almost burst out in tears laughing when I saw that.

They should hang a banner this year that says "Actually a threat to win the East, for once".

last 2 games which we lost were tough losses @ Utah, @Portland...KAT got ejected in last match at half time and got some bad calls from refs in last 2 matches. I would say our starting lineup is still pretty decent even without Jimmy but our bench is garbage which is the one of the main reasons why our team is underperforming

We’re gonna give them a beatdown

Sucks you guys used all that cap on teague. If they had known Tyus was ready you guys could have signed a couple bench pieces that help you out more

Tyus isn't better than Teague...Tyus imo is a great backup PG but I don't think he can be a consistent starter for a top10 team(or a team contending to be in top3/4 in conference) as of now. Needs to improve his 3 point shoot. I ok with Teague(just wish there was no player option in the final year of the contract)..he has had some bad stretches but on the whole he is fine. I think he needed some time to adjust as the 4th option in the team which he probly was not used to before. He has been playing well again since February.

We match up extremely well with these guys IMO. They have the size down low to match up with them and Brown has the size to bother Wiggins. If b-jelly and Teague beat you then you deserve to lose

Would agree on paper, but we have this Minnesota curse for some reason. Like, besides last year, it seems Minnesota is a place we never win.

But you got a future All Star to fill his void? :wink:

Calderon in 07-08 was as efficient as MVP Curry
Pascal Siakam is better than Horford and Tatum
Raptors bench better than Celtics starters
Raptors young core better than the Celtics.

Lol they probably watch top ten teams of all time on NBA TV and get upset there's no mention of this year's Raptors.

Still grumpy about the Houston game. Wins in games like these will go a long way towards relieving that. Regardless of the quality of opponents, it'll make me feel better to be able to say something like "we've won 6 out of 7 since the break, with the only loss being to Houston".

I'm sure Chicago will gladly dump that Asik contract on them if they can't seal the deal for Noah.....Thibs has gotta do something about KAT's defense, right?
