You know this bunch gets pressured when history is at stake lol. Would have cemented this group’s place in history, if only they didn’t choked up game 7 at home last year. Wasted opportunity.

It really wasn't that bad because it would've been more painful losing to the Nuggets in the finals.

Honestly I would take 3-2 and be happy. Anything more is gravy.

Jazz are playing their best of the season right now. Won 6 of their last 7 and are 4th in net rating over that stretch. Beat some bad teams but also beat Heat and Mavs in the last week.

Purgatory. Can't really compete and can't suck enough.. Utah gets pick 14.. his favorite lottery position.. Who is this year's Romeo?

Okc owns their pick protected for 1-10.

We’re not trading for you, bud. Go ask for a buyout.

This is true for a team that has only their own picks in which to build.

Utah will have many options to build with, regardless of where their own picks fall. They are nowhere near purgatory.
New York said Mitchell wasn't the guy you trade the sink for, then they traded it for Mikal, lol.

Perhaps but some of those draft picks will come many years in the future. Meanwhile, Utah sits as a pretty good lottery team. If not much chance to go up or down

Why does the NBA even have Back-to-Backs, in this day and age?

Part of what makes the NBA exciting.

Just like OKC losing to Atlanta after beating the Celtics the night before.

Nobody wants to watch Kelly Olynyk and Simon Fontecchio.

When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go. Nothing is impossible. The word itself says 'I'm possible!’ There is nothing impossible for those who will try. Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. You define your own life. Don't let other people write your script. Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put some sunglasses on. During our darkest moments, we must focus to see the light. Believe you can and you're halfway there.
