This morning Rotowire has Conley OUT, Clarkson UNLIKELY GTD, Beal LIKELY GTD and Westbrook starting. If Conley/Clarkson are out and Beal/Westbrook in, winning this game is bigger challenge than the records indicate. The Wizards previously beat us in Washington when Conley didn't play. Both Beal and Westbrook went off for big games.

Go Jazz!

I'm curious to see what the rotation will look like if both Conley and Clarkson are out. Oni will definitely get another big chance, but I wonder who gets the 9th spot. I kinda like Trent Forrest but I'm not sure they're ready to give him real minutes yet. I reckon it would probably be Thomas.

Who the F is Thomas?
I kid.

Snyder sat Mitchell too long.

I'd better take a look at Ersan.

My opinion long-standing is that between our fast ball handler Conley-DM-Clarkson, one can be missed without big problem. But 2 of the missing is a big problem. All other players are or more slow, or mediocre with ball in hand, or both

Ingles is not good without Clarkson, Mitchell, or Conley.

I really hope Niang is gone this summer.

Niang is garbage.

This game is why the Jazz needed to be more active at the deadline.

We're missing Conley and Clarkson. We're playing minutes to Forrest and oni in their place. Let's not overreact.

Exactly...... we needed a better player than Thomas.

These refs are terrible.

Never would have thought that foul by O'Neale on Gafford was a flagrant.

Foul yes flagrant is just plan stupid! See guys smacked in the head without flagrant then next game Jazz player smacked in head and they claim it's wasn't meant to be hard foul so no flagrant. There's no consistency other than it's always going against the Jazz. Hard to watch some games when the Refs are so bad. If I was a Jazz player i'd be kicked out of half the games because of the Refs!
