Who said they are tanking. Both teams have been playing hard for a while |
Utah tanked when they traded four of their rotation players for a guy they immediately waived and a low 1st round pick in 4 years. The players are still trying but it’s clear the front office was not prioritizing winning this year. |
I don't know that I'd call it tanking, but you're right that the Jazz are prioritizing rebuilding over winning. The top four lottery teams are locked in, and Orlando has a two-game lead in the win column against Portland for the fifth spot. Portland seems intent on getting the sixth spot, and that's the last spot that really matters. The odds drop off after the sixth spot. Utah and OKC are shooting for the play-in, as they should. _________________ Internet Argument Resolved |

More like if AD didn’t make that stupid foul and didn’t choke at the free throw line, we would be in 6th.
Those Mavs and Rockets games was the nail in the 6th place coffin. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

I mean if they won all their games they would be first place.
It's still not crazy to get the 6th. Which is crazy. _________________ 💜💛 🏆 👀 🍖 #18!!! |

I already see 2 games that are going to annoy Laker fans.
Wolves will beat the Knicks somehow.
Sac will overlook this game vs. Jazz because I am sure they are thinking about tomorrow night’s showdown with Foston as a test.
Edit:

SAC should win if they take the game seriously. |

Seeing how Sac plays, I dont think that team takes any team lightly....hence I fully expect them to beat Utah. |

Nah. No longer have any confidence or hope for that. Especially with Ham here. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

Some of you don't take into account that certain teams might let an opponent win so they don't have to see AD and LBJ in the playoffs.
We just need to win... I don't trust anyone to try hard and do our work for us. |

Considering both guys are going to be banged up at best or out at worst are we sure teams won’t want to get Bron/AD? _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

2 players the Lakers let go are now starters. Pat Beverly-Chicago. Russell Westbrook-Clippers _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

It's all good, Ham would have been playing Beverly with D-Lo/Schroeder and closing with him over Reaves |
