"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

Also, very enjoyable to see the Warriors in last place, even if they have no players on their team at the moment.

Yet I fear for what this will bring, i.e. the #1 overall draft pick to add to a core of Curry, Thompson, Green, and Russell.

Yeah. As far as hand breaks go, Curry's seemed to have perfect timing...

At least this is supposed to be a very weak lottery. LaMelo Ball is getting looks at #1. Look for the W's to trade the pick (and maybe Russell) post-lottery to add depth.

it will be interesting to see how long snyder keeps conley on the bench. with the way he played vs indiana, if he comes off the bench again tonight, it may be for an extended period.

I had a similar thought yesterday, which was "if Conley were a designated 6th man for the rest of the year, would he be the highest paid 6th man ever?" Jazz are rolling (over cupcakes, mostly), and inserting Conley back into the starting lineup could mess things up.

According to 538, the odds of the Jazz winning it all increased from 1% to 2% after yesterday's win over the Warriors. There's a chance.

Good heavens. No Harden. No Westbrook. Houston still destroying the Jazz at half.

Jazz playing like they just don't care.

[LiveCoug]

This game is seriously so frustrating. Jazz go on multiple mini runs to make it a close game and then turn the ball over 40 million times and the Rockets go back to a 12+ point lead.

[LiveCoug]

Welp. That was incredibly embarrassing.

Houston = Utes. Jazz = BYU

[Donuthole]

Really bad loss. Tons of awful, unforced turnovers and Ingles shooting like garbage. Can’t understand how the game plan in this one was not to double Gordon and force everyone else to beat you.

[Commando]

Yeah everybody seemed to chip in a couple of really dumb turnovers in the 4th quarter to seal it for the shorthanded Rockets.

Putting them on the line 49 times is a sure way to lose a basketball game. There is no more efficient shot in basketball than the free throw.

eric gordon who has pretty much been a spot up shooter most of his career (though admittedly he's always been capable of more than that) goes to the line 20 times and scores 50. what on earth?

Yesterday I sent text to my FF group text predicting Gordon or House Jr were going to have a career game and upset the Jazz. You could see it coming. Guys who aren’t allowed to shoot as much as they think they should, get a free pass knowing they can’t get benched. I could just see it coming.

It seems like the Jazz give up an unusual number of 50 point games to guys who shouldn't do that. In the last season and half, Gordon, Rose, Ingram.
