"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

He did. But I'd be interested to know who many of those were tip in attempts. There were several possessions where he tipped a rebound several times, but never had a legitimate attempt.

And then there were several possessions where he got mugged with no call.

The officiating last night was horrible. Both teams would get away with incredible amounts of contact on one possession, and then would get called for a tacky moving screen the next trip up the court.

Definitely. He was drawing a lot of contact without getting calls.

The call on Milsap on the missed fast break layup and the call on Cousins when Jefferson fell down were two of the worst calls I've seen in a long time. Neither defender touched the offensive player.

This one is going to be ugly.

38 points in the 1st quarter. Ouch.

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

I don't know if there is a player in the NBA I hate more than Reggie Evans. Or I guess more accurately I hate that the refs let a guy with zero basketball ability get away with so much trash on the court.

Nice move by Kanter with the fake against Jordan.

With the additions of Martin and Young to the bench, I think this Clipper team could be pretty good if they had Billups. More consistent outside shooting and a better back-up PG would make that team tough.

GS loses 18 point lead to New Jersey at home. Ouch. B to B losses against NO and NJ and things aren't looking as good for the Jazz getting that pick. Jazz need to help themselves when they play each other this week.

What'll be fun about all these lottery picks is when they are riding the bench next year behind the lottery picks we have now, CUF will be bitching about why Burks and Favors are playing when clearly we should just spend throw next year away playing the young guys and stock piling picks for 13!

Yeah, just like our current group of lotto picks sitting behind our last group of lotto picks.

I was on the fence about the playoffs, but after the last couple games, the Jazz don't have any business being there and I would like to see us with two picks. Would really like to see another wing with the GSW pick (assuming we hold onto it, and boy would it suck to lose) and a point with our own pick.

One-and-done playoffs and losing out on both picks is the worst case scenario right now.

GSW is trying their darndest to hold onto their pick. With our luck, the Jazz will sneak in as an 8 seed and GSW will have the 7th pick in the draft.

[Non Sequitur]

If the Jazz packaged those two picks, how high could they get?

Yeah, that loss against NJ the other night was a blatant tank job. The good news is they are a full 3 games away from the 7th spot, and there's not a ton of games left. Plus, those other 7 teams really suck as well and will hopefully be doing their own tank jobs. There's also still the chance that they end up 7 and then get leapfrogged on draft night handing the pick right back.

My guess is not much higher. Maybe two spots or so. And I'm not sure the 6-7 spot looks dramatically different from the 8-9 spot right now.
