Another loss?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Another loss?

Bounce back win

 

[TYDame]

Jackson after the trade is Out for the Season. Good tanking Jazz

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Big Nurk gonna show Clingan whose boss.

Jackson after the trade is Out for the Season. Good tanking Jazz

I was wondering how they were going to bench him to save the tank.

 

[Pinwheel1]

How can they be accused of tanking if he is having surgery? I bet they come out tonight and try to win this one.....then tank after the break.
They always play hard at home. Especially if all eyes are on them.

Jazz reportedly accused of tanking amid Jaren Jackson Jr. injury as NBA's Adam Silver put on notice

This might not be a good look for the Jazz or the NBA.

Because fans always want to find a reason to complain.

Guy gets surgery - "they are tanking!!!!"

Guy doesnt get surgery, plays through injury and gets a more severe injury - "they should have shut him down! What an incompetent organization!!!!"

 

[wizenheimer]

it actually sounds like a legitimate situation the Jazz are managing

 

[blazerkor]

Vegas has us favored by 7.5 points tonight.

No game this season is a game that we "should win" because we're at that precarious point as a team where we can be beat by anyone on any given night and can also reasonably beat any team on any given night.

I am hopeful that we get this one. It would be nice for our team to go into all star weekend with a confidence booster.

 

[TYDame]

No Lauri, No JJJ and No George for the Jazz tonight

He played last night, and it said his condition was discovered back at the trade deadline.

Seems more like he could play if needed but with their tanking they decided to just have him go get surgery now.

 

[ehizzy3]

Big Nurk gonna show Clingan whose boss.

Gross

 

[Chris Craig]

Big Nurk gonna show Clingan whose boss.

A 3pt battle or a battle in the post?

 

[Chris Craig]

No Lauri, No JJJ and No George for the Jazz tonight

 

[inconceivable]

Jaren Jackson Jr. to miss rest of season after undergoing knee surgery just three games after trade

 

[Pinwheel1]

View attachment 81261

Yep, the Blazers can't look at that injury report and think they can rest players, or they will get beat. If they are truly serious about this season, they need to treat it like a playoff game. Granted, they are 6 games back in the loss column for the 7th spot, but that should be their goal. Don't fuck around, sitting players. They have a week to rest.

 

[inconceivable]

Are we in purgatory again?

 

[42N8Bounce]

Are we in purgatory again?

I wouldn't call a team with:
- a 1st time 25 y/o all-star,
- a 22 y/o averaging 21.5 ppg,
- a 3rd year player voted to an all-defensive team the previous year,
- a 2nd year player averaging a double-double,
- a 9 time all-star coming off a year's rest from injury with a career 25.1 ppg average, and
- a 22 y/o 3rd year player coming back from an injury that previously averaged 5 assist and 12 points shooting over 35% 3pt, a team in purgatory.

I'd call that a team on the rise with an exciting future!

I laughed in reality.

[Everything Beagle]

I'm expecting BIG things from Jerami tonight:

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

No Lauri, No JJJ and No George for the Jazz tonight

I'm not going to get much satisfaction out of winning tonight.

 

[Everything Beagle]

I'm not going to get much satisfaction out of winning tonight.

At this point, I'll be happy to take the win.

 

[blazerkor]

I'm not going to get much satisfaction out of winning tonight.

We won't have Deni, Shaedon or Rob. So that's two starters (including our all star) and our backup C.

We're going to have to play really well tonight to get the W. I'll be happy and satisfied if we can secure the win.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Oh can we keep the little guy working the game with Lamar tonight? I like his patter. Very classic timbre. I could listen to him call 30 seasons of Blazers ball. He's only going to get better with age.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Dang, really like that 2-minute highlight package before the Vit Krici interview with Brooke. Really intense. Well done @THE HCP

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

A game without Calabro

 

[Everything Beagle]

A game without Calabro

Yeah we need our own guy. He still feels like Seattle's guy.

 

[Everything Beagle]

I like this guy! He's a hoot! He's got a CBS March Madness vibe to him.

Nice to see how aggressive Clingan is being tonight. He's had trouble with smaller guys in the past.
