If the Grizz lose to Dallas tonight their game against Utah is meaningless. GO DIRK!
..... ewww I feel dirty.
With the Lakers reeling off 4 straight wins since The Sweep, the Jazz have been put in a tough spot, and their magic number for elimination is now down to one. As we all know, they've gotta win out and hope the Lakers lose to the Rox. That said, with most of the team playing poorly, Al Jefferson has been a monster for the Jazz. In their home game vs Minnesota on Friday, Al put up 40 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists on 19-27 shooting in a close game. I don't care who the opponent was, or who was banged up, but to put up an efficient and monstrous line like that in a must win game says something.
After that tough game requiring a Herculean effort from Jefferson, people thought the Wolves would put them out of their misery in Minnesota, but so far Jefferson has come through again with 22 points, 8 boards, and 2 blocks on 8-15 shooting and 6-6 from the line. The Jazz are up 13 with just over 6 minutes left. Bigto to big Al. The Memphis game will be a true test, provided the Grizz aren't resting starters, as they might still be battling for that 3 or 4 spot

Its pointless. Utah is out. Lakers will win Wednesday night vs Houston. No way in the league allows the Lakers to lose AT Staples that will put them in the playoff seeding.
I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but its just common business sense. You don't put a weak market like Utah over a mega franchise like the Lakers.
there was no "rigging" in the Spurs-Lakers game tbh, and Harden gets more calls than anybody, so it will be interesting.
So of course, the Mavs are doing their best to help the Lakers and choking in the 4th per par...
Bucks tanking vs Denver
Biggest issue for jazz is, why would houston take the game seriously? Is there anything to gain for them to win?
Cuban should be fined for putting his 34 year old wunderkind through a season like this with such a crap roster
#6 seed
Coming down to the last night of the season. Jazz @ Grizzlies, Rockets @ Lakers. Should be good...
So as a Suns fan, maybe I should actually be cheering for them to win tonight, against Houston. Lol.
Yes you should. And if Houston loses tonight and again to the Lakers on Wednesday, then you don't get your draft pick but Rockettes drop to the 8 seed and get OKC instead of the 7 seed, so that game will mean something to them.
Not if Suns win ...and gstate win
Killa, so what do we want with this Phx/Houston tonite? What would make Houston ease off Weds nite?
Only problem is I'm still hoping for the 3rd spot in the lottery, and best we can do is the 3 1/2 spot if we win tonight. But it certainly would be good to get two lottery picks.
Yeah, I'm assuming GS loses so Houston needs to lose in order to have something to play for against LA.
EDIT: Actually, Rockets would still be alive even if GS wins, because they have the tiebreaker. Plus they wouldn't want to drop to 8 vs LA (who has tiebreaker in event of a win, via conference record).
So I want GS to win and Houston to win tonite for it to be good for me, Jeremy?
No, I edited my post above. The only scenario in which Houston has nothing to play for against LA is if Houston wins and GS loses, then Houston will clinch the 6 seed tonight and be locked in.
Thank you.
So as a Suns fan, I want Houston to win (keeping Suns alive for the 3 spot in the lottery), but GS to also win, so Houston will still compete on Wednesday.
Jazz Griz will be fun
McHale said we're going hard on Wednesday no matter what.
I'm gonna need the Grizz.
Well, fortunately for you, the Grizz won tonight so they'll still be playing for home court advantage. It should be a very compe ive game.
Thank Christ.
