HoopsGrinch bringin' it tonight! #TanKMeMaybe
We need Cody back with the Jazz playing 30 minutes a game
so hard to tank when you have Will Hardy as a head coach
James,
You do realize we can got 10-72 and still get they 3rd pick, right? Being the 32nd team doesn't guarantee us Cooper
Humbled by the lottery tonight Nerd? Imagine that.
It’s the Jazz. We have young talent 💯 We’ll be there eventually 🩼 👴
We missed on victor sweepstakes cuz we couldn’t miss out on a possible extra pick in 27 now we are gonna miss out on flag because we need an extra second in 29 for sexton or Collins! At what point do we realize that letting go of one of them for nothing gets you the prize😢
Couldn't agree more!
If you're going to beat this drum every single time the Jazz win a game, you're in for a long season. The Jazz are going to win games–they might even string together a few Ws in a row. That's going to happen. We're also going to lose a lot of games. I mean, we already have ~1/3 of a season's-worth of data suggesting that this team is one of the three worst teams in the NBA by just about every conceivable margin. Why are we overreacting to two wins in a row against two teams with losing records?
All credible reporting has pointed back to the fact that the Jazz FO is very high on the '25 draft, and that they understand the assignment this year. So far, they've put their money where their mouth is.
tl;dr: Chill out and let our FO do their jobs. Ainge is not stupid. This has been his livelihood for 20+ years. I promise that you aren't going to do a better job at this than he is.
RANT!!! Wins lottery.😅
Trade the vets already. They purposely want us winning. Let them be in a contending teams smh 🤦🏽♂️
This is the reason why NBA RATINGS on the downside because of this stupid idea teams that are struggling are in tanking mode just to get a top draft pick , its bad and NBA should fine this team just like the jazz . When you play any sport your mindset and mentality is to win not for the L. It’s so sad that what you strive hard from day 1 from amateur to professional you play to win not to lose. You nerd you are such a bad example promoting a team to get the L . You have such a pathetic obsession
Damn I couldn't listen past 3 minutes. I get it everyone wants the tank. How about we just enjoy the few wins we do get god damn
this is going to be a funny video to reference when we end up with the second-worst record in the league.
13:14 Jazz, tank! Make it so!
The Jazz's behavior suggests that they can't make up their minds on their direction. They need to pass this phase of "days yore"! 🤣 Merry Christmas, James! 🎄🙏
I don’t disagree with you, but like you said, NO is successfully tanking with Zion, we could easily tank with Lauri. But Coach kept him in with a few minutes left in the game while we were up like 15? Come on. Will has to get on board with the tank. Either way, this was such a stupid win
It’s just 2 games can we chill 😅💀
You should be going off about not trading Clarkson, Collins, and maybe Sexton.
And Dallas drafed Derick Lively and he has been great for them without blowing the team. And they traded for PJ Washington. Something tells me we doing this wrong way.
If you get angry now, please remember Denis Lindsey final move before getting fired was to draft Udoka instead of Desmond Bane.
Players play for win. Not for loose. If You want loosing tell Ainge to trade Collins, Sexton, Kessler, George, Clarkson and Markkanen after this season.
Dramatic af man we’re literally fine even if we did have the worst record in the league it’s still a lottery y’all remember the pistons these past couple years my god 2 wins in a row isn’t the end of the world it’s ok to win a little to give the young guys confidence and development they have to learn how to win too 😂
If we get another 7-10th pick again for the 3rd year in a row, this will go down as the worst jazz basketball I've ever watched in decades.
On another note, I 100% agree with hoops nerd.
The nets shot 40% for the game and 18% from 3 they were too easy to beat tonight
They are trying to tank and have Lauri. Like having their cake and eating it too
Guess what having the best lottery odds doesn’t guarantee you Cooper Flagg. Ask Detroit
Nice the Jazz got the 2nd pick after your huge rant hahahaha
Hoops I love u but u gotta stop we have to assess who staying an u cant blatantly tank that’s a proven fact u really think hardy can jus lose every game he has to maximize his talent an when we get talent then all eyes on him like bro u cant go 0-82 u really cant openly tank
Hopefully we get another 10-12 pick to good to get a top 3 pick yet not good enough to make the playoffs
love the singing in the rain reference "i cant stand him" lol
Nerd you are back with the same story:Lauri is the scape goat. Find something new please.
Lauri is still good to have but playing the rest of the guys to win is stupid
Nerd did you really think that a tanking team doesn't win any games?It's time to wake up to the reality.
🤣 All that ranting, and they get the 2nd pick! Don't worry… they'll lose enough games. You gotta expect they might win against the other bad teams.
Tanking sucks. Winning is all in Professional Sport.
you wielded the 2nd pick with pure tank hate. #Sithnerd
