On the season nobody can argue that we Don't Suck but that's a fairly harsh assessment of tonight's game lol

Competitive effort mostly . Several positives. But Gave up a lot of buckets at the rim in the 4th. Payton is refreshing.
Could have been a different if Len and Jackson could catch those passes. Jackson had a wide open dunk, would have been a different game if he got that one. Payton is doing this while barely knowing his teammates

We've had bad experiences handing out big contracts based on two months of great play, so I hope we approach this carefully.
We won't. We will botch it.
We can't sit back till after the draft on this one can't we? See who we draft then make a decision?

I mean... they are named the Jazz. A team name taken from a majority african american city. They should have renamed decades ago.

Yeah, The Golden Tablets or The Sacred Undies would've been a better suited team name.

They were almost renamed "Saints" or "Pioneers" after the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce held a contest in 1979 when they moved to Utah, but ownership decided to stick with Jazz because of the established tradition and wanting to avoid the misconception that they were an expansion franchise.

And there was already a Saints. ;)

So if the Suns finish with the worst record they will get no worse than the 4th pick (lottery rules change next year though). The first three picks are determined by ping pong balls and then by record of the remaining teams.

What they have going for them right now is the difficulty of their schedule from here on out. That and how poorly they've played recently. I don't see them winning more than 23-24 games (which means going 5-18 or 6-17. They are 5-18 over their last 23).

Just like after the 0/13 game, showing again the ability to quickly bounce back
Jackson hasn't had b2b bad games since mid December. And his bad shooting games are now usually tempered by good rebounding or passing.

That's my biggest concern with Booker right now. We all know what a special scorer he is, and he gets a lot of media attention. So opposing guards come into the game gunning for him. They want to prove they can keep up. He's like Amare right now, in that his scoring numbers are great, but his opponent is having a career game almost every night.

O'Neale is a pretty good player and he has been playing well for a while now - I live in this market and "get" to hear about him and Mitchell and illegal-screen-Gobert all the time. Last night was not an aberration from him.
