    So, I guess he's saying the Lakers are a lock to beat the Jazz and won't rest any players. Got it

    btw, Spurs have nothing to play for and Wemby will most likely be out. Denver knows they can beat the Wolves or Rockets in the first round and are only looking at playing either the Spurs or Thunder in the 2nd. I bet they like their chances better with the Spurs.

    Ime Dumbdoka strikes again. I legit think even Doc Rivers is a better coach than him.

    Okogie 2 pts

    Eason 0 pts

    Yet these 2 still played 40 mins combined. Literally wasted career nights from KD, Sengun and Amen.

    Even their Gleaguers I doubt would punt this game in front of their own fans......

    It would be epic though.

    Denver @sas is the real game here, I can't predict which one wins, they are probably messing with the injury report right now......

    Luka probably coming back in Game 3 or Game 4 was already bad news.

    Luka has already gained 2 million pounds. coming back on a trash hamstring would have been free eats

    Given Houston's luck, lol fat Luka goes for 40 the rest of the series, and re-injures his injury after the Rockets are on the brink of elimination.

    Houston re-discovers their Defense after the Series. Ime getting defensive again.

    Lakers go up 2-1 then Luka comes back to win the next 2.

    Final day will be amusing to watch

    Will the Nuggets prioritize the easier first or second round matchup.

    Likewise the Spurs could avoid OKC and Denver until the conference finals if they win the last game.

    How badly do the Lakers want to play us instead of the Wolves.

    Meanwhile we're a middling pile of mediocrity hoping the basketball gods take pity on us and give us a gift first round matchup so we can put off our embarrassment for a round.

    I thought we were doing well, but then Ime reverted back to reducing Reed's role in favor or more Okogie/Tari/Tate. He's like an addict who can't quit.

    Even when Reed is having an off night, he still scores more than those 3 guys combined plus he creates more space for the other players to operate. And after a performance like tonight, it's hard to believe that the Okogie/Tari/Tate's contributions on defense outweigh what Reed brings on offense. And above all else, Reed has room to grow whereas those guys are all finished products.

    The real contenders have deep benches, but we've brought in one dimensional guys like Okogie, Tate, and DFS while also wasting space on Jeff Green. People say that Stone builds the roster, but it's clear from his rotations which guys Ime values.

    Don’t worry Sengun is still giving up baskets an hour after the game ended.

    In the end, I really wonder if we can beat a crippled Lakers team. But even if we do, it's basically meaningless. It's the worst of both worlds.

    Doc Rivers, as I like to remind everyone, has the official label from the league as a top 15 coach of all time.

    Renewed hope that the Jazz squad can play ball.
