    Utah Jazz
    I bet the over on the Utah game tonight.
    Got involved in a poker tournament and pretty much forgot the bet.
    Checked the score with about 7 minutes left, there were 211 points, patted myself on the back (the line was 230)

    Then I dug into the box score to see who did what because I'm a geek like that.
    It was 91-90 at the end of three quarters.
    Utah opened the fourth quarter with a 20-2 run.
    Are you kidding me?

    Utah is scary good.
    That makes them 25 and 6 now, best in the NBA.
    Six weeks ago, Jan 6 Utah was 5 and 4, then went on an eleven game win streak, lost to Denver at Denver where it's next to impossible to win there, no disgrace in that loss, then went on a nine game win streak, then lost to the Clips in LA, no disgrace in that loss either.

    They're 20 and 2 in their last 22 and are clearly the best team in the NBA.
    Lakers ain't repeating without AD, and Kuzma has a bad back.

    Phoenix is 10 and 2 in their last 12 and gained no ground.

    Look at Utah's defensive metrics.
    As a tram they're second best.
    On offense only Brooklyn scores more.

    Utah is to the NBA right now what Gonzaga is to NCAA.

    Quin Snyder was really mad about the team's defense thru the first 3 qtrs. he was also pissed at the starters especially Gobert for most of the game, so he made them play the entire 4th Qtr until subbing them out with like 30 secs to go

    i think he also wanted to blow them out because of Gordon Hayward

      Yeah, they gave up 90 points through three and that rare for Utah's defense.
      Having said that Utah is scary good.

        yeah their depth is especially scary. tonight they got 62 pts from Ingles, Clarkson, and Niang with Niang going 7 for 7 on 3's. heck, even Favors made a couple baskets..

            i lean Nets too. if they continue this defense they are playing no one beats them.

            as bad as they looked on the defensive side initially after the trade is as good as they look now. it took time to gel and focus.

            they can get by too giving one star a rest and having 2 go every night.

              Are they a real threat or are they like the Hawks a few years ago?

              Would be cool to see a team win in the playoffs without a top flight player but I doubt it

                a) When were the last time the Lakers were a nine point dog?
                b) Do you dare fade the Jazz who are 21 and 2 in their last 23?
                c) If you like LA +9 do you like the money line at +420?

                Personally I think the Lakers without AD are better than average, pretty good.
                Because of LeBron they are better than average (that is without AD)
                In my opinion I think Utah does win by double digits tonight.
                I'm not overly confident of this so I'm either going to bet Utah as a lean for a tiny 20 dollars, or just layoff.
                ESPN has the game at 10pm, you know I'll watch this one.
                Utah is just that damn good.

                    Good questions. Jazz a bit too square for me to consider them. Lakers or nothing.

                        i have to put a small amount on the lakers. lebron getting that many is just something i can't turn down. if the jazz win, they win.

                          I lean Lakers. Going to take a herculean effort from James, and they'll need THT to have a strong showing off the bench - he's played well on TV - but I think they cover.

                            Too many stats?
                            I just mentioned they are 21-2 in their last 23
                            Few days ago is when I presented all those stats.

                            Get laid?
                            Since I’ve been married I only get out once a week.
                            That’s why I have time for all these stats.
