Small lead at half. But Jazz are the best in the NBA in outscoring teams in the third in the NBA. Will see, N.O. Would fear them more next year.
And sorry once again for an Aussie starting an NBA thread. It shouldn't have bothered me. You are a sports fan and follow the game. That is what matters. Like your insight.
On with the 3rd. Which doesn't mean you need to root for the Jazz. Not a bandwagon fan but sports played at a high level with the three major ones in the States I will watch. The competition at that level I think most fans that really watch the game enjoy. And I know the feeling of slipping away into the break room to watch longer than I should at times. Why they put a t.v. in there I shall never know but people know the right channel.
Though with Covid, have followed more then before. Concerts, live theatre, comedy clubs. A nice balance. Not SUPERFAN. I have a life They are opening it up here soon.
Time to get my beer buzz going and the adrenaline of the game.

Man I missed most of that. Seems like we almost let that good 3q go to waste in the 4q. But good win. I would love you watch a game with you one day barns. Maybe when you eventually get over to Sydney.

One year of Covid. Things will get better. I take one massive vacation for around 25 days and then a short one to see some out of state games and cities. Americans will get 1,400 at the end of the month from the stimulus so, thinking of finally going to Europe depending on Covid restrictions. Just glad they are opening things up here in SLC soon and letting more fans into Jazz games.
That is a flight to Aussie land but goes by quick with entertainment, alcohol, and substances that are legal. I don't fuck with that as airports, wow.
On a different note is amusing to me everytime I praise my main team they fuck it up. They gave up 40 in the 3rd. Stats really don't mean a whole lot to trust and they lost the game. Life goes on.
Is just great to have the sun out and warming temps and feeling Spring around the corner. I miss nature and cities, travel. May the plague end soon.
And the Aussie stereotypes are dumb of boomerangs and kangaroos and Crocodile Dundee in the U.S. Would love to see the Opera house and go on a pub crawl and see what sporting events are going on. Sure there will be beer there.
It amused me how one Aussie said no one drinks Fosters here and they despise the Outback Steakhouse. On with the day.

Yeah Australia is certainly a long way away. It took 22 hours for me to fly to London years ago.
Haha that’s true about fosters. No one drinks it. We gave the brew to the English for them to make.
Opera house is actually really cool. Seen The National there a few years back.
Our football comps are about to start. Jump on fox sports to check out the NRL.
Back to nba though. I hope pels keep lonzo. I feel he is on the brink of putting it all together. He’s on the same timeline as Zion and BI. If they can trade Bledsoe for a better stretch 4 or any big who can shoot then I’m happy with that. Though we showed you don’t need to shoot a lot of 3s to win a game.

Little late on the All Star discussion, but I can't believe Fred VanVleet didn't get a nod for the squad. He has been great....too many good guards out there I guess.

C'mon. You can do better than that Paw Paw. They have a target on their back now not that it didn't piss me off in the second half. On with the Sixers which will lose and since I wrote that guessing they will win, how it works in my mind and world and why I don't gamble anymore. And if your 11-21 Rockets beat the Jazz as I see that is the next game after this and the break, But seriously, life is good.
Just sucks no Rockets in it. Would of loved to see that matchup in the playoffs but they both blew massive series leads. Life goes on. Looking better on my side with respect this year. Clippers lost but they could care less. When they put in their starting lineup they beat the Jazz. No Leonard. We pay for our tickets and you have to play every game is bullshit. Kerr got this and got fined I believe. Time for the all-star break almost.
And to the name that cannot be pronounced. Shit. Looking on Orbitz, a traveling site in on the web and 5,400 to fly there. Can't do it. 10k for a vacation there. No. Thought it would be around 2.5k. Maybe the dollar is weak. Enjoy the games and this Summer may the whole world not burn.

Just call me Aidz. I tried to make my user name phonetic. Kinda lame actually.
With COVID flights are going to be heaps expensive. It would be insane to travel now unless it was a must. Once the vaccine gets around and places open up flights will come down in price. Though not for Aussie dollar. We suck.
The resting players is stupid. I’m happy that Zion is off his training wheels now so he can actually play. It’s an 82 game season. If you’re hurt fair enough but fatigue management is a cop out.

Yeah. I get your point. A year of doing nothing BLAH! Am so ready for something new and interesting. Meeting different cultures from around the world is great. Have enjoyed socializing with them. And some women, lol.
Seriously though I think everyone is waiting when all the vaccines are given for those that take them and how globally the world will be.
On with the all-star break and waiting till Summer. Glad Mitchell is taking part in the 3 point contest. And it was reported that Zion might actually take part in the dunking contest.
Would make me laugh if he injured himself doing it. Think Davis of the Lakers is much more injury prone. Never got why Duke played him like they did with such limited minutes. Will see in time.
Long for the Karl Malone and Charles Barkley days. Men were men. Bad boys! Welcome to Malone and his elbow. This season, think the Jazz could still get the number one seed in the West. Would be great if Golden State gets the 8th. Surprised the Bucks got blown out at home today.
Spring is almost here and weather is warming up. Regular season is interesting to me but the playoffs with covid and no real home court advantage, I see how they are playing it.
That still makes me laugh. 40 stiches bad boys.

Must be hard when one had Westbrook and Harden. Could give a shit less about the uniforms whatever the team plays in.
Jazz choked at the end and just cliff dived in O.T. against Phillie.
Time for Spring and travel and fun. Tuning out for awhile on the NBA. Playoffs are what matters. Warm temps and time to travel.
Have all the entertainment in the world in one's apartment. Fuck a year of Covid.
At least one team is going in as a high seed in the playoffs. Are you looking at the draft options yet?

The late Rodney comes to mind and the bit about no respect. Back when anchors used to drink during the show. And somehow, it was OK. AYYYOOO! Thanks for the comments on Malone and Stockton Lebron. Makes us hate the Lakers even more.

Lillard is one of my favourite players. He will probably go down as one of the greats never to win a ring. To think the pels could have picked him in the same draft as AD. New Orleans would have been a different team in that alternate universe.

You forget players go where they want to go nowadays. The draft is a rental in todays NBA.

Sorry I need to correct myself. I thought dame was picked later but he was 6th pick. We had 1st and 10th picks that year. So know why I thought he was picked later. Just seems like those hidden gem players picked at the end of the lottery.
