I feel like we are glazing over the fact that @MCONLEY10 drained this 3 right handed so casually. 🤯 be honest Mike, you’re just taking it easy on everyone.

On today's NBA Today they talked about Peterson not working out for the Jazz and @ramonashelburne shared her thoughts:
"I don't think it's as big a deal as you might think. He met with the Jazz at the combine, they had a good conversation and interview, they looked at his medicals, everybody feels okay about that. I think this is more a statement from Darryn Peterson saying, 'I want to go number one. That's my goal.'... But I think he doesn't get past the Jazz at two regardless of whether he goes there (to workout) or not... It's not a statement against the Jazz, it's more a statement that I want to go number one."

Kevin Love on his season with the Jazz and what's ahead as he hits free agency:

🗣️"I was very surprised and welcomed with open arms by everyone. I've been on record saying I've had a truly great experience here..."

"[Me and Jusuf Nurkic] would be back here in an instant."

@iwasmmueller88 @jazzmomm Something like this happened to my nephew’s computer one time and I think I had to boot from an external drive to get windows to reinstall because it had been corrupted somehow.

Jaden Ivey reportedly told the Bulls’ head of player performance on March 25 that Jesus healed his knee and he was ready to play, per @JoelXLorenzi

He underwent an MRI the next day, and Chicago shut him down for the season.

This isn’t meant to come off as a knock to CE.

I’m a Christian - and a basketball player. 90% of the NBA is openly Christian. What I find maddening in all this is Christians online twisting the story into ��Ivey got waived because he is a Christian.” That’s just a false statement and you’re pushing drama even further.

There are guys that proclaim their faith all over the NBA - it’s a shared faith. There are pre-game Chapel services in EVERY arena where guys come together to worship. There are post-game prayer communities that are visible to fans and cameras.

This isn’t an intolerance issue by the NBA. Far from it. The league wants guys to proclaim what they believe.

With that; You will be fired in ANY job where you become a workplace nightmare. If you continually disrupt the peace and happiness of your colleagues, you will be held accountable. It’s as simple as that.

And this right here, what just happened in Indiana, is why making an example of the Jazz was a short-sighted decision/slippery slope.

1) Zubac returns to action from extended time off, plays heavy 1H minutes. Looks good scoring 8 PTS (4-6 FG).

2) Nembhard drops 23 PTS (!) in the 1H in just 17 mins.

They both disappear at halftime, and dont play a single 2H second in what was a respectably close game for a majority of it.

Pacers (a team with losing incentive) lose.

Sound familiar?

The franchise comms team will likely issue an injury management explanation to avoid the eye of Secaucus Sauron/refute the imminent tanking allegations.

Is it possible both players got sore in the locker room/hurt in the first half? Sure, I guess.

The point here is that by fining the Jazz for conduct detrimental to the league, NOT (⬅️) a Player Participation Policy violation, your games are now going to be under the microscope in the event this type of starter rotation activity occurs again.

You can’t just fine one franchise and hang their reputation from a tree to scare the other citizens from replicating the same behavior.

That selective enforcement is what put you in the spotlight originally, because Jaren Jackson Jr./Lauri Markkanen ended up either getting surgery or having a legitimate hip injury keeping them out for the foreseeable future.

Nembhard/Zubac may end up experiencing something similar to JJJ/Markkanen, they may not, but the inconsistent enforcement WITHOUT knowing their personal medical records is reflective of a business that only steps in when the seat gets hot.

The Jazz ended up winning some of those games they were so highly scrutinized for.

The Pacers lost tonight.

This alone does not justify penalizing the Pacers, because Micah Potter was trying to win just as much as Brice Sensabaugh was for Utah.

Players dont tank.

If you’re not going to fine the Pacers for this tonight, then just give the Jazz governors their $500,000 back, because this hypocrisy is what’s damaging the league reputation more than the integrity of the game.

[Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba]

The Jazz knew about JJJ’s knee previously. They were going to shut him down. Jaren was adamant that he wanted to play once at home before the surgery. They set his restriction at 25 minutes. That’s one reason he didn’t play in the previous fourth quarters, per sources

[Rob Perez @WorldWideWob]

"...the Jazz removed two of the team's top players...before the beginning of the 4Q and did not return them to the game"

1) Ok so if Will Hardy sits Markkanen the entire 3Q and plays him in the 4Q instead, is that acceptable?
2) They won that Heat game!
3) They won that Heat game because Brice Sensabaugh is nails and came through with several big shots. Is he not permitted to be the focal point of an offense without the presence of 'stars' on the floor concurrently?

I have more questions now than before they addressed/penalized this.

[Mark M @iwasmmueller88]

The NBA has had literally had an illegal gambling operation broken up by the FBI this season that consisted of:

Multiple teams
Multiple players
Staff of teams
Close associates of players

And we have heard more about the Jazz tanking as a risk to the league integrity.

[Steve Luhm @sluhm]

Lots of tank talk lately but nobody ever mentions 2011-12 Golden State.

First-round pick was top-7 protected from Utah. The Warriors lost 17 of their last 20. The final minutes of the last game vs. San Antonio was the most blatant non-effort I’ve ever seen in an NBA game.

[Trevor @TrevJPort]

The only people that should be upset about what the Jazz are doing, are OKC fans and sports gambling degenerates.

[MD @mike_daddino]

What the Utah Jazz did tonight was truly disgusting and the NBA needs to step in
