    Clarksons defense on Kawhi in the last few minutes is what won us this game

  2. Brutus583

    The defense in this game was a million times better than last game

  3. Denotsyek

    I’m convinced we got some sort of money ball shit going on. Great job beating a team with a $194 million payroll

    Kept thinking this looked like a classic mitchell gobert 4th q collapse. Until it wasn’t.

  5. Certain_Strawberry77

    I’m so impressed how we lead for a large majority of this game. I was sure we would have to fight back coming in

    Jordan Clarkson actually playing good one on one defense? Wow.

    THT started off strong then vanished, except when he was trying to force it. Dunn was non-existent on offense. I think he’s trying to play more shooter than point guard. I will still say Olynyk is highly underrated. The threes, the passes, the moves, he can play any position. I’m ok with him ending the game, but it also means no Kessler on the court.

    That second half was rough. Utah spent a lot of time on offense going iso with the guards. Didn’t quite work out, and it led to a comeback for LA. When the ball movement was happening, they were scoring.

    Wow! This was definitely our best season opener. Definitely our first game of the season.

  8. HeroofBergen

    Jazz legend Russell Westbrook for the win!

    Wait…

  9. Back to the form of last year. We could use alot of work on defence but glad to see the offence back in action. Last game our offence was non-existent.

    Man props to Clarkson those last 2 possessions sealed it. That 3 was his shot but that defense on kawhi caught me off guard legit stepped up in the moment.

    Hell of a win jazz basketball is back and it feels so sweet.

    I’m ok with the expensive contract John Collins has if he plays similar to this game

    Lauri Bird, Michael Jordan Clarkson, and KD won the game in the 4th quarter

  12. StarshipFirewolf

    I loved watching Pat McAfee struggle to comprehend how intense a Game 2 Delta Center crowd can get. That was a good game. Way to recover in the last minute.

  13. Across the board better team effort compared to last game.

    About the only bad one out was Kessler. Didn’t even finish 4th. What’s up with him?

  14. lonelymagician

    John Collins is coming out of his abusive relationship with Trae and is spreading his fucking impressive wings. He’s only going to get better and he looked great tonight.

  15. thehelpfulcamel

    Okay that was fun as hell.

    It looked like a completely different team than last game.

    Clarkson and Olynyk are clutch as hell.

    Sexton’s energy was so so important in the third quarter.

    Lauri really just walked into a 35/12 game defended by Kawhi and PG.

    Keyonte and Collins are both coming along nicely.

    THE JAZZ ARE BACK BABY

  16. See what happens when the SEXMAN Energy is contagious?

    We clutch up, get the win, and get the job… DUNN

  17. JoeIngles

    No game notes from me tonight, only caught the fourth quarter but WOW what a game Lauri

  18. JC for winning the game, but Lauri overall still our best player. He was fully being stuffed with Clippers playing gluing on him.

  19. lonelymagician

    Locke is interviewing john collins about how weird it is to get a win based on Jordan Clarkson playing amazing defense.

  20. HewHewLemon

    “Mom can we have a Dame?”

    “We have a Dame at home”.

  21. Man the clippers were playing some tough defense and had some amazing offensive plays. The jazz’ ability to outrebound and play even better defense on George and kawhi is what won this game. Wowza this Lil team NEEDED a big win like this. IT’S JAZZ TIME, YOU GOTTA LOVE IT BABY!

  22. lonelymagician

    45 to 36 rebounds

    27 to 17 assists

    I love this.

  23. StarshipFirewolf

    I forgot to add in my previous comment. Young Bull is so fun to watch. I love having Collin on the team.

  24. I owe Sexton an apology. He has so much heart and energy, pretty much saved us when PG was going off in the 3rd

    Also John Collins is awesome and fits this team really well. Keyonte is a fucking gem and i hope he gets more time. Lauri is MVP

    I winced when JC took the last shot but of course he makes that 😂

  25. Feels so good not pretending we can clutch the 4th. Don’t miss that about 45.
