The Utah Jazz have 99 problems but Lauri Markkanen isn’t one. In his latest game he put up monster numbers but the players around him let him down. Jordan Clarkson has been horrendous this season, THT has been so bad, and Collin Sexton can’t be trusted with the ball, his teammates don’t even pass to him. Things are very, very bad right now.

Keyonte is definitely showing signs to be a starter of the future but I fear throwing him into the wolves at this point.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Jazz this bad.
Sexton is better as a sixth man spark off the bench.
Wish we had traded Clarkson because his value is going down every day.
THT is an All Star for two minutes, then a bad G-League player for ten.
Keyonte should actually run some plays. Right now, he has shackles on.
If coaching changes are not made, you might as well stick a fork in 'em. EDIT: I don't mean fire the coach – I'm talking about adjustments to strategy.
Sexton is due nearly 19 million for the next 2 seasons after this. Yikes!! THT is at least an expiring, but he’s playing for his next contract. Clarkson is laser focused on scoring not a passer at all. Collins needs to do more than score 14 points for $25 million a season. Play THT and George. Put Clarkson as 6th man when Lauri sits. Sexton, try to trade him.
John collins has proved his worth to start over Hendricks. Clarkson,sexton and tucker have not proved they deserve to start over keyonte in fact it’s the opposite
We just gotta let Keyonte start. He’s a lot calmer with the ball. He doesn’t attack the basket unless he sees an opening. It’s not like tht, Clarkson and sexton who attack even when 3 people are on them 😒
You can tell keyonte wants to play with the ball. He was a leader at Baylor and he was a great point guard on the floor. I’m tired of hearing the Jazz want him to be the main guard for the future when will hardy isn’t letting him start.
Trade those 3 selfish players. They seem like they wanna show off their skills rather than help Lauri out
Trade Olynk n bring in Taylor Hendricks or Brice. Younger and we can learn and progress this season
This is unwatchable to watch. Conley feed Kessler and Lauri
These guards don’t do that
If you defend you might lose but if you don't you have already lost. Defense is on the coaches. When they played zone they were very bad. The team looks disconnected. A lot of dumb plays by the guards, the ball sticks on them and this breaks positive momentum and leads to easy transition baskets. We cannot control the pace and slow the game down. I would give Clarkson's starting minutes to Dunn and i would tell him this for his confidence. Clarkson and Sexton are ten minute players providing the play well. Koyonte needs time and he should get it. End of the story the coaches have under-performed in all aspects.
Its just embarrassing now to even watch.
Will Hardy is too young (Mentally) to be a head coach. He doest have the balls to be the leader and make hard decisions. He's afraid to hurt the vets feelings.
Somebody please end my suffering
Will Hardy will be considered the best coach when the players talent matchs his.
I believe JC is caliber player it's just he is not a pure point guard, better to put him to what he do best score… He could still provide good passes when players totally clog him. He is better of the bench rather than a first five…. They need someone right as a type of a Jason Kidd or Tony Parker kind of a player who can make plays.
When ur best player markannen ….
You can say this player or that player but Will Hardy has been the biggest problem with the team. He needs to learn situational basketball. He matchup olynyk up with drummond in the 2nd quarter and we ofc got smashed and lost all momentum. Had olynyk as the rim protector on Paolos game winner too. That was coming off a timeout. Just horrid
Sorry but I'm still not buying that the owner is holding a gun to Hardy's head to play JC. Only a weak coach would agree to that anyway
Theres no guarantee keyonte is going to be a stud. He could just be a bad shot taker his whole career. The worst thing to do is make him not earn the starting spot with merit
Tht is literally trying to making up for clarksons inability to do anything. Hes been good on non bail out set 3s which has been a great sign and by far the best defender of the group of 4 main guys
Tht was stuck in the lebron system. So last year was kind of like a rookie year in a conventional nba building
Unreal that all our front court players had a good game and yet we lose by 20
Pretty sure Hardy is not the problem. I said it last year already they need point guard and was amazed they didn't do nothing about it.
