Keyonte George and Jordan Clarkson absolutely shined for the Utah Jazz on ESPN and a national crowd, it was the lack of talent around them that really let them down. Lauri Markkanen has some improving to do and it’s going to be tough for Utah to beat these high level teams.

Would like to see ochai get more minutes and more three point shots. George looked great again tonight.
nerd. utah play terrible defense in paint. in <10 ft shoot stats, frequency is 10th worst with 45.1%, and def efficiency 7th worst with 60.9%. so in layman terms, they allow others to often from <10ft and with bad defensive coverage. the only worse teasms in this stats are: mavs, trailblazers and hawks. wizards are equally bad :D. ie Utah loses half of its points in paint (not counting fauls made there)
i;'d love to see KG & Dunn starting as an experiment. Kris would put some defensive discipline on the court.
That was my 1st NBA game tonight – I'de prob go to every home game if I lived in SLC, so much fun… Curious no foul at the end by Ochai, that pt diff. could be a big factor, how much do we need to be the Lakers by? … Man, KD is a special talent, it felt like every shot was going in
Kelly O with 7 assists. Wish Jazz fans could finally understand how valuable he can be. Still wish Lauri woukd get more touches. Great game.
Keyonte should have started from Game 1 – but I will take it. Loved that Keyonte was announced LAST in his 1st home game starting. Trader Danny time.
Thank you for these great videos! As a finn I think Lauri loves living in Utah, cuz it reminds him of home. Plus Jazz made him what he is, the best north-european player of all time. You can trust Markkanen.
Such a fun game to watch. The Keyonte 2nd quarter was my favorite moment of the season.
Sad we didn’t get the win. But our two devils off the bench want to land us a top 5 pick.😂
KD absolutely torched Lauri tonight
You should make a video on why Dante exum never worked out, you could make videos for all the high picks that didn’t workout or even someone like Derrick favors who was awesome but never was that all star guy, could be cool ‘jazz history’ videos
There is no one who loves Keyounte George more than this man Hoops Nerd Jazz himself
Lauri would have more assists if he would get the ball more, every game i find my self shouting to the screen PASS THE FUKIN BALL TO LAURI
Great game. Shame we lost but we COMPETED. Not much negative to say to be honest!
The Jazz can hold their heads high after this performance.
It took Durants best game of the season to beat em.
Suns going down on Sunday!
Clarkson had a great game, but taking more than twice as many shots as Markkanen is ridiculous. Why can't this coach and this team figure out how to run plays for Lauri? Does no one on this team know how to set or use good screens? Force teams to switch smaller players on Lauri and let him punish them. JC is better at getting his own shot, but because of the difficulty of the shots he takes, he has to be on fire to be efficient. Flame has been on for him in recent games, but that won't last all season. We are missing Kessler and we need a better defensive scheme – LESS switching.
On a positive note, this was a fun game to watch and I'm proud of how the Jazz fought back after getting punched in the mouth early.
"Unlimited PTO" 😅😅
Coach talks about Keyonte's minutes restriction in his post-game media availability. Basically 30 max, so he can get through 82 games, is what he said.
trade sexton and THT or we riot
