POSTCAST – Utah Jazz dominate the Washington Wizards in the paint to end 3 game losing streak

Utah Jazz and their three-game losing streak with a inside job which isn’t that uncommon in the nation’s capital oh but bum we’re talking about it coming up on postcast you are locked on Jazz your daily podcast on the Utah Jazz part of the locked on podcast Network your team every Day Utah Jazz dominate the paint tonight on their way to a 123 108 win over the Washington Wizards the Wizards jumped early under new interim coach Brian Keefe to a 13 to four start but then the Jazz answered on a 30 to8 run to gain control of the game and never relented

They trailed by seven at the end of 13629 but took a eight-point lead at the half stretched it out to 20 by the end to three and cruised to a never in doubt 10 123 108 win John Collins Leading The Way with 22 points 16 rebounds David

Lock along with Ron boon with you here on postcast tonight and Ron the Wizards came in they they don’t do a lot well they they do about one thing well which is they get out in transition they’re the second best team in the league in transition seventh most common they do

Some things really really badly like there’s 30 teams in the NBA and they rank 30th in offensive rebounding and they rank 30th in defensive rebounding and they don’t have much they actually deny threes but don’t deny the rim and the Jazz took full-fledged advantage of

It if you looked at this one yeah they ended up with five offensive rebounds the Jazz ended up with the normal 13 to 16 offensive rebounds that they that they a average a game and so L Collins points anyway came up off some maybe some offensive rebounds but this team

Seven offensive rebounds for John Collins John Collins yes and um but this team is is in you just don’t know what to say I mean there’s the strength of this team as you said is it’s in transition but you put them in half court I what do you

See I mean you don’t see they’re horrendous 20 they’re seven and 37 there’s five their coach today because they’re not competitive enough I mean here’s the deal they have one player on their rosters in the top 100 players in the NBA and that’s Kyle kman and he

Doesn’t look very good he’s not like I like I’m a Kyle kma fan but the player we watch tonight’s not like that’s not somebody now I don’t know what he’s supposed to do on this roster like he so maybe it’s not his fault but the player we watch tonight’s not like the player

Who could be a helpful player to an NBA team to win in like playoff series he could be that if he can go do what Aaron Gordon does in Denver but he’s not playing that style right now like is he ready to go be the fourth best player on

A team that’s what he would fourth or fifth that’s probably what he needs to be on a really good team from a jazz standpoint this had to feel good they they got run by and then they got by New Orleans and they got run by Washington early Washington was averaging 2.3

Points in transition in the first quarter and and then the final the Jazz tightened it up and stopped allowing the transition tonight yeah and and you know both teams end up having a very good first quarter but the Jazz exposed there late in the first quarter to to win that

Quarter 36 to to 20 to 29 but I was looking at the field goal percentage of that and how they scored uh Washington very early getting to the basket in transition the Jazz uh was winning the half court battle uh and and the half court battle end up winning uh for the

Rest of the ball game and then that was a jazz I one of the guys who probably will not get a star but I want to highlight it the one of if you watch the stat line you’re not going to think he was great tonight in any way shape or

Form because he one of six and Keon is still struggling with shots but he did have seven assists I I thought Keon just looked he play and clearly will hardy did too because he gave him 31 minutes of action tonight I thought he just looked way more aggressive and maybe it

Was less good opponent so they’re not you know like hey Fred Van vet and Dylan Brooks are getting into you and can knock you off your game and and we’ve played some teams that are pretty aggressive but I thought keante looked far better tonight than he had in the

Last three and he’s working through the rookie wall but tonight there was an aggressiveness and a pop to the way he was playing sometimes you need to play a golf course that uh sometimes you need Glendale instead of Glenn wild get you back on on your on your game and and I

And this is probably one of those games for him where you can attack and where you can run the basketball team and uh make some good plays and maybe that’ll carry over to the next basketball game now as mentioned he didn’t shoot the basketball very well but he was very

Much under control uh ended up with with seven assists 34 assists for the jazz on 50 field goals we’re kind of loving the 30 assist number it is somewhat of a magic number it’s a high number there is so much scoring in the league it’s a little less impressive than it once was

But frankly I think the Jazz uh in the last six seven games are averaging over 30 assists and are one or two in the league so they’re High um that this matched the ball movement tonight eight assists for Jordan Clarkson who leads the team assists seven assists for Keon

But maybe most impressively five assists for Lowry Markin yeah which looks awfully awfully good now I I know I’ve said this many many times back in the day yes if he had 25 assists in the ball game you better win it you know right you were also playing about 20 less

Possessions might not so now it’s up to 28 to 30 assists about about you know something like that what are you seeing in Lowry’s passing because he is he is got now I think this what I said it six game this year with five assists or more

He didn’t have that the last two seasons combined prior to that uh he only had five G season five games with f for more assists I think this six this year what are you seeing from Lowry in his ability to get off the ball to create for his

Teammates you got to be a willing passer in order to get assists and if you’re if if you’re thinking more offense then you know then you’re not going to get those assists now he doesn’t um think offense all the time now because and he he he’s getting loose and and he’s but the

Offense dictates a lot of times opportunities to get those assists uh if you run good routes uh if you if you slip screens and all of those kind of things then you can get you know you can get those assists so maybe it’s the offense that’s dictating and putting

Them in a position where he can get those assists uh Jazz held the P the Wizards to seven of 30 from three just 23% so that was a huge swing in this game the Jazz were 13 of 31 which is not a big number for them they like to get

Up probably 40 threes in the night but they were so good in the paint that they did not take as many threes they did not go to the line a bunch either did the Jaz but they had a massive Edge both on the boards and in the three-point range

Um to be able to pull this one off Kelly alen had a big night 19 points eight of 11 Walker kler struggled so Kelly played some more minutes tonight went 20 had 21 minutes Walker got in foul trouble lost his as I said on the broadcast looked

Like he lost his proprioception for the evening um had five fouls and 15 15 minutes um Colin only played 16 minutes tonight Ron I didn’t realize that until I’m just looking at the box score right now but that’s because Jordan and Keon really had it going and will wrote him

Yeah and will have said that many many times just because you start the ball game doesn’t mean you’re GNA finish and and we saw it tonight that uh dun only played 16 minut the same amount of minutes as U as Colin seon but all right finish so this is the a Feelgood game

This is your Glendale what does it do to play Glendale like what does this do for this group to have a game against a team that’s seven and 37 now and is it getting outscored by 10 points a game and is you know really doesn’t put up any resistance at all so

You get to do what you want to do I I don’t think it’s it’s necessar the offense the defense is what killed them against U New Orleans and Shing up the the defense you know makes you feel good offense is going to be there I don’t

Think there’s a team in the league the way the jzz are playing the S of player that they’re using using can stop the JZ from scoring uh but the defense sometimes get you in trouble you know they’re doing a free throw shooting contest here after the game and they’re allowing people to

Walk up to the rim and shoot layups instead it seems really appropriate okay sorry Che shot but kind of funny I made you laugh I mean really I made you laugh that’s a cheap shot but I made you laugh yeah like where’s the okay like the cheap shot

Like I mean you laugh It’s Entertainment all right uh let’s start up here tonight it’s I think it’s totally easy tonight oh really you think it’s totally easy I think there’s three legit candidates tonight I think John Collins oh no question he could actually eat both stars because he ate all the glass

Tonight 22 points plus John Collins who’s been the worst plus minus player for the Jazz this year was plus 22 plus 22 so that’s nice he had seven rebounds he was nine seven offensive nine defensive rebounds 22 points 11 of 15 shooting Kelly oen how come you don’t like my choice no I

Don’t I mean he was eight of 11 he had 19 points he was plus 13 he put He had two assists I love Kelly linck he’s like my favorite dude on the team um I’m just I’m wondering why it’s a no-brainer so you’re just bored of the

Guy who gets 29 Points seven rebounds five assists two steals like you’re just bored of that the guy who busted a career high six threes tonight you’re just bored of that I look at sometimes when when guys turn things around in a quarter or something like that the second quarter there

Was I’m sorry I’m sorry how many did Lowry have in the first quarter tonight he had 13 oh that’s not enough for you the Jazz were only up six points yeah right they were down by they were down by nine to start the quarter no they were down 13 to four and

Then Larry went nuts and scored yeah I’m sorry okay no I mean right I got it that’s fine so Kelly oen scores 19 points in the last three quarters and what did L scored 29 but he didn’t what the last three quarters I said he didn’t

Even score in I’m sorry he scored 16 instead of 19 Kelly oen had 19 he scored 16 points in the last two quarters I win so who who who are your stars who did you pick the best player on the floor tonight was John Collins and the

Second best player on the floor tonight was Larry Markin yeah killing L we win three more games on this trip we have to survive I even brought him cupcakes today I went to the cupcake store and bought him cupcakes what is this and maybe someone

Can help me maybe our why is DC the cupcake capital of America that’s or why why does Georgetown have three massive cupcake stores with five blocks each because there’s college students nearby I guess yeah see you have a great night we love you bye we now send you
