Utah Jazz lose badly against the Atlanta Hawks

Do your research guys all right let’s talk about this loss what a just absolutely horrible terrible no good very bad loss for the Utah Jazz they needed this win really badly this in a lot of ways would have secured uh well I don’t know if secured
But it would have really put the Jazz in a driver’s seat towards conveying the that pick to Oklahoma City which anyone who watches this no show knows I am very Pro that now I know there’s a contingent of jazz fans out there that just want
The pick you know they want the top 10 pick in this draft and that may be where we’re going so it may be doing lots of research on late first round and and early first round for this channel but man I’m telling you I’m so bummed right
Now ah it hurts a lot in my chest interestingly enough oh I got to make me small I’m not even on my game tonight I’m not on anything tonight I need to get on ambient or something uh but anyways Utah still sits at 11 so yay
Three for seven in their last 10 ah it hurts so much Toronto’s winning since getting Kelly oin so maybe Kelly oin really was making a big difference I don’t know uh he wasn’t helping defensively that’s for sure but Utah is now three and seven they’ve lost 3 and seven their last
10 ah such a bummer guys I really wanted this win for the Jabs interestingly enough there’s still a half game up on the um Atlanta Hawks who are now two have won two in a row since trading Trey young it’s just Jazz’s luck the Jazz’s luck to get the Atlanta Hawks after they
Trade Trey young and they actually get better you know uh Dre technically we can still still get flag if we suck two years in AOW in a row lol just going to have to bite the bullet in 2026 all right let’s talk about it it’s where the Jazz are
Going oh look I was looking at Sun I was looking at new glasses the ads work I’m so bummed right now guys I don’t even ah this one hurts this felt like a playoff loss to me like a playoff elimination loss is what it felt like so in reality this doesn’t change what
The Jazz are doing next year but it does have influence on 2026 so this it I mean this also influenced this year you know I mean let’s just talk about it I have been talking all year all year that I think the Jazz are going to T Capture
The Flag all signs pointed to it I wrote about it I gave it to the members only video you can watch the member if you want to join the channel and watch that video go ahead and watch it we got to do a lot of prey to convey stoker thank you
For the $2 I really appreciate it shaking fist at Quinn dang you Quinn dang you all you bring is pain all you bring is suffering and disappointment to me whether you’re coaching my team or coaching against it you bring me nothing but suffering ah thank you Brad I really
Appreciate it but anyways you can go and watch the video I talked about it literally every single sign has pointed to the jazzo young to building through the draft getting distressed assets and either trading those assets or building them for the future and I’m telling you I mean it’s
One of those times where I you know I’m I guess I can just Pat my own back but I’ve been talking about this all year all signs point to it it’s what they’re going to do uh so just you know what it’s time for me to just accept it you know I’m
Still going to hopefully I still would like them to convey this pick I really would like to I mean I know this mock draft look who do the Jazz get at number if they get to 10 Reed Shepard I mean he’s a pretty good defensive player but N I don’t
Know uh I I will say look Stefan castle at 12 I love his physical kind of makeup he’s 19 he’s 66 he’s strong athletic 1.2 steals per game why does Kyle filipowski get green and Castle gets red I guess cuz Reed Shepard steals the ball like
Crazy he is a good um little Defender but he’s just not very big uh but anyways um Utah now sits at 11 still and they do have a really difficult schedule this was supposed to be one of the ones you win and the next two games are on the road I dirty Jazz
Yeah W they’ve got um Orlando next Orlando’s pretty good I mean they’re a good defensive team um so that’s no slouch and they got Pao banero if you’ve got your prize picks bet the over on Paulo I tell you that much bet the O although you know what I
Tell you what we do have Taylor Hendricks doing really well so that’s one to to watch because they may put Taylor Hendricks on banero so watch for someone like Cole Anthony to have a big night they always do uh but Utah has a terrible defense
Really the one you want to do on the on the opposing team against the jazz is the over on on threes with their scorers if there’s an overp pick on threes against the Jazz they will hit them you know they just do so uh let’s see but anyways uh so I
Guess let’s just talk about the perspective of this it does change this year obviously if they’re in the bottom 10 they get a pick and so you know maybe there’s someone they like do they like one of these guys at this point I mean I really like Alexander SAR I mean I still
Think there’s some question marks with him he’s one of those guys I could see him being really awesome and then I could see him also being just a huge disappointment like he’s got a little bit of a hitch in his shot maybe he never figures it out and he you know
Maybe he doesn’t uh but he also has a chance to be really special and so that’s where your scouting comes in and the Jazz have to bring guys into camp and watch them Zachary Riser he got good size can absolutely shoot the shoot the threads off the basketball he’s great um
And there there’s some potential defensively there and he’s only 18 I get a little worried about these young young young prospects like this with body you know who are like a lot of potential and they have length and size but the the thing that’s very uh very promising
About him is just he’s shooting the lights out he’s shooting like 46% from three so what’s up with um France by the way both of these guys are French so number one pick last year is obviously Victor wanyama this year it’s going to be Alexander SAR also French
Zachary Riser also French and it’s going to be one and two that’s kind of crazy top two picks two years in a row that’s GNA be wild and I think Alexander SAR will go number one because he does have great defensive potential he really does and he you know what you know what
I like about him too he’s got nasty like he’s got like I’m going to dunk on you or I’m going to block the shot and then I’m going to stare you down and I’m going to step over you like Iverson over tyo he’s got that kind of nasty to him
Which I like which honestly you know could you give a little of that to Walker Kessler please although he had a few moments tonight but so anyways Utah may be getting that top 10 pick this year but then that’s what brings the scary stuff the scaries because next year it’s top 10 protected
As well and I think for pretty darn sure the Jazz are going to be going into the top 10 next year just expect it it’s going to happen guys I’m just I’m warning you now they are going to be bottom 10 next year they’re going to trade Jordan Clarkson they’re going to
Trade Colin seon they might trade Walker Kessler based off of what we’re seeing and the development and kind of the style of play that they like to do and then I tell you what I mean I know some of the people in the comments are like stop trading the team stop trading
Everyone I’m telling you I based off of what we’ve seen seen I don’t know I think they I think it’s like 75% chance they sign marinin and I think there’s a 25% chance with other teams having huge assets they look at possibly making a move uh especially after nights like
Tonight where it’s just like man where are you Lowry marinan you’re our only hope uh so anyways but that’s the thing is next year I think they will be bad but the following year this is where I it’s like bad in my opinion because you know you give two years of development
To konay George you give two years of development to Taylor Hendricks all of a sudden they’re going to be playing pretty well you know they’ll have their sophomore slump next year yada yada year three is when you might see them really take off and they know the offense and
Things like that they’ve had a lot of experience and that’s when things start to go really you know if they’re good players and so you know and then the thing is is in 2026 It’s Not Top 10 protected it’s top eight and that’s tough man you you get
Into the gambling ring you get into like the prize picks and stuff those numbers matter there’s a big difference between being top eight and top 10 just ask the Jazz last year when they tried to drop in the standings they couldn’t get lower than nine I mean they should have if
They’d had you know they could have if they’d have rested Markin in every they played Markin in three of those last 10 games and I think they won like one or two of those you know so they could have and they didn’t so it’s hard to do it’s
Hard to it’s not as hard to be in top the bottom 10 as it is to be bottom eight it’s just hard to be one of the eight worst teams in the league it really is if you have talent and with a coach like the Jazz have with um Will
Hardy and how he gets the most out of these guys I know defensively things aren’t good right now but it’s going to get better uh so you know and I they they may trade Collins too so next year might be really interesting I I I think all bets are off this off
Season it’s you know Taylor Hendrick and keontay George to me are like the only 100% going to be on the Jazz unless like something crazy happens where Luca donic says I want out and then you know the Jazz probably look at some sort of trade but otherwise I think those are the only
Ones and I think Lowry is the most likely third to stay on the team next year uh but outside and then you go from there and it just is a huge drop off I mean I guess Walker Kessler is number four least likely to be traded and then
After that oh Chris Dunn too five Chris Dunn five ah Chris Dunn might be four Walker five I don’t know and then after that it’s kind of like who knows who knows Bryce sensah probably stays obviously so anyways maybe I should make a video like that that’s a pretty good
Video that’s probably pretty good SLC dunk article to be honest um all right let’s go through this a little bit might not be quite as long because I am heartbroken to the max I wanted this win so badly uh Lowry Markin in 26 minutes he played
Terrible and you know I know I’m trying you guys here’s the thing no one wants L marinin to play better than I do no one does I want L Markin to be playing All-Star level right now because I want to convey the pick to Oklahoma City you
Know I had someone say the hate from J you know you’re hating on Larry Markin and it’s getting too much or people in the comments saying like why do you hate on Larry Markin because he’s playing like this and I need him to not play
Like this I need him to play at an All-Star level and he’s not the last 15 games or so have not been good and we need him to be good we do I want to convey the pick uh 26 minutes 4 for 13 he was a minus 23 three he was the worst
Plus minus of the uh entire team I you know I I think we’ve talked about this marinan is also giving his kind of audition for getting a big-time contract and being a core part of the future I mean there were people that were like making fun of me on Twitter like and
Believe me I saved the tweets I saved a lot of them and I got to I should have saved them more but I said you know once they make some of these moves if they go young with Markin and they can 100% get a top 10 pick probably top five and
Tonight proves it I mean come on it proves it and so uh I think there’s that’s in that way I think they can sign L Markin and honestly you’ve got to give your money to somebody Danny Ang is not going to not sign him um just because he
Hasn’t been playing well to the end the season and who knows maybe he goes on a hot streak and things turn around the end of the year the Jazz I mean not conveying the pick is not set in stone they’re still after just such a crappy performance tonight they’re still at 11
You know they’re only a half game back at Chicago who lost tonight you know so uh it’s not the end but this was a bad one this was a bad one and this was just probably one of markkanen’s worst games as a jazz man uh just the need to win
And just the performance the shooting is just not there it’s just been really rough the last 15 games he had a great game against the Spurs and then it’s back to these subpar performances and I’m not hating on him we’re just being honest it’s not been good and so if you
Want to convey this pick you need lry Markin to play well he’s not playing very well and there’s some sign I mean there’s a few things that he has is showing that he just can’t quite do he cannot take the ball and really just
Take over a game he just can’t do it it really is 100% dependent on other players on the team getting him the ball and you know Tony Jones quote tweeted me on Twitter like because I was frustrated I was like I need marinan to stop having these starts to these games where he’s
Not impacting the game at all because honestly as bad as his offense have been has been his defense has been just as bad it’s not been very good and markkanen’s value is him being just that hyper efficient sniper from three but when you’re going for six like this and
You’re not contributing from two you know it’s rough because his defense is about average at best and they’re nights where it’s not very good uh he’s not as quick side to side it’s why I think his best spot is usually at the four which brings up some you know interesting
Questions for the Jazz longterm with Taylor Hendricks if he keeps developing and if Taylor Hendricks turns into something special next year things get kind of interesting because I don’t think long term Larry Markin is at his best at the small Fort yes he can do it
Yes he can do it but then I don’t want to hear people complain about defensive issues you know because he’s not that he’s not I mean he’s not bad but he’s not great either so who knows and I like I said I’m not trying not to be hard on
Him I’m trying to be very fair but if he’s not getting if he’s not knocking down these open threes it gets really rough for this Jazz team real fast and that’s part of what happened tonight uh Taylor Hendricks I’m really excited about it I tell you what man look at
That two for four from three I talked about this once that three starts falling get ready for him to start being a real impact player the Jazz get destroyed tonight and he only was a minus n that’s no that that’s when you know it’s a bad loss when you’re happy
About a minus n in a game the Jazz lost by 27 he was minus 9 uh the Jazz have something here in Taylor Hendricks they really do it’s really nice to see now he’s got to develop he’s got to get better he’s got to get a better D handle you know he’s
Got to be a little more his footwork has to improve we’ve seen the traving and things like that but man is he getting better by the night and so um let’s see John Collins got to return to Atlanta and it’s too bad that he just didn’t really play very well two
For eight from the field 0 for three it felt like the Hawks kind of knew how to guard him um and you know have experience knowing you know what to do and he just did play particularly well uh 0 for three from three no one on the Jazz could really shoot it well
Tonight besides Colin seon I guess Keon shot it well Taylor Hendricks the young guys shot it well and then Bryce sensah so all the young guys shot it well I know that doesn’t mean they uh didn’t play well and by the way the big story of this one too was
The turnovers now giving five turnovers to John Collins is kind of crazy because he did not cause these colins ston had three but he should have been attributed with four or five that’s why sometimes when they Mark these turnovers I’m like who does this who decides you know this
I was thinking about it um it reminds me of how when Rudy goar would Bobble the ball and lose it or something and it would be a turnover to like Mike Conley or Donovan Mitchell or whoever passed it to him and I think that was legit part
Of why some of the players got tired of passing it because he’d Bobble the ball and then on Twitter you’d have Jazz fans screaming pass him the ball get in the ball he’s wide open well then he’d Bobble it and lose it and the player who passes to him gets the turnover and
Believe me the players watch that they know it they know it and so I don’t know but five turnovers for John Collins is bad and the Jazz overall just turned the ball over way too much 177 times but there was like seven in the first quarter uh credit to the Jazz that they
Turn it around in the second but they just couldn’t get stops and then it was garbage time for most of the second half so doesn’t really matter Colin sexon was driving me absolutely Bonkers in the first quarter somehow manages to be efficient for the
Night 29 minutes 8 for 16 3 for six from three This Is The Stuff where it’s a little deceiving because he was just sleepwalking in that first 10 minutes of the game it was like are you awake Colin I mean come on man uh 22 points I mean
He has improved and so every player deserves a little bit of a you know a mulligan here and there 22 points six steals was just pretty impressive but I think these numbers are a little deceiving this game was lost in the first quarter when the Jazz just
Could not score and just looked really bad uh Keon had a bad shooting tonight but it is bad shooting night at least from two tonight honestly it felt like that wom Yama game really kind of got in his head a little bit but he does go
Four for n from three which is nice to see with six assists so good to see from Keon who’s just kind of developing and learning 14 points so obviously you want to see that get better one thing that’ll be fun and interesting about next season even when
The Jazz are losing it’s going to be a lot of looking at the Jazz young players and seeing the development and getting kind of enjoyment out of that is watching key get some signature moves that’s one thing that each NBA player especially the stars have to do you have
To kind of find your spots I mean Devin Booker has made a career now of getting to that corner of the of the paint and just having that little mid-range pullup that thing is a layup for him and Keon’s got to find shots like that what’s his
Shot you know uh that same shot that Booker has it seems like he got help from Chris Paul who did the same thing and I think Keon can just figure some of that stuff out he’s just got to learn some control but I think one of
The things that’s going to help him out is this off season I do think Jordan and Colin are probably going to get moved and you’ve got to get the ball in his hands to just develop you know and then Bryce Sensai I mean I wonder if Bryce can be that
Number two can he play shooting guard it is interesting to think about the question for that is defense because this Jazz team needs more defensive talent and Sensa can absolutely shoot the threads off but can he defend you know so that’s going to be interesting to see uh you guys mentioned it before
The other you know it was marinan had a bad night and Jordan Clarkson as well Jordan clarkon was terrible tonight and I know he ends up with eight assists this is what’s crazy is he’s had these bad nights and then he’ll have these big assist numbers he had the same thing
Where he shot a low percentage like this the other day and he had like 10 assists and you know the assists is great that’s great the two for 10 is just brutal and then another night where you can’t hit a three 0 for three between Jordan Clarkson and lar Markin
And they go 0 for nine from three tonight the fact the Jazz got even relatively close in this was pretty impressive Gabriel bodley sorry for not mentioning member for 11 months you’re freaking awesome Gabriel Lowry is showing things that are not great no and
I agree I mean yes he is a great shooter great off ball player it is so I mean one of the things that’s a little tough is that it is so dependent on other players you know it is so incredibly dependent on everyone else to set him up
It’s it reminds me of Rudy goar a little bit it’s just like the it’s just different like Rudy goar everyone’s like get him the ball why aren’t we getting Rudy goar the ball inside more he’s wide open now the same thing with Larry Markin it’s like why aren’t we running
More plays for lar Markin run more plays get him the ball come on he’s your best player get him the ball well they got him the ball they got him the ball and that’s what happened he’s got to be better he’s got to be a dominant
Shooter he has to be this is the big boys now you know he’s not a he’s not a rookie in Chicago anymore more he is not a Reclamation project in in Cleveland and you know he had his breakout year last year where he’s most most improved player now you have the hardest thing
This is the hardest thing to do in the NBA in the league going from good to great it’s the hardest thing to do and not a lot of players are able to do it I think Lowry can definitely get there I think he can be Klay Thompson um but man
He’s got to show more signs cuz Klay is getting the pull-up three he’s not hitting pull-up threes at a high rate that’s a that’s a that’s a thing it matters and he’s shooting I I hope he’s not sub 40 from catch and shoot I’m I think between I think between last night
And tonight um probably fine but he needs to be a sniper he needs to absolutely be just a guy that makes the other team just terrified to leave open and if they do leave him open he’s got to knock it down you’ve got to knock it
Down that is just it’s just the way it goes it doesn’t get any easier the greats are the ones that can do it no matter what you know they find a way they find a way to get open they find a way to get that ball they find a way to
Get to their spots what are your spots Markin get to them get that ball demand it get those shots you know you can knock down you know KD goes in that wing and he gets that ball and he has that just kind of mid-range game and he’s
Just lethal with it you know you can just look at each player and you can just kind of figure out this is their game this is what they do uh LeBron when he was in his prime and he still kind of can do it if he finds
Even an inch of Lane he is getting to that basket and he is going to cram it on you and if he and if you somehow stop him he has that surgical Vision where he is finding the open man you know Mark and’s got to kind of figure those things
Out and so it’s really tough to go from good to great it’s really tough and we’re finding out if he can do that this offseason he might just be really good and that’s fine uh and that might be you know enough to help the Jazz get a a top
Five pick next year I really freaking want it I really want it in fact I want to go to gavone and I’m going to bring this up something he tweeted they already have let’s see here we go they already have um they already have the Jazz predicted at 10 next year
And that’s with the Jazz not even making any move they have the Jazz at 10 uh let’s see here obviously Cooper Flags number one ace Bailey 2 Common I was looking at this guy he is 7 foot6 uh Jalil bethia might be the best scorer he
Looks I mean this draft is great Hugo Gonzalez is just I mean a sniper and he’s 6 foot6 in Spain uh you’ve got Dylan Harper son of Ron Harper that’s him right here he and uh I think Ace Bailey are going to Rutter so a lot of people watching
Rutger’s uh Rutger’s basketball next year I can tell you that I haven’t looked up VJ I haven’t looked up Trey Johnson or eigor uh I did look up Drake pal he is 6 fo8 he is an absolute head to the rim athlete and he looks like he
Can shoot it I mean I tell you what if you can get that guy at 10 tells you what this draft can do you get lucky and you get Cooper flag or Ace Bailey Cooper flag is going to be a transformational Defender he really is he’s not going to
Be wanyama level but he is going to be awesome awesome and I tell you what the idea of like Cooper flag next to Taylor Hendricks is pretty exciting you know but we got to capture the flag to do that um um let’s see Jordan Clarkson we
All right Chris Dunn uh 15 minutes for Chris Dunn did not really impact the game much three assists and one for five from the field not a great Chris Dunn game um not a lot to say there you know the defense wasn’t quite good enough tonight no one on the Jazz really played
All that well to be honest it was just a bad game uh Walker Kessler played 29 I actually thought he played pretty well tonight 14 points uh 12 rebounds this is what makes me happy this right here please and actually there was a couple times on offense in the first half I got
Pretty happy because I was like oh there’s the dominant inside guy we’ve been hoping for in Walker Kessler and he showed it 12 rebounds tonight nice to see two blocks this was actually a good uh Walker Kessler game if it’s if it’s NBA 2K he got like boosted on like the
Grades you know when you’re doing that uh but anyways nice to see Walker play well uh there’s still times where I just want to see him be physically more dominant I just want to see it please Walker please be more physically dominant get some nasty it’s
Okay uh Bryce sensah not a lot to say he played 17 he did knock down those two threes um he’s looking pretty okay sorry sorry he’s looking okay to me it’s pretty nice to see I think he’s got giving you actually pretty interesting minutes and he can absolutely shootting
And if he can defend if he can really learn defend it’s going to be a big time offseason for Bryce sensah because what if he can lose 10 pounds and and gets quicker and you know things could get interesting I don’t know could get really interesting uh ton Horton Tucker came in
Garbage time there’s not a lot to say there for that so that’s kind of everything guys but I do I mean this draft this obviously this is the upcoming draft the one this year I mean gavone is already tweeting about next year that’s what tells you everything
That’s why con conveying this pick is better gavone is tweeting this out on the 26 that was yesterday and he’s already talking about 2025 we haven’t even gotten to the 2024 draft that’s how kind of underwhelming this draft is there’s just not I mean Ron Holland shot
Like 29 30% from three in the G League it was not an impressive year uh Cody Williams is the guy I really like of all the I think I’d pick him number one I really do 6 fo8 he can defend one through four brother of jayen Williams
Awesome pedigree there uh he looks like he can absolutely shoot it he looks like a great potential Wing you know is he going to be the same level as maybe Cooper flag and who knows maybe Cooper flag’s a bust but uh Cody Williams looks nice if I was picking anybody in this
Draft he’d be my first choice and then maybe Alexander SAR and then that’s when things get interesting do you go Riser um jacobe Walter is pretty nice I’ve been watching him with Baylor a little bit seems like they have Baylor on ESPN like all the time and I’m at the
Gym watching basketball and I watch I try to watch him he’s pretty interesting the the percentages aren’t um let’s see I opened a new window uh the percentages aren’t perfect look 38% from the field um 33 from three so it would be nice to see him shoot
That at a higher clip uh especially the two-point shots the two-point shot sometimes is a big deal like why aren’t you are you not getting to the rim are you not playing in transition are you not do you not have a very good touch around the rim that’s the question um
But he does look like an NBA player he does look like one um I have Maas buellis I don’t know I’m not I haven’t seen a lot I I don’t love it I mean he is 611 at shooting at small forward so I don’t know it’s going
To be an interesting draft Stefan Castle is a guy I really like I really do like him um what do they say here what’s he shooting so he shooting 40 I mean that’s the thing look he’s shooting 46% uh jacobe Walter’s shooting 38 he’s just he plays big he’s 6’6 too and he’s
A freshman I would be I would love to bet on a guy I like this he has this like nonchalant kind of body language it’s kind of weird it’s hard to describe it looks like he’s just kind of walking and then he’ll kind of explode to a play
He’s kind of an interesting player to watch I don’t know how to describe him you should go watch some tape but he looks like he’s kind of moving and waiting for the moment and then he moves it’s he’s interesting um 30% from three but the jump shot doesn’t look too bad
Um so I don’t know I like him I like the size I like the body he looks like he could be a potential really good Defender uh look at that defensive wind shares rebounding blocks I mean he’s showing all the defensive stuff and the Jazz need defensive Talent so i’
Honestly I if I’m the 10 and he’s there I’d take him CU I think he could play next to keante you know 66 at shooting guard that’s great size at that spot you know it’s the Michael Jordan size Michael Jordan 6’6 at shooting guard from North
Carolina all right guys that’s all I got tonight uh uh was just a bummer talking through it with you guys is nice thank you for being my uh personal psychiatrist you guys get me through these losses all right let’s give a shout out to our Allstar our new all star from

I know you wanted to rub Quinn’s nose in it but the fact is… we’re tanking
Why should the Jazz convey the pick??
I can’t wait for the day that Alex sarr and wembanyama team up together thru free agency 😂
If they keep losing, by choice or cuz they can't win, then they'll have to use the pick. They could work out a trade to give OKC the pick this year by giving them a late second round pick from other teams. Not sure what second picks they have.
I wasn't able to watch the game. But when I saw the final score, I immediately thought of H. Nerd thinking about losing to Quin. Shit sucks
3:10 Trae's injury, he means. Perhaps trading to the injury list for whoever takes his minutes?
Why would they get rid of a young center like Kessler ?
Nerd, have you noticed the tension between Jordan Clarkson and Keyonte George? Clarkson does not like passing to him. His body language says it all.
Couldn’t watch live for very long tonight but it was a disappointing loss
The Jazz absolutely need to bottom out for once next year to become a contender, we need THAT guy
There is a ton of size + shooting in this draft – TANKNOTE – grab another size + shooter in the top 10 and then 2 more late 1st round picks
Lauri had a bad game he is the focus on defense every night I been saying for a while he needs to work on his post game n handle n watch nowitski study him how his mid range was elite if Lauri was to ad a post hook that would be crazy
I wish we tanked last year the entire season.
I have no problem with Ainge selling, but we should have done that last year. We need to suck, because we would be a first-round playoff exit at best. Like we needed to trade Clarkson last year. We need to get that number 1 guy in the playoffs.
Seeing Wemby on Sunday, he is a beast. He put those numbers on a bad game for him. He is really good, and the rest of the team (save maybe 1 player) couldn’t solve a simple math problem without adult supervision.
Lauri isn’t that, he is number 2 or 3 at best on a contending team. Same with George.
I have been impressed with Hendricks and George, at least. And I feel Kessler can be better. So all hope isn’t lost.
Brice looks like a real baller but I disagree he needs to lose 10lbs. It's more like 25lbs
That game hurt me also. It made me really question if you can sign markkanen for a max. 30 million feels more like something you can get out of if it’s not working. It’s fine to say they have to pay someone, but if you decide Taylor is your 4 and markkanen doesn’t fit long term, can you move markkanen at 50 mil? Maybe. Maybe not.
Lauri's gonna get his near max contract (which he isn't that player), I then he will request trade. Good thing priority is bringing NHL team to SLC…
Conveying the pick this season or at all is so overrated. Jazz need superstars. They tend to come at the top of the draft. '24, '25 and '26 are all great shots at talent, so maximize each one and play the young guys.
I don’t understand the convey the pick idea. So we try and be good this year to convey the pick and then tank the next 2 cause they are better drafts. Why not just tank all three and have 3 lotto picks? If we are trying to build a team and compete, I’m all in. If we are going to tank, let’s go all in. Staying in the 8-11 purgatory range is silly. Let’s pick a path.
The Utah team that beat the thunder was a solid crew , starting 5 and bench .
Kelly O use to annoy me at times but he added a lot of depth to the team.
Need sum solid defensive.
Kelly was good at milking fouls for free throws .
Utah needs time to click and gel to be one solid unit like voltron.
That thunder game really got me excited that we might make the playoffs.
I still have faith for next year 🏆
