Utah Jazz vs Dallas Mavericks Post Game

What is going on my live is not living what is what is this why is my thing not coming up this is why we can’t have nice things boys all right hey what’s Jackson can you see me right now let me know cuz I can’t see myself

On my end I think something’s acting up in my thing yeah the first half was definitely better than the first you can see me okay oh I’m not really sure what’s going on um on my end let me see something real quick all right cool right

Um but anyways you know I’m just going to I actually can’t see myself on my and that’s that’s the part that I was concerned about but we’re good boys um uh definitely you know a night and day performance compared to how we were last time you know still not great because we

Didn’t win um much better you know overall effort obviously Lowry was the biggest Difference Maker in this one his efficiency should be noted because it’s one of the best games he’s had since you know the whole injury bug thing started um Jordan Clarkson was mediocre um n

Never mind Mar uh T clar was cheeks that changed my mind um Johnny was kind of irritating me a little bit and that was really you know the negatives of this game uh Lowry in this one 10 of 19 from the field six of nine from the three-point line eight of eight

From the free throw line you know seven boards two assists one steal one block only one turn over 34 points LED both teams box plus minus of a negative -2 you know plus uh you know not bad not bad very solid performance for him overall in just 34

Minutes you had Taylor Hendricks in 29 minutes going three of eight from the field he was one of five from three which was not great but you know growth and that’s what we’re expecting this season um hit the one free throw that he took had six boards one assist didn’t

Have any turnovers eight points negative eight box score plus minus we saw John Collins in 30 and a half minutes go for nine of 16 from the field two of five from three one of three from the free throw line had 11 boards two assists two steals no turnovers 21

Points which was our second leading score BOS plus minus still of a negative 10 and then you had Colin seon with the worst box score plus minus of a negative 15 in his 29 minutes going eight of 15 from the four uh three of six from three

Hit the one free throw that he took had two boards six rebounds and only one turnover for a total of 20 points not bad overall honestly um we naturally ended up seeing keontay George next and his 35 minutes going you know what what was really curious was Keon George’s box score plus minus

Despite his poor numbers I’m not gonna lie he was two of 11 from the field that’s 18% he was 06 from three that’s 0% he was two of two from the free thr line he had five rebounds he had six assists two Steals and three turnovers

And for his total of six points he only had a box score plus minus of a one um really sneaky Jordan Clarkson obviously gets the most gets my most uh my my negative MVP I guess of the game 07 from the field 02 from the three-point line four

Five from the free throw line though uh four rebounds eight assists but five turnovers four total points in a box SC plus minus of a negative 11 so yeah definitely in 33 minutes a whole lot of a whole lot of nothing um was was added

To the game by him Bryce sens in 16 and a half minutes one of three from the field one of two from the three-point line you have three boards one assist two turnovers three points box score plus minus of a zero Walker Kessler similarly box score plus minus of a zero

Um in 16 and a half minutes as well four4 from the field one two from the free throw line had four rebounds and one steel no turnovers nine points and then Johnny in his 13 minutes was 04 from the field all four of them being three-pointers he had three rebounds two

Assists and uh no points so for box score plus points of a negative3 overall our field goal percentages were down um Jordan clarkon and konay George being the main culprits in this situation obviously together combining for two of 18 um which isn’t good for obvious reasons which made us shoot 42.5% from

The field we were 33.3% from three 13 of 39 n um our worst Shooters being keante and Johnny yuang which combined for 0 of 10 um uh if you want to throw Taylor Hendricks in there as well you could um that would make us one of 15 not much

Better um we were 18 of 22 from the free throw line though had 53 boards 28 assists which is slightly above our usual assist totals we had six steals we only had two blocks to this time and 12 turnovers for the Mavericks though they they shot 48% from the from the field

They were 1242 from the three-point line which was good because we were selling out a lot on three on three-pointers and I was kind of confused by our coverage a little bit I saw a lot of doubling when it seemed a little bit unnecessary and then you would see guys really push for

A strong contest on that immediate kick pass but it paid dividends um unfortunately we just didn’t have the scoring punch to send it home but yeah 28% from them from three-point range 15 of 18 from the free they had 51 rebounds they had 31 assists they had nine steals they had seven

Blocks five courtesy of that man Daniel Gafford goodness gracious if I could get Walker ker to play like Daniel Gafford he needs to go to whatever Camp Daniel Gafford does in the summer he needs to be working out with him 66 from the field in 27 minutes one to two from the

Free throw line 10 boards three of them being offensive five assists two steals five blocks no turnovers 13 points and a team High box SC plus minus of a plus 15 man Daniel gaer was hooping and a lot of people a lot of casual not not even

Casual a lot of people will look at his numbers and just be like oh you know that’s cool you know he’s a center he just had a cool double double no it was the way he got he got that double double if we can get Walker kesser to play that

Sort of way I’d love it I’d love it I don’t need Walker to give me 20 a game but a solid a strong 14 you know a strong nine 10 boards and he knows even five blocks you know give me three give me two some nights just strong effort yeah that’s

What you you want from a starting center in today’s game especially considering the fact that Daniel Gafford isn’t known for having a shoot a shot on him like outside of six outside of 10 feet he’s cooked from a from a scoring perspective but strong screens great roles knows

Where he needs to be on the court and makes proper decision making and that’s why he works so well with KY riving and Luka donic on the floor by the way um Kyrie had a decent game in the end luuka was struggling to get things going in the beginning that first half

Got ugly he only had nine points but in the second half he uh dropped 20 so it didn’t matter 24 from the field for him to 41% two of 11 from three we were really doubling him hard when he tried to get shots off from three he was seven of eight from the

Free throw line he had 12 rebounds 13 assists um the triple double obviously one steel one block he did have four turnovers which led his team they only had six turnovers as an entire unit which is insane by the way um but 29 Points box plus 10 Kyrie Irving in 35

Minutes EXC me 36 minutes by the way Lucas was in 41 minutes he was 10 of 21 for 47 and a half% four of nine from three three of three from the free throw line three rebounds five assists you know two turnovers he had the other two

Obviously um 27 total points in the Box plus minus of a plus nine PJ Washington wasn’t a slouch himself six six of 12 from the field in 35 minutes two of six from three two of two from the free throw line four boards one assist one steal no turnovers 16 points box plus

Well plus six um nobody else super notable on their team team I went over there most on Derrick Jones Jr was just kind of there um Dante X was just kind of there so was Derrick Lively uh Max cber same thing and then Jaden hary Dwight Dwight po Jay Lawson

Yada y uh Tim Hardway Jr sneaky decent game um didn’t shoot great from the field though in 29 minutes five of 14 from the field for 35% three of nine from three 33% two boards four assists three steals just kind of filling in the gaps for them had 13 points box a plus

Eight those are all of you know the the important pieces of the game but you know it was what it was it happened but let me see here we said George has hit the rookie wall oh he slammed that thing going 110 miles per hour that boy that brother is cooked

Right now I’m not gonna lie um it was rough what’s good Incognito he said I think I may go to the Spurs and Cavs g m let me know how that one goes if you do let me know talk to me about wimy um when when you come

Back from that one Clarkson George were the worst guards and played more than Colin how uh cause George is the rookie and because Clarkson I don’t I have nothing to say about Clarkson at this point any assumption I make is gonna be wrong regardless so I’m just gonna go

Ahead and assume that you know he’s cooking in practice or something or they just want to get him re accustom to the game granted this I’ll give him the benefit out this is his first game back from injury but at the same time no bu you

Know Zach said we tried a boys yeah up until about eight minutes left in the fourth quarter then things started the the rotations got a little bit shaky we saw a three guard lineup with Clarkson and George who were both shooting like God awful from the field which made no

Sense um but you know Nei here or there good luck with Hardy he’s really a secondary coach he can’t manage his subs and the game I think he can I think it’s a situation of what he what his expectations are for the season because if you look at the way he made

Substitutions earlier on in the season if you compare right now the substitutions he makes doesn’t even match what he did at the beginning of the Season you remember how bad we were at the beginning of the season right like it’s it’s different to the point where I’m not going to say

Somebody’s pulling his strings but he’s definitely having um uh how do you want to say there’s an expectation for what he’s supposed to do despite being the head coach right now and I don’t love the expectation that’s set for him but nevertheless he has

Um a role to play to stay on the on the good side of the front office because at the end of the day you know they do cut the check for him and things of that nature and these days you never know your head coach is never safe but I uh I

Have faith in Hardy though um I don’t hold this season against him because there were certain stints of this season where he where he objectively was he we lost or we struggled because of poor coaching and those are things that accountably W accountability wise he is the reason why

Like he is the head of the snake at the end of the day but as soon as we went into the you know we’re going to play the young guys era or as I’ve always coined as I’ve coined it the soft rebuild um I hold very little against him for

The fact of the expectations for what he’s supposed to do immediately changed like after the trade deadline will hardy could no longer be will hardy that wanted to do certain things the will hardy that wanted to win a specific way the will hardy that wanted to run specific rotations it became um will

Hardy with it was will it was asx’s will hardy plus expectation and I think that kind of messes things up it kind it really like I’m not gonna lie the game against the Rockets made me hate basketball guys like y’all anybody that was in here yesterday y’all remember how I was

Feeling after that one or the day before whichever one it was like that was that was just bad basketball that was that was atrocious basketball right out the gate too just Sucker Punch down 20 at the end of the first it’s like never a great feeling especially when you give

Up basically 50 in that first quarter but you know you get better eventually eventually you know just not not that it’s it’s just not it’s just not a great look for us right now I’ll say that I’ll say that um but but but but but where are we hair looking clean appreciate you

Zach I gotta get a read down I’m not gonna lie my part’s coming out but I’ve had it for three weeks now just Vibes go for like that anime protagonist something like that I guess makes me look more sophisticated I need to put on glasses one of these videos

Then I’m G really look like I know what I’m talking about um we said Hardy continues to cut off his water every time he gets hot Clockwork yeah you’re right about that um hair looking clean appreciate you appreciate you Tyson you said why we keep playing these G League guys Luca Johnny us

Um because this is the only time it’s going to be acceptable for us to play them copious amounts of minutes like next year this can’t happen um unless we immediately commit from the beginning of the season to just being cheeks all year which I don’t think we’re gonna do um

Considering that all of our oldish pieces are gone and at the end of the season tht is gonna be up for a contract extension because his his deal is gonna be done and I think we’re just going to let him walk so at that point he’s going

To be he’s going to have his role filled by a rookie that gets brought on and then you’ll see either Johnny will have a bigger role or he will have no role and he’ll just be a g- league sensation um same thing with you know Lucas

Salonic he’s probably gonna be a bench a bench a bench Pro he’s a practice test dummy at this point honestly which there’s nothing wrong with that and we appreciate those people that are you know in our service in that way but that’s really all that’s all I

Expect I’ll say that that’s all I expect there’s very few pieces that we’ve been playing recently um Kyrie Lewis had a good game last game you know one of the only people that did but still bench piece Luca same thing M uh Potter same thing tht gone um we know what Chris

Dunn is um by the way he didn’t playday because he said in that two game suspension om year at 7 I like him a lot he just doesn’t get that much opportunities um a lot of times I feel like he’s more consistent with what I want Walker Kessler to be than Walker

Kessler is he’s just not as prone to getting blocks but that’s also because he’s a lot more sound and strong in his base and just the way he goes about you know getting stops defensively he does he’s not one to jump he’s not one to swap hands up all the time

Um you know I like Bryce um finished with Clarkson not gonna lie obviously we know I like ston see I’m not GNA side note watching seon and Irving go at it as my two favorite guards in the league oh man I wish I was Court so I could get a photo of that

That’s like that’s top tier to me um keante is hitting a wall right now he he’s got to show me something because it’s getting it’s getting Wicked now because I I was doing a little numbers test beforehand just to give yall a little taste because

You know I I found that the easiest way to best articulate my arguments in any situation men lie women lie numbers don’t now numbers can be used to skew things for your argument but numbers don’t lie it is what it is um so to give

Him his fair Shake I was like you know he started roughly the last 20ish games plus um over the past 20 games to give you guys a a ballpark he’s played 31 and a half minutes averaged 16.3 points uh three rebounds 5.2 assists point8 steals point2 blocks and 2.9 turnovers a game

Right the turnovers are really the only rough part but 163 and five is solid bro that’s solid numbers now it’s when you get into the actual percentages where things start looking a little bit eh because on 14 field goal attempts a game he’s shooting 40.8% um and then half of those are

Three-pointers though which is explains why his percentage is slightly lower because he’s shooting 35% on that one right now that implies that the remainder is so he’s 2.5 for seven from three-point range on average over the past 20 games but from a two-point field goal pers perspective that means that he is

Is uh let me think let me think let me think let me think let me think 3 3.24 6.9 which is just under which is just under 50% so that’s acceptable right it makes sense considering the large sample size of Threes that he’s taking now that

Sounds really good but we also have to remember those two really good 30-point games were in that one where he was really hitting and he’s been really on and off since and he’s been a lot more off recently now if we cut it down to a

10 game sample size he’s playing 30 30 minutes a game 16.1 points so still 16 right three and a half rebounds so he’s up half a rebound and assist wise he’s down point6 he’s down to four and a half right point6 steals 02 blocks cool his turnovers have gone up though it went

From 2.9 average over the entire 20 game stin so when we shorted it down it’s 3.3 turnovers um on on basically the same number of field goal attempts on 13.7 as compared to 13.9 previously he shooting 38.7% from field goal range now you’d say okay so maybe he’s taking a larger

Sample size of three-pointers and that’s why his field goal percentage overall has decreased no that’s not the case he’s 1.7 for 6.3 from three so he’s attempting less threes right he’s attempting about one less three a game and he’s shooting 8% worse from three-point range but because it’s on

Six attempts it’s a significant chunk of his overall average um which you know isn’t great and then his two-point for his two-point field goals also take a slight dip as well which doesn’t help things um I’m hoping it’s a tempor it’s just you know he’s got to work through it it’s

Ugly though you know nobody likes seeing their rookie guy that’s supposed to be like a really big piece for the future you know putting up you know six points three boards five assists well you know three turnovers like it’s just not attractive um especially when you have

To see it night in and night out it’s just not a it’s not a numbers game that you really want to play especially when we have the high expectation for what keontay George could potentially be right people are talking about putting col seon on the bench so that we can put

In a proper two guard and then have Keon run the point guard well Keon gotta he can’t just show occasional promise he needs to show consistent promise because right now he’s looking like Jordan Clarkson did the first half of the season and honestly Jordan Clarkson right now they’re basically the same

Person um because they they’re both capable of getting high assist totals right Clarkson had eight today guante has six but they both combined for eight turnovers as well not the most ideal situation but again remember he’s a rookie he needs time to you know sort himself out

Um this can’t happen next year though unless again like we like I said we completely commit to tanking from the beginning of the Season as the expectation like okay guys we’re gonna be cheeks this year we’re playing the young guys still that’s the only way that it’s going to be acceptable for him

To continue to have these games because next season we need him to come out here and we need to be a lot more efficient we need him to shoot around 44% from the field it’s not to be terrific but you know I’m not gonna expect him to shoot like Kyrie percentages right Kyrie’s

Like shooting 49% from the field and like 40 and a half% from three right now I’m not expecting that from ke George that’s unreasonable but you know 44 % is you know right there in that ballpark of like League average comfortability and also considering a large sample size of

Three-point attempts I wouldn’t be mad if he was close to you know 40 44 43% from the field as long as he’s like 35 36% from three but if he ends up shooting 39% from the field and 30% from three on the season next year that’s not

Uh that’s nasty work I’m not gonna lie that’s uh that’s not what we want to hear from him and over overall this season on 10 10 and a half field goal attempts he’s shooting 39% from the field and 34% from three which yeah obviously not the not the greatest numbers you

Know but anyways you know I’m I’m finished I’m finished with that part we said uh smash that like button while he’s on his monologue gents I was having that main character moment you know how it is that usually in college highlights are crazy they are and the fact that we’re not seeing it

Now is kind of unfortunate I guess because he’s still put he’s putting up numbers he was putting up numbers in the G League when we had him assigned there um so he’s earned his right to prove that he’s you know serviceable at the NBA level or not serviceable at the NBA

Level and either way I respect him nevertheless I’m not gonna look at Johnny and be like oh yo Johnny’s trash bro why is Johnny getting an opportunity like no Johnny’s not trash anybody thinks Johnny’s trash go look at look at that tape that brother’s tough in certain situations but that’s the

Problem in certain situations we need him tough all the time um I know Hardy has uh this team to work with but I don’t like him too much I can respect that is extremely bad he plays favorites some things he can control like not overplaying certain guys expect to close the

Game that I personally think that it’s an expectation at this point um now earlier on in the season like when we were when we were winning games and Clarkson was getting certain types of burn I was getting irritated y’all remember that I don’t know if it’s a you

Know Clarkson just has favoritism by default or Clarkson gets the opportunity to do whatever regard um that’s why I’m a big proponent for just letting Clarkson go because this year has been his statistically his Worst season of his career right the very beginning of the Season it made sense right they were

Trying to make him something that he’s not and when it didn’t work what did we do we moved him back to the bench where he should have been but then he also wasn’t putting up great numbers on the bench and he proceeded to shoot a lotse worse consistently and things just never

Got better and it just never I don’t know like Clarkson was objectively the only person that was consistently put in winning situations like he’s had the longest leash out of anybody to be cheeks he’s been given the the most opportunity to be cheeks and that’s the thing that makes me very uncomfortable

Because it’s like we hold all these other guys to like higher levels and higher expectations but he was always immune from it right like I watched Colin sex and start the season on the bench and get treated like he couldn’t hoop no more like he was just an

Afterthought and then finally let him start and then he was like Hey Y’all remember me like like y’all remember y’all wanted me in the trade right like before Lowry y’all really wanted me and I’m here now like what’s up and you know he was doing his thing but you know we’re here

Now we said KY has been on uh Kyrie has been in god mode lately n for real he said shout out to shout out to former Dante X I’m weak yeah Clarkson had uh bad yeah and then everybody forgets that he had five bad nights that’s the

Funniest part he be getting fre minut off season absolutely feels like the Jazz try for three quarters only yeah the fourth is for development that’s the way it looked today I’m not gonna lie because we were we were really good that first half was sexy the third quarter

Was not bad but it was pretty decent you know I saw a lot of good things then the fourth quarter we pulled out we we ran a three yard lineup with two of our worst Shooters two guys having the worst shooting performances of the game on the court at the same

Time who also don’t play great defense I.E Jordan Clarkson and konay George and then put them alongside somebody who no matter how hard he tries is going to be a defensive liability regardless and Colin SE that it’s like okay so are we forgoing defense for offense those other

Two brothers aren’t scoring The Rock right now so what are we talking about um well but you know it was interesting so bad Chris D got mad literally at that point if they decided to tank trade seon and Lowry in the off season so they gotta do something what’s

Up Kurt thanks for giving us a fresh perspective I appreciate you tuning in brother no need to drag good players along like they’re doing now yeah it’s getting annoying let us see Lofton in a few the last few games honestly if we’re going to play fourth quarters like this

You might as well just throw Lofton out there like yes the brother’s big yes he’s overweight yes he can’t move that great but um 52 points is 52 points G League or not um give that brother some burn you know a cool 15 minutes a cool 15 minutes wouldn’t kill you we’re

Losing anyways right 15 is 15 let’s go um the J were smart they would have leaned heavily on developing Lowry and sex and Duo they compliment each other others game not to mention your two most efficient players they could have been special yeah the leash is as long as the

Distance between Utah and New York try Utah in the Philippines from here to his home country that’s how crazy that leash is that that that Clarkson leash man if a if de if the IRS was that generous with taxes I would never pay them I would never pay

Them but I don’t have that option unfortunately it happens it happens you know but it shakes out either way you know just gota you got to do what it do gotta do what it do and things of that nature but yeah um any more interesting thoughts or

Anything who do we play next actually before I before I do anything Google Utah Spurs tomorrow tomorrow is in what tomorrow is in actually tomorrow oh tomorrow is in uh over 24 hours tomorrow okay um Spurs at home rockets at home then we go on the road for the Kings come back

For the Cavs go on the road for the Clippers Warriors come back for nuggets Rockets go on the road for Clippers Warriors again o yeah we’re cooked this last part of the season I said our WI total could hit 34 if we really tried hard news flash we’re not trying hard we’ll

Probably end the season with 30 wins I’m not going to lie 30 or 31 is my new predict prediction yall remember when when when they were cashing my check and we look like a six seed we we look like we were we had that ceiling I remember it’s gone now it’s gone now

Ja don’t need a rebuild this season it’s going to be annoying to see us recyc B literally we lack physical big man would love to see lofting get physical like green does were way too soft at every position it’s rough it’s rough I think that’s why like we that’s

Why I feel like we need col a Col seon on our team because if you tra if we trade away col sexon objectively your guard room gets a lot softer a lot more pretty a lot more cutesy right you don’t have guys that are going to die for

Loose balls you don’t have guys that are going to take everything personal like yeah you have Chris Dunn but Chris Dunn’s not gonna sit there and be like super hype about it at the same time and you don’t have somebody that’s like gonna push the temple like really gonna

Get in somebody else’s Grill and conx is that guy he takes everything personal and I would love to see that from my bigs right I’d love to see that from like a John Collins I’d love I would it be chef’s kiss perfect if we could get it from uh what’s his name

From Walker Kessler but only the Lord knows when that’s coming out of him you know and draft is overrated these organizations don’t know how to scout you’re not wrong you’re not wrong they they really don’t they’re not great at the the number of Misses actually in the draft

Like when you actually look back at at the metrics from like even five 10 years ago is actually hilarious one thing I like that Hardy did early is mix up some and just throw teams off their groove a little we’re never going to be out we’re

Never going to out tal teams yeah the very few times we ever like reach a point where that’s something that happens for us not gonna lie you said facts kind of just guess nowadays because everyone is just like a JW in college and high school for

Real it’s hard that’s why honestly is it crazy that I’m high on LeBron LeBron James Jr is it crazy that I’m that I’m high on bronny I don’t think it’s crazy um I think that his health might be the only thing like you know the cardiac arrest

Thing that might be the only concern for him but like overall I think him going to Sierra Canyon I don’t think USC was a great pick for him um at the same time it’s obviously marred by his literal health issue that kept him out and then he has to get back

To not only playing basketball but playing basketball at an extremely high level I think bronnie is just not an individual player I think he was raised as a system piece so like bronnie on a team like the Spurs like bronnie and wemy I feel comfortable with that at

Least bronnie is gonna make the right decision to give WBY the ball right we’re not gonna see a game where Wy plays 30 minutes and only gets seven shots right we’re gonna see Wy get properly used like it’s it’s I don’t know maybe just chatting we said we need to out scheme

Teams throw them off a little yeah Yan will be have a great year and win a chip and go crazy but Dame will suck oh that’s spicy that’s spicy he said you never see a big man setting a hard screen to free up our guards true everything’s so so quick

It’s such a quick brush action I like I like physical like hard nose screen setting I like I like seeing Stephen Adams set a screen man I’m not gonna lie I’ll be that guy I like seeing Stephen Adams just like blow somebody up just like you remember when when that man Pat

Bev came guarding who was he guarding he was guarding like Westbrook was he guarding Westbrook like full court or was it Shay just coming down the court Stephen Adam sets that screen at the half court line and this man gets just completely bomed on right there man I love a good

Screen he said uh especially at backourt pressure yeah next year not this year it’s definitely possible people count out Yiannis too early Ronnie’s like a 90s guard he can cook and score when he wants but prefers to run assist him yeah and I think that I think that will

Either be his best attribute or his worst downfall the fact that he’s been built to be a system kind of COG and the Machine type of player and not just a Bron’s gonna do what bronnie wants to do kind of guy because he’s like his father

In the fact that he’s always going to make the right decision but it seems like his computer’s running so hard and also considering the health issue that he had I actually don’t know how the severity of it like I haven’t looked into it I don’t think anybody except for

The James family themselves know how you know severe it is for him but if that’s also playing into it that poses a lot of extra questions because then it’s like okay how hard does he know he can push himself before you know another more serious like health

Issue comes up or maybe there isn’t anything and maybe he’s just being cautious this year you know the rest of the season he just wants to be able to play and like showcase you know hey I can still pass hey I can still make good reads hey I can still play good defense

Yeah I can still get assist you know I’m not gonna shoot terrible from the field I’m gonna shoot okay we’ll get there eventually you know it could be one of those things an athletic Chris Dunn I wouldn’t be mad at that I wouldn’t be mad at that

A Chris Dunn that takes nine shot attempts a game nine to 11 I wouldn’t be mad at that I don’t I don’t think Bron is going to be you know a top 75 alltime player right now judging from what I’ve seen But I I’ll tell you right now I’d

Be hard pressed to sit there and say that he won’t be like a pennial Allstar will he be a first team all-nba player probably not um second third team on a consistent basis yeah I can see that um now of course it also comes down to scheme and like what team ends up

Actually drafting him of course because if he could drafted by like the freaking Hawks or Lord forbid the Hornets you know I mean well then that would bring LeBron over here I guess if LeBron’s serious about his thing um but you know who’s to say you know who is to say but

Yeah SP might get top pick again that’s the way that’s the way it’s looking they’re pretty close to it either way they’re gonna have their pick of the thing I wonder who they’re gonna pair alongside wmy there has to be a brilliant scheme behind the reason why

They’ve been as cheeks as they have been because they really have no reason to be as bad as they’ve been with wmy since the All-Star break they’ve been like a top five defense when he’s on the court but they they shink to like 17th when he’s off which is you know obviously not

Going to help especially because anyone they can’t score let’s see say hot take Giannis has been better than joic and always has been here’s the one thing I’ll say you can kind of stop Yannis yoke it there’s no better player on the planet than joic

Joic in the last 1.5 seconds on the shot clock I’ve never seen somebody piss me off more and I’m a LeBron lover so like those days when LeBron was going into to Toronto when you had D rozan and Kyle Lowry as the prime duo in there and that

Man was literally greasing them up and putting them on the skillet to burn like those were like that was that was Peak basketball to me that was like oh my goodness this one man cannot be stopped he’s different then I watch jokas come over here every time you know 7 seconds on the

Clock he the ball and it goes in the other day it was from behind the backboard just nastiness and it’s not even like it looks like a calculated thing the thing that pisses me off is is it looks like he’s just doing stuff out there just look like he’s out there just

Out just out there hooping man just just hey eff it it might go in you know what’s the worst shot the shot that you know take he’s one of those guys he’s one of those guys that’s the part that’ be irking me about yic um that is a hot

Take I can respect it but I think that jokic’s play style and his decision- making skills um put him above Giannis for me and because it will ultimately allow him to meld with better players like in general like across history and even beyond that it just puts him in a

Position to where he can make a lot more things shake and and has so far also they have as many picks and let’s be honest if you f agent would you play with pops and wimy or an unknown situation in Utah you raise a good point what about Washington Washington’s

Cheeks was cheeks wish they let Denny cook they need to let somebody else cook instead of that kozma pool do it’s about time P had to take that step back but man look that man kozman just wants to be cheeks and silence he just wants to

He just wants to be quiet out there he just wants to put stuff on get respect in his City and just go about his day and I respect it I respect it he he gives the Vibes of a Charlotte player cheeks and okay cheeks and okay when he sat there

And denied that that that trade request to Dallas I think it was I was like that is an interesting one cuz kma could really be good if he really want wanted to be like he could be on a you know he could be a very good piece but neii

Way oh yeah he did go to uh University of Utah didn’t he I forgot that I’m not gonna lie yok is Unstoppable he is proof brains are as valuable as Athletics when you have both yeah yeah that man is the most ground bound big of all time but he still be

Doing the darn thing him pump faking on a dunk is hilarious to me like faking like he about a dunk and then just doing a layup that man yish is a hoot that brother is hilarious for no reason to just be doing stuff out there but I respect it though you know

That’s just how he is man but yeah any more you know thoughts comments concerns I’m going try and record a video after this right now I’m on the East Coast it is 12:16 oh yeah I have a what’s his name I have that man Braun I have that I have

That man uh cam Cami editing now he’s still learning the Rope so please bear with him but the past two videos my fonio video and then my Kenny Lofton Jr video both of those were his handiwork um so I just kind of cut out cut out the

Extra gaps and then shoot it over to him and he has my my clips and numbers and stuff so he’ll progressively get better but he’s paying dividends right now so I’m very appreciative of uh our our lovely our lovely member of the family for his consistency and undying

Loyalty said I think Yan is so good not because he can do anything just because he does the same move and it works hey I’m not gonna lie I can’t even argue with that that’s a fair point boom you said his name you said his name Z

You said his name Salon I’m not gonna lie I’m not gonna lie across the entire rookie class that’s the person that I’m that I’m very high on why are you very F why are you very high on him wraith don’t ask me brother that 610 length that that that

Movability you know the the versatility at his size I think could be very sneaky good um now of course there’s a less certainty with him which is the question question mark But I do really like the prospect that he presents himself to be at the moment at the very least and so I

Would definitely be interested to see what all comes of it because I I have a I have a high outlook on him if I’m gonna be quite honest with you kman is another Clarkson basically they’re the same person to me I mean they both played for the for the

Lakers at the same time so stands to reason but yeah would you rather a short Wing or a taller Wing a taller Wing is always preferred um as a shorter Wing you have to try harder on defense um offensively you just also have to be more skilled and more

Talented across the board because you can’t afford you can’t you’re not afforded the opportunity to get away with certain things Kai Jones Shaq is me not the league has t his name is Kai Jones yeah that man Kai Jones is still out of a job is he not let me check real

Quick before I just start talking crazy about this man and whole time he’s like back in the league Kai Jones last play for the Delaware Blue coats of the NBA G League huh really strong urge to sing intro 27 days 27 nights for no reason for literally no reason born in the Bahamas is a crazy place to be Huh yeah he was a curious case I’m not going to lie oh let me see uh Jones hamstring became a free agency Monday after his 10-day contract with the Sixers expired 76ers have the option of retaining Jones on a second 10day deal but it’s unclear if

The organization has any desire to do so while he’s still recovering from a right hamstring strain the injury prevented him from playing with the 76ers at any point during his initial 10-day deal but he likely wouldn’t have been featured in head coach Nick nurse’s rotation even if he had been

Healthy fair play uh he’s still around what is higher up our defense or offense um I would say our uh wow i’ say defense I’d say defense I I think that we’re more capable like when all our pieces are aligned and when everybody’s healthy I think our defense looks a lot more consistent

Um that offensive situation sometimes it comes in go we have great shooting Jordan Clarkson is the biggest issue if you don’t have Jordan Clarkson out there and Keon George isn’t shooting you know absolute bricks right if you have your back like when we had the back court of Chris Dunn

And Colin ston dun doesn’t take a lot of shots you’re gonna see a lot of more high efficiency shots from your bigs um plus ston I love that situation I loved it back then so from that standpoint yeah that would be nice but outside of that just defense for

Sure should have signed Thomas to a Oney year time deal hey man he’s only on a 10-day contract we’ll see if he comes back we’ll see we’ll see we’ll see um night yawn making me tired hey there we go there we go Kurt said it Kurt said it best ladies and

Gentlemen but yeah that’ll pretty much do it for me gentlemen appreciate y’all tuning in you know what are your plans postseason gotta keep going though I’m less optimistic about less season than I have been um I actually don’t know I might just do like game by game nightly Recaps or

Something or just uh I might focus on one team each round to like really Zone in on maybe that’s actually that’s a really good question I actually have no idea um but I do need to figure that out I’ve really been debating um like regardless of what I do this

Channel will always have like an emphasis on the Utah Jazz like I’ll still always like you know go live after games and whatnot but what I may end up doing is I might just start doing other topics on this channel as well to create a more cohesive unit instead of just

Uploading on two separate channels um I’m kind of up in the air about it I know I did a vote before I’ll probably do a vote at the end of the season um while also letting everybody know like obviously we’re still going to be like a Utah Jazz like centered or

Like you know most of the videos will be Utah Jazz related um but there will be like you know I want to do a video about uh Lonzo ball like really big because to me healthy Lonzo is great for the league I miss him I miss another grown man yes

Pause what was that saying I’ll be putting all my boys in position no Diddy yeah basically but we’ll see how things sort out I might just ask what every I might do a poll and ask everybody to comment down below what they think I should end

Up doing um but that’ll be coming up you know around the end of the season we’ll know for certain for certain but with that being said and if all hearts and minds are clear I appreciate you lovely gentlemen for you know staying around you said it’s funny

How the second Dwayne brought the Jazz we started to rebuild spicy stuff right there but I appreciate y’all you know hanging out this was obviously a much better showing by the Jazz overall even though they didn’t really seem to go for the win in the fourth quarter uh

Nevertheless it was definitely one of the more preferred situations for us we’ve definitely had lesser options we’ve definitely had much worse games literally the difference between this game and the game against the Rockets is night and day um long term I do expect to see some more productive development

From some guys you know kante is still in his slum hopefully gets out soon and Bryce S ball should be looking to get some more opportunities um but with that being said appreciate you guys tuning into this live stream be ready for some more content from the Utah Jazz Community

In this video we discuss the loss to the Dallas Mavericks 105 to 115 at home in a wild effort that saw solid play on both ends of the floor. Markkanen in a return game led all scorers with 34 points based off of a strong first half performance, but Luka and Kyrie helped the Mavs close the game out in handed fashion.
