  1. I’m going to capture Walker-Kessler. I’m going to freeze him in carbonite. And he will live forever in our hearts, our minds, and in a triple thick steel enforced vault in our States capitol.

  2. KlythsbyTheJedi

    Kelly made me upset for a minute, but he made up for it w the clutch steal, I forgive him.

  3. Krakenborn

    Friendship with Gobert over. Kessler new Stifle Tower

  4. babyyodavan

    I’ll be the first to say fuck Zion for walking off the court after the game, limp away big man

  5. Con_Man_69

    SWEEP ALERT!!!
    70 POINTS COMBINED FROM JC AND LAURI!!!

  6. argonplatypus

    Kessler leading our +/- tonight. Kid is going to be amazing

  7. toaster_inthe_lake

    #Utah Jazz Basketball is fun again!!!!

  8. FERFreak731

    A few weeks ago I wanted NAW traded for a second round pick

  9. SavvyDexter

    Jordan Clarkson and Lauri Markkanen masterclass once again. Kobe and Shaq<<<

  10. Albert_street

    Rudy Gobert will have his jersey hung in the Delta Center.

    That said, we won the fuck out of that trade. Kessler is the future.

  11. SlimmerThiccerRicc

    Walker-Kessler-Ranger is going to be a problem on defense. Unbelievable

  12. 19mete96

    Walker is the best rookie we got after 2017

  13. toaster_inthe_lake

    Hey y’all. I know we love and respect all that Rudy did for us but hey, they practically gave us Walker Kessler for free, and we ALSO got Vando from that deal. So if anything, thanks Minnesota

  14. GilgameDistance

    When was the last time we heard “we play together” during a walk off?

  15. chinchulancha

    Fucking 2am in here. I needed it to end!

    Great game by Kessler, Lauri, JC

  16. jordan clutchson. veteran GOAT conley. walker kessler. walker kessler. walker kessler.

  17. Man, y’all should have seen the salty ass Pelicans fans in the r/nba thread lmao. Constantly whining about refs and refusing to accept that we’re good enough to outright beat them.

  18. JC and Lauri were amazing.

    But, and you’d never know it from just looking at the boxscore, NAW is the one who changed this game.

  19. thehelpfulcamel

    Mike Conley shot 1-6 from the field and 2-6 from the line and we 100% lose this game without him down the stretch. I love this man.

    Also, how about Will Hardy trusting his rookie center to close off the bench? Quin never would have done that.

    This team is the complete antithesis of last season’s and I love it.

  20. Tha_crack_fox

    shout out to will hardy for changing up the rotation. NAW on CJ, and Kessler in for JV was fuckin huge

  21. Careless_Tear2058

    Watching this team just continually puts into sharp relief how much last year sucked. I love this team. I love that they love each other. And Hardy coached the fuuuuuuck out of this game tonight. Everything is so much better now than it was.

  22. chrimewave

    leaving kessler to go the distance in the OT and challenging his foul out call successfully was a hardy masterclass

  23. Fragrant_Coach_408

    As i said in my previous comments, we are the Pels Kryptonite. I hope that we don’t face them in the playoffs cause payback is a bitch.

  24. Jazzlike-Apple1293

    Tried watching the game but it was glitching every three seconds. Overall really impressed with our guys, I thought for sure we would lose this one before we even started. Then I was certain when the third quarter the Pels started pulling ahead, but then we managed to get it back and fight through overtime pretty soundly.

    Honestly our squad is elite with clutch time! I don’t know what the stats say, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were the best in the NBA in clutch games.

    3-0 in overtime baby, let’s go!! Also loved that we snapped the pels 15-0 streak of winning when ahead at the end of the third.

  25. toaster_inthe_lake

    Kess our leader in +/- here. We absolutely won the FUCK out of the trade, and then some. Remember we also got Vando from that trade.

  26. KlythsbyTheJedi

    Quick shoutout to our guards for getting Lauri second-half touches!! Keep doing that!!

  27. Bilbodabag

    Man Hardy is such a good coach. Feels like every adjustment he makes works and is not afraid to switch things up when it’s not working. Also that challenge overturn on Kessler’s 6th foul was massive. He was the only reason Zion didn’t score every time

  28. Jazzlike-Apple1293

    To win this game and Conley only got 4 points is astounding! Thank heavens JC and Lauri went insaneo style tonight!

  29. NativeNevada23

    This team is going to give me a heart attack. My Apple Watch heart rate spiked at the end of regulation. What a fun team!

  30. NBA-throwaway

    How many more games until Kessler becomes full time starter

  31. Units4ever

    As a pels fan I have to ask is Kessler gobert 2.0 but probably better? Like Zion always saw gobert and ATTACKED him. He was a bit hesitant tonight vs Kessler

  32. dautjazz

    Kessler definitely won us the game down the stretch, Zion definitely attacked the rim less in the 4th and OT as a result of Kessler’s presence.

  33. JoeIngles

    GAME NOTES: (sorry for lack of them, been on vacation)

    Hardy riding with Kessler and Olynyk was clutch. That challenge and standing by the Rook showed massive balls

    JC had an insane game. Almost lost it at the end of regulation with a bad pull-up 3 and almost lost the ball, but it turned out well. Hope this is the start to a new hot streak after his sluggish last 3-4 weeks

    Conley didn’t shoot well at all, but the difference was huge when he was in the game. Vintage Conley defensively, and distributing was top tier

    NAW deserves all of THT’s minutes when Sexton is back. He is taking full advantage of the opportunity. Good for him!

    Lauri was borderline unstoppable too. 70 pts combined between him and JC. He was attacking, hitting his 3’s at a great clip, and getting to his spots. We stopped feeding him in OT, but it’s alright

    Major props again to Hardy. He was relentless at going against Zion every time on defense. No matter who Zion was guarding, you knew he was getting scored on

    I still think that block by nance should’ve been goaltending, but it’s alright. A W is a W

    3-0 in OT this season, such a complete 180 from Snyders teams

    I’m pretty sure Kessler could very well be another Rudy type. To think we got him + Beasley + Vando + THT + 8000000 FRP is insane. I love Rudy with all my heart, but Kessler is quickly helping me over it. He was a baller tonight defensively

    Rudy gays minutes still ass, our biggest weakness rn is PF. Vando didn’t have his best game, but I’d rather play him 10/10 times over Gay. I can’t wait for Fontecchio to return to steal some minutes

    Crazy we haven’t lost to the Pels all season.

    We did a much better job at forcing turnovers tonight. We still need to work on not giving the ball up 16+ times a game, but as long as we force 12+ we are looking good. Tonight was reliant on forcing 18 turnovers. The pels shot better than us, had more boards, more points in the paint, and more points off turnovers yet we still won. Insane showing by the boys

    Can’t wait for Sexton to be back, I miss his intensity.

    17-14 BITCHES WE ARE ZIONS KRYPTONITE
