clearly need to collect the aussies

cash considerations saved our tank.

Thank you for your sacrifice

Will hardy looking frustrated with the refs for the camera

It’s too blatant, need to dress it up more

JJJ needs 2 months vacation after stressful trade deadline.

If he dies he dies

Danny Ainge

I mean, he did have an illness where he lost 10 pounds. Maybe the sudden weight loss made him fatigued where coach Hardy decided to bench him

Or maybe it was a tank. I think theory 1 should be used to convince Silver not to fine the Jazz

Obvious tank but they have a few high drafted pick rookies who might win sometimes

Nurk had no injury designation and didn’t even play. Not the first time recently. Completely unserious franchise over there.

It’s disgraceful, should be punished for it.

CJ has been good the past few games, no one could hit a shot tonight. He got picked on like trae on defense though it was gross.

Agree with it all, get CJ off my team man

Jazz are going to have a plethora talent like OKC was rebuilding in the SGA early days. Lauri, Kessler, Keyonte, Bailey, 26 Lottery pick. Collier, Svi, and now they add JJJ. It’s not a bad young squad at all. They could upgrade Sensabaugh though.

Their center rotation is actually the most stacked in the league rn. Kessler, Nurkic, Flip is so strong that they gifted us Jock for cash lmaooo

5 players that played tonight are 22 or Under.

Next year is gonna be exciting.

Yup. Obviously Keyonte knocking on the door of the top-30 conversation is our biggest story this year, but the team has a lot going on that’s not just about him. Collier has developed into a quietly pretty nice piece for us, Ace has a sky high ceiling, and even Cody Williams, who looked like an absolutely disastrous pick at #10 has turned out to be sneaky kind of nice these last two months or so as he’s filled out his frame.

Add Lauri, JJJ, and Kessler to that group and you have a pretty fierce rotation that hopefully will have a lot more defensive upside than our Kessler-less season has had this year. My big concern is ballhandling in our starting five since only Keyonte is a really skilled dribbler of the starting five, but beyond that I think our starting lineup is going to really shock some people next year.

Jazz had a lot of close games this year against top teams. Lauri playing an extra 3-4 min would make the difference

It would help if he played some d

Shooting and defense weren’t great but his passing was so fucking good tonight, so many great dimes for easy buckets

If defensive stops became a stat he would be the best player in the league.

Because Jalen Johnson is the empty stat padder on a tanking team. Someone has to get those shots, and CJ tried to take them away from Jalen and shot end of January/February tour dates 4 straight games when he first got here and Jalen literally could not do anything to look like the “all-star” Hawks fans want you to believe he is. 

I don’t care that it’s your cake day, let them tank one more year in peace. It’s hard to get people to come to play in Utah.

A “losing culture” is a real thing. If guys have never learned how to win at the NBA level, it’s not something you can just “turn on” next season.

It’s awful for the sport

The league is unfair.

The Lakers land generational talent era, after era, after era, no matter how shitty their situation is. It just falls in their lap, like it’s nothing.

The fact that people are complaining about Utah tanking, when the top of the league has been playing on easy mode for the past several decades– it’s genuinely baffling to me, lmao.

Shit’s just unfair. If you wanna give a fuck, focus on the shit that actually sucks, and let us actually land game changing talent for once.

The jazz could put a team of midget eight year olds on the court and it would pass as peak entertainment in SLC

Embarrassing. Poverty franchise. 

Putting Oscar tschiebwe on Jalen Johnson in the 4th was a pro move imo

Then you have Collier picked #29 in the same draft

Brother, if the Jazz keep their pick this year they’re going to be so much better in the future than if they lose it. It’s the beast the NBA has created. It happened before the Jazz, it’ll happen after the Jazz. It sucks, but now that we have a clear path back to the playoffs next season, we have to do whatever it takes to keep that pick.

Take a walk buddy

To be fair. I am thinking that about us too. We haven’t named a center for tomorrow and our center for the whole year went 26/11/5.

Trust me, we’re doing the league a favour. You don’t want OKC having another top 10 pick.

Not all teams can get handed #1 pick for helping the lakers. Some teams have to tank

This is the last year the jazz have the pick swap in play, the plan was always to make sure theyre guaranteed at least a top 8 pick and then push to win next year
