I am concerned about the well being of all the Jazz players and we can't be too careful this time of the year. When in doubt the player sits.

@homeytennis is Harkless injured? I noticed he's listed as "Out" for the Jazz and isnt playing with the Stars. I'm sad we havent gotten any Harkless lately.

He must be injured. He didn't play for the Stars today and they had a new guard from Florida State on the floor today. Getting GLeague injury info is like obtaining Russian Nuclear Secrets.

Social media and populism really has transformed people into believing that acting like a complete ******* is something to be admired and "owning" someone is the best thing you can do.

Yes. Giving someone condolences is super harsh.
My bad.

I think the dilemma with Flip is that he can’t really be a C on defense, but his shooting/passing aren’t as valuable as the 4. It makes him a nice 3rd big to have, but probably won’t be a starter…..which is still great pick at 32.

I think you can say the same thing about a bunch of guys, including Karl Towns, Domantas Sabonis, Alperen Sengun and Al Horford. In the case of Horford and Towns, they've been able to play next to other bigs, mostly because they can kind of play defense on the perimeter (though it's not great).

The real, true, admired assholes proudly admit being assholes and don't hide meekly.

I'm not a fan of the Svi Mykhailyuk backup point-guard motif. I hope we don't get too much of that tonight.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Toronto starting Jakobe Walter and Orlando Robinson. They're throwing down the gauntlet too.

Walker tanking it seems

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Brice is the least athletic guy on the floor right now. That's not actually an insult. The Raptors have a bunch of speed demons out there.

 

[fishonjazz]

Walker tanking it seems

on the other hand 4 rebounds and 4 points in 4 minutes aint bad. Seems to be playing hard as well.
Glad hardy took him out just now.
3 turnovers tho

 

[fishonjazz]

They gave collin sexton a block for that chase down steal lol. Lowest blocked shot in nba history.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jakobe Walter currently outscoring the Jazz 7-6.

Go Jakobe!

No way the hornets can beat the cavs right? (tied up 32-32 rn)

 

[KqWIN]

Pressing and trapping the Jazz is a terrible way to try to tank against them.

Horford is not in that dilemma at all. He is still a great defender at both positions and was elite for his career.

The other guys don’t have this dilemma because they are the elite of the elite offensive bigs.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Cody just held up in isolation defense against Scottie Barnes. Weird.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Flip so nice

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

That almost looked on purpose by Flip

 

[Shad]

We have to win one of these garbage teams. I'm hoping we get it against the raptors over the wizards and hornets.
