Collier only had 6 TOs. I thought he'd have more.

Collin, Walker, and Lauri actually trying really hard while playing 3 on 5 is kinda depressing, lol.

Collier and Cody pulled out a clutch loss, but man, they're just so bad.

Pulling Svi and Juzang were good coaching moves by Hardy. Both were starting to roll when the hook came. Pure genius.

I mean, they were certainly effective for the objective, but even tank fans like me every once and a while have to step back and say "man, this is bleak ****"

 

[Elizah Huge]

That was some wildly exciting and fun basketball between two bad teams.

 

[HadAnEffectHere]

I will say that was a good game, both teams played very hard outside of like Cody and Ayton.

That was some wildly exciting and fun basketball between two bad teams.

An AAU game broke out in the 4th. Every possession was a fast break with some kind of lob thrown.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

There is a god!! That was a hell of a comeback win by the jazz Markkanen almost screwed it up. Lol

 

[MT Steve]

lol, Will Hardy looks so happy in the post presser.

"Yeah that was a really tough loss."

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

NBA has really something to fixed. Getting so many teams tanking is not a good thing as it only annoyed the fans.
If i was at Silver position, i will allow only the Jazz to tank this year

 

[NUMBERICA]

Huge ****ing loss tonight. LFG.

 

[jazznik]

Cody looked a bit stronger to me. He was steadier on his feet and did not shy away from the contact.

 

[jazznik]

The Jazz were +10 in 35 minutes when Collier was on the floor and -12 in 13 minutes with him on the bench. We need to play Collier more.

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

Scoot swooped the win from the Jazz to help their quest to scoop the Coop. I'm also minorly bummed because the step back three from Lauri to tie the game was such a beauty, but as wins don't get them far this season, whatever.

 

[CVJ]

The Jazz were +10 in 35 minutes when Collier was on the floor and -12 in 13 minutes with him on the bench. We need to play Collier more.

Sounds like we need to play him less.

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

Sounds like we need to play him less.

Yes, let's reward well playing rookies by cutting their minutes. "Nice".

 

[Tanktastic]

Now that was a true tanking loss by Hardy.

Making sure to lose in that way of course works for the organization, but I wonder what Lauri, Sexton and Walker are thinking when they got home and remember that 4th Q. It's the front office's job to make the tank work, but that was 100 % Hardy.

Collier & Cody could make the tank work probably playing with prime LeBron & MJ.

 

[Douchebag K]

The Jazz were +10 in 35 minutes when Collier was on the floor and -12 in 13 minutes with him on the bench. We need to play Collier more.

I think you mean less

Yes Collier happened to be on the floor when players were hitting shots

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

When Svi's feet are set and he's on balance, his shot feels automatic.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Happy for the loss, but this one feels a little dirty.
