This should have been a no-show schedule loss… would have been so easy to mail it in after starting slow. I’m crazy impressed… it’s unreal.

 

[Agent#00]

He succeeded this time with his hero ball, nobody else barely touched the ball in last 5 minutes. Including Lauri.

But this is a horrible way to play always.

Now that Conley is out we will see JC&Sexton selfish dribbling over and over again.

Good luck Lauri getting even those 10 shots and&or passed the ball to at all.

Yesterday we had 32 assist. Today 23. Mikes passing and game control will be missed for sure but it also means we can win either way. We become unpredictable and chaotic and that's just fine.

Damn, could have sworn it was knee to knee contact. My guess is he hyper extended it and he’s out a couple weeks with a sprain.

I’m scared… those noncontact ones that buckle can be a sprain/hyperextesion… or it can be like Kawhi. Sucks.

It looked to me like he hyperextended it. Looked like a non-contact injury. My guess is maybe a sprain.

Blazers announcers did say that he hyper-extended it.

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

If Conley misses time, does Hardy go with Sexton or THT as the starting point guard? I'm actually leaning toward THT.

THT between the two. I’m guessing that Hardy makes Clarkson the defacto point guard and starts Beasley at the two.

The insane scrutiny this kid is under on this board is wild.

What do you mean? It seems it was praising him for his stats based on limited minutes and coming off injury. Then following up with rooting for him.... not sure what "wild scrutiny" you're seeing.

He means scrutiny on this board, not in that tweet. He takes a beating on this board, especially from one poster in particular.

Ohh, tough night for those Jazz "fans" who want to see the team lose. It's one of those nights I really feel bad for those "fans." This night was tailor made for them.

And **** the tank!

He has his ups and downs and is nearly guaranteed to have a maddening turnover a game, but he's really tough to dislike. Dude plays hard.

Hope it's only this. Few weeks and it may be okay in that case. But we will suffer on the passing part. I do hope Sexton, THt and Beasley share the min.

 

[Nate505]

On another note man those Blazers announcers are ****ing terrible. So many times they had to get on these dumb little rants or topics, completely ignoring what was going on in the game.

 

[Nate505]

Beasley is really ****ing good. Love that dude.

I'm sure the Jazz can still trade him to a contender like the Lakers for Westbrook and three second round picks in 2029, 2931, and 2037 though!

 

[aussietin]

JC tonight is the reason why lavine expects to close out the game after starting 1-14

 

[HermanG]

You all gonna be telling your grandkids one day about that time you wanted your team to tank and they won the 22-23 NBA championship.

"Son, the year Jazz won their first NBA title, we rooted for them to finish last"

 

[HermanG]

I know but we haven’t put a team to sleep yet. We were up 19 with dame gone; gotta go night night for them there

I think Nuggets, Memphis and Lakers might disagree. But you are right about us having a lot more opportunities to do so.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

Just watch the replay. Very gret effort from the team specially without Mike. I was in a mall in Bangkok ( Central Bangna) having lunch and some shopping when i cross a guy wearing JC jersey here !. I told my wife this is a sign, JC will make us win the game. I was so right this time !!!

Hmm so what now nba fans? Other teams fans being racist to Jazz players.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

I prefer this win than the suns one if i have to choose.
For 2 reasons :
- We got it without Mike.
- We got it not shooting particulary well.

We cannot expect shooting 40% at 3 every night considering the high volume we take. Tonight we shoot only 35.9% which is correct but we find a way. Very impressed by this group.
In fact they are a better team than last year.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

What are we doing playing Mike in this game? We kept playing with fire and it burnt us, just really predictable stuff. Hopefully he's not out for too long.
