This is like the 5th time we've played the Jazz this year including preseason. I'm tired of playing the Jazz.

A lot of Jazz fans aren't convinced Hayward's a star. He's a great player, but more of a secondary star. Given that, there's no way Utah lets him go without a fight. He'll get the max offer from them.
- He's probably the most underrated player in the league and the best player in the league to have not made an all star team yet.

Is Boston going to have cap space for a max offer? I really don't see him leaving Utah, the fans would not be happy after they finally make the playoffs after 5 or 6 years and then their best player walks. Not sure Hill, Hood, Hayward, Favors, Gobert is ever a true title contender, but that team could be a solid 3 or 4 seed for the next 5 or 6 years.

Hayward would never come here. He's worshiped like a God in Utah, and their team is much better than ours. He can sign a bigger contract with them. We have literally nothing to offer him that they don't.

This Jazz team is huge, they have size at every position. Joe Johnson is solid yet, he is gonna be a problem in the post for Booker. Bad matchup for us, I just want a close game.

How the hell can Book not stay in front of slow *** Ingles?

Did Bledsoe just screw up a fast break for f***ing style points?

Warren being guarded by Ingles, good luck with that.
- Haven't watched the Jazz nor paid attention to them. Is he a great defender or something?

Bender doing a good job on Hayward and his hipster hair.

Jazz defense is so good it reduces the BBIQ by our players by like 50.

Williams has no chance to guard Gobert.

Boris is such a good passer, I'd like the suns to try using bender similarly.

A lot of wishful thinking shots against Gobert.

Bledsoe can have a big game if he wants. Jazz have a hard time containing the ball with nice pgs.

Haha, Gobert is too tall.

That was very strange by Bledsoe. Tried to go for the ESPN top-10

Ingles is killing us

I'm watching the game and can't understand how we are in front. Can someone draw this for me please?

Is Ingles really is a good defender? I dont understand how Book cant blow pass him for a layup

Eric, can't do that pass when gobert is lurking

Gobert is like an evolutionary Mutombo. Nasty around the rim. He won the game for the Jazz, shutting us down at the rim the last few minutes.

And of course,*Joe Ingles*is still the Booker snuffler. Devin just couldn’t get anything with Ingles on him.

Golbert does that all the time. Its his signature move, the block

Gobert’s not human.

If anyone but Gobert was the opposition, and Joe Johnson doesn’t hit a miracle shot, Chriss would be the hero making that game winner dunk.

Joe Johnson hit a HUGE contested corner three*after the Suns played a really solid defensive sequence. Tucker’s hand was in Johnson’s face, but he made it anyway. Pure Joe.

Good god. Literally can't play better defense. Lucky as f***!!!!

F***ing Joe Johnson.

wtf Joe Johnson… just… how?

Joe Cool is full of daggers tonight. Seems like every time the Jazz take the lead it is on a JJ shot.

Its not really luck, its elite skill. He has been doing that for over a decade. Since 2001

Joe Johnson with a dagger 3 even though he was guarded well by Tucker.

Johnson's got ice in his veins...

That Joe Johnson shot was garbage.

Also think it’s interesting how much more watchable this team has been of late. I know that’s not a quantifiable measurement but damn if I’m not actually having a good time watching these last few games ( even the losses).

When Boris grabbed and pulled Ulis by the wrist to physically force a switch after setting a lazy pick, I worried for a moment there Boris was grabbing dinner.

Jazz are so weird in a good way. They just play basketball. You don’t get cool points on the*NBA

Please don't give me a spiel about putting a product on the court and the fans will show up.... some of the worse teams out there can fill the seats w/ home FANS. I know I sound like a repeated record, just sick to my stomach. I dislike it so much, especially hearing opposing fans cheer for the players over the tube.

Good game to watch, lot of guys played well and I didn't have to watch Knight. Great defensive possession on that Johnson 3, everyone rotated like they should have and he just hit a tough shot.

Winnable game, we lost the game on that three point shot by Joe Johnson. Their veterans played a good game, they have a lot of savvy players with great size. But was Gobert the player of the game, OMG he just protects the rim like no one in the current NBA. Better than DeAndre or Drummond this season.
 
The longer the belief that "Joe Ingles can't guard anyone " exists, the better off the we will be, and the great post game fan comments will continue. Keep doing your thing Slo-mo Joe!!!
 
And of course,*Joe Ingles*is still the Booker snuffler. Devin just couldn’t get anything with Ingles on him.

Booker snuffler lol.

When Boris grabbed and pulled Ulis by the wrist to physically force a switch after setting a lazy pick, I worried for a moment there Boris was grabbing dinner.

Pure gold.

This is like the 5th time we've played the Jazz this year including preseason. I'm tired of playing the Jazz.

poor suns fans. They knew what was coming. Lol

Love reading these threads and reading how shocked opposing fans are at how good Ingles is. I'm convinced he could average 14pts 4 assists a night if he wanted to but he's so team oriented that he chooses to focus more on the things most players choose to ignore because it won't get noticed by the espn's of the world. Hell of a find by the jazz.
 
And to think that the Jazz probably signed Ingles more to be Dante's buddy and help with his development rather than be a contributor to the overall success of the team.
 
Not anyone with an acute racial bias when it comes to assessing NBA talent, no.

What does race have to do with it? I love Jingles. He's one of my favorite guys ever - but let's not distort the facts.

He was a (seemingly) unathletic, Aussie playing in Europe who came over on a minimum contract and got cut by the Clippers.. If they'd have had ANY idea that he'd be playing this well, he'd still be in L.A.

Thankfully, the Jazz gave him a chance, Joe has worked his *** off and he's been able to maximize his opportunities. I thought for awhile that he was just a glue guy, but he's a pretty damn good basketball player when he gets quality minutes. Hope the Jazz hang onto him for several more years.
 
Ingles got in shape this off season that is why he took a step up. Jazz thought he would be a solid bench guy. They got more than they thought they would now. We got a little lucky with him. Not as lucky as Gobert but still a little lucky. I think Ingles should start over Hood when when Hood is healthy and playing okay. I like ingles shooting, passing and defense better. Plus I think Hood can step up more against bench players.
