I’m glad the young guys are getting some run here, but I’m pretty sure these close wins against Phoenix and Boston are going to haunt the Jazz down the road.

Stealth tank move.

@Thee Jazz Fan thanks for putting this on. I had a lot of fun participating in the drafts this summer.

Great matchup Thee - you put together a spectacular team. I didn’t want to influence things too much, but you asked me to run a simulation of our draft’s tournament through an AI model - and this was the exact result that I got when I did that. Our two teams in the finals and my team pulling out...

If ever there was a year for the Jazz to maximize their top pick, this is it. I’m going to spend the whole season hoping the Jazz, Wolves and Cavs are all bottom dwellers this year.

Great matchup for a finals series. Love that this thing is right down to the wire - as it should be. Hopefully we can get a lot more people to jump on and vote before it is over. Good luck Thee. You’ve got a great team, but I think mine is better and I’m looking forward to changing your username.

Eyes on the prize people. Not only do we want to be in the bottom 5 in the standings, but we want Minnesota and Cleveland right there with us as well.

It’s not really fair to compare any whipper-snapper to the immortal Jingles. Don’t put that kind of heat on the kid. He can’t live up to it.

Key and Clayton, Jr. were both pleasant surprises last night. I’m not worried about the Jazz big situation/lineup, but guard play will either make or break this team.

This whole post is basically what happened last night. Let’s see if it’s a trend or if it was an anomaly.

I don’t think the relationship has been bad. They’ve just been tanking and he has been great on defense and minutes on offense so far.

Shoulda tanked harder in 22. Jazz own damn fault they leaned too heavy on Conley, Clarkson and Olynyk. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. . . but they had a golden opportunity and just played too well to start the season and Ryan wanted an All-Star in Lauri since the game was in SLC that year.

I actually think the relationship is fine. The Jazz will use assets and cap space to add another All Star level player through trade (and possible a top 10 draft pick depending on the final results) and then they’ll extend him to a fair amount for both sides. I’d be surprised if Walker even gets...

Agreed. Just hope he stays healthy.
