    Enjoy the games and pray for a miracle with the pick. The big two just scored 61 on Pistons and 57 on Spurs while some other young guys contributing as well. Both of Lauri and Key has to consider of having a chance for ASG game, at least from the reserve spots, if there's injuries. So you can't...

    The Lauri Thread

    We need a 3pt hot streak for the guy. He's tanked his 3pt% to ~35 again like last season. I checked out he has nine games with ten+ 3p attempts, in which only two of them he's gone above his career average 37%. Be it the increased minutes and tiredness, shot form or shot selection, he has to do...

    It was expected Jazz wins one or two of these home games against good teams before the year changes. Be happy for having Key and Lauri. What I don't like is Kevin Love getting more minutes than Flip. We need young guys learn to win these kind games. If not, then it'll be a tank win. So win-win.

    The NBA and its stakeholders have started talks on finding new solutions to prevent tanking

    I had a detailed proposition in this spirit last season. It's somewhere in this forum.

    He is. But Jazz have punchers chance at home. As we've seen, they can go 70% or 20% from the field to start a game. Anything between it or above 45% and they hang on it for a while. If Pistons comes hard from the bang, it can be over in 12 minutes again, though. Especially if Lauri suffers of...

    I don't think Lauri is going to be ok sitting out games w/o a real reason, specifically now that the all star voting started. He made it very clear his goal is making the all star game again. The way he started the season, it feels unlikely he's be willingly out at the exact time when the voting...

    What should the FO do if we are 0.500 by January?

    I don't know how much insight it needs for that POV, really. I mean, it's more like stating the obvious as we all know here the exact same thing at this point. We can read the standings and "the room", and know for sure it's really hard to get better than those lottery seedings. It could be even...

    Literally no one wants to watch foul game when you're three buckets behind. Eww.

    I think Lebron will win this for them in 4th, but it's gonna be close. Man, I am 41 and can barely poop w/o injury upon me.

    Hardy isn’t the guy for this job. It isn’t working

    Thank you for the kind words, my fellow human!

    Hardy isn’t the guy for this job. It isn’t working

    I should note here one thing: Jazz has lately been having loose schedule so there has been time to go thru more team practices. I'm sure that has something to add into how Cody or Taylor performed last night. Especially Taylor coming back this season from recovered injury. These looser spots in...

    They did it with Lauri and the young guys, just.have to take it. The pick might slip away. It's Lauri out in a trade, DNP's for key or Lauri.. Or bye bye pick. Rough spot to be on but Key proving to be top 10-15 scorer possibly in the long run. How about that?

    This will be a Jazz game, like it or not. On 2nd half they will turn up intensity in D. Key is hot and Lauri didnt have to carry a big Load on offense, so when Dallas HAS to try slow down key, it'll open more space to Lauri and Ace who will score on them.

    The odds follow cash flow and don't always make perfect sense is how I see sports betting odds.
