Jazz give up 46 pts in a quarter with few, if any, defensive adjustments and without calling a timeout for 10 mins. Anyone see if Will Hardy was beet-red with anger?

He's just getting the guys in shape. No TOs equals a great cardio workout.

I dont think any of us expected ny defense with Keyonte, Svi, Flip, Lauri, and Walker starting ... but then who's going to play defense on the bench?

I was gonna make this comment earlier in the year but Ace doesn't seem to have much of a vertical. Seems like on his dunks he barely gets over the rim.
Even on a wide open breakaway dunk.
It's weird because he has good height and length and seems like a jumper but then looks like he struggles to dunk a little bit.
It's confusing

Saint Cy of JFC · 2025-10-29T20:30:32-0600

Keyonte just has really inconsistent base/balance on his 3s. Even when he's mostly open there seems to be too much movement in his base. Might have to rework his base at some point to make it a bit more of a set shot. He's on fire from the FT line.

Brooklyn Nets start 0-5 with a -14 point differential. Looks like they're the pacesetters. NOLA and Indiana not far behind.

I didn't think a Rick Carlisle team would tank, but it looks like it's on its way.

I really liked the buckets from Taylor.
He has developed some new stuff.

Could be the knee tendinitis.

Walker Kessler is going to be a top 6 shooter by the end of the year.

The floater was nice.

Why do we consistently help off of good 3 point shooters for no particular reason?

I think that NBA players help too much in general on all teams.

If there's a hill I'm willing to die on with the modern NBA, it's that you can't win a title if you're forced to give big minutes to rotations with multiple awful defenders.

You can get away with one really bad defender, but that really bad defender better be rock solid on offense.

The organization better start giving a damn about that end instead of treating its only good defenders like red-headed stepchildren.

AJ plays defense

The Pelicans dont matter. The Hawks have their pick lol

Jazz transition defense looks sluggish.

Saint Cy of JFC · 2025-10-29T20:34:36-0600

Only way to slow this Blazers team down is to make shots.

Saint Cy of JFC · 2025-10-29T20:35:07-0600

Clingan making Walker look little

Saint Cy of JFC · 2025-10-29T20:35:44-0600

Walker getting 40 million my ***

Shad · 2025-10-29T20:35:49-0600

Walker back to back getting blocked

Ferguson_Mellochill · 2025-10-29T20:36:05-0600

Walker needs to gather, pump-fake and go up strong.

Jesus, we allowed damn near 50 points that quarter.

Sooooooooo bad.

Don't tell the Jazz that - they might be tempted to pass on him at #1 if they hear he plays defense.
