This guy knows ball.
Vegas? Not so much

Only took a career high from Keyonte and a season high from Love

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

This game is a true coin flip. We gotta lose a bunch of these if the tank is to survive. I have a bad feeling on this one.

Are you unaware of how bad Utah is on the road? If it was a home game your statement would have validity. It's not

However you want to phrase it. Utah is probably going to lose.

We got some very deluded fans who somehow thinks Utah has this good team that can't possibly lose if we don't sit everyone.

Deluded huh?

Crucial block by Ace to deny Morant that essentially won us the game. Nice to see the kid making an impact despite the poor shooting.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Mediocrity here we come!

It's got to be miserable to be mad about the tank instead of elated that we are seeing a star develop in Keyonte

Doesn’t matter what it took lol. Both Fish and I fuggin called it. Bow down.

 

[homeytennis]

Let's sign Love to a five year deal.

 

[KqWIN]

Best game of Key’s career? Crazy shot at the end there.

Also, Ja sucks. MEM w/o Edey sucks.

 

[fishonjazz]

Key, Dybantsa, Ace, Lauri, and Kessler would be pretty life changing, although the odds are long.

Really though, I wonder who OKC will take with our pick

Quaintance.

Like I said. Healthy and rested. (Plus I am able recognize that Memphis isn't good)

I think you need to replace the words "instead of" with the word "and"

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

Some might think "Ey, what can you do when you have two players that can go 30 any given night against most teams, one of them will cook in each quarter".

Well maybe don't play thru ages old K Love to flip the momentum on third. That's what brought the win really. Key career high and strong third from Lauri is nice but ffs K Love that's not part of the future really hurt the tank

It's great to watch Keyonte showing this level of play.

But our lack of commitment to the tank is a slap in the face to the entire fanbase.

Fourth year of rebuilding and losing records so that we don't look anything close to a path for contending (If the goal is not to contend, then why four years of purposefully losing roster constructions ?). Not only that, but in what is predicted as a historical draft they don't even make a real effort for keeping their damn pick. A pick that is going for the most asset stacked franchise in the history of the league, and if someday you maybe dream of making the playoffs again, you'd still have to surpass them to even make into the finals.

Do we even have a reason to care ?

Memphis is better than the Jazz.

Keyonte just had an insane performance and was hitting tough shots & and 1s all game combined with Love getting hot. Utah loses that game 7/10 times.

It's a testament to how good Keyonte is getting that he can have these games were he is driving winning.

Just be happy Keyonte for clutch minutes and won the game for the Jazz. Some of y'all actively choose to be miserable

 

[KqWIN]

Half and half didn’t work. One third and two thirds is the way.

Yall are so god damn melodramatic.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I would like to tank a bit harder too, but we won because Keyonte George scored 39 against a team that is halfway decent.

The lottery gods will favor the JazZ if y'all stop crying 100% of the time about any win and be thankful for what we are watching out of Keyonte.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

I love seeing Key play great and I’m always happy for the players when they get a tough win, but Hendricks plays all those KLove minutes, the Jazz accomplish what they need to accomplish.
