So is Jones or Tuscano good enough to make Jazz roster next year

Jones has guaranteed Money next so I can see him being on the roster. JTA isn’t a bad player and could be basically what Juanco was for us last year. Both are a little out of our time line age wise at 28-29. They are bottom of rotation to out of the rotation players on a normal team IMO.

That being said Jones is definitely better than Dok. And JTA was a rotation player on a championship Golden State team but has been injured a lot this year.

Jeez, I don't look at the game and suddenly we win? What's up with that?

 

[homeytennis]

Jones had some decent stats with the Kings last year.

 

[Hearsky]

It is going to get crazy when Danny forces the Jazz to play 3 on 5 in order to preserve the tank.

Sexton: Hold my beer.

 

[sip]

Dok might no even be in the rotation in a week once Jones gets a little acclimated to the way the Jazz play

That wouldn't shock me either. Hardy never plays the guys I want unless he is forced to.

Toronto went 2/8 in the last 4mins of he game. missed mostly open shots. Sexton was great attacking the rim. Danny should be angry

 

[MT Steve]

lol

Jazz make tanking moves, then go into Toronto where they made win-now moves and beat them.

Love it.

How are bad teams even bad… like we win on ****ing accident… we need to get Jim Boylen on the line and pick his brain… this losing **** is so hard.

 

[LogGrad98]

Can't believe we won this one. 40 points in the 4th. Crazy.

 

[One Brow]

Are there any high lights of the last 5 minutes? I watched the full game highlights and they cut them off at the 5 minute mark. I couldn't believe the Jazz won.

I was pretty annoyed at that.

 

[PresidioTrojan]

Sexton
Russ
Clarkson
Lauri
Kessler

Now that would be something

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I just think Collin is more comfortable starting than coming off the bench. He made a couple bad decisions, but made more good ones than bad ones.

He plays differently.. he’s looking for others more as a starter.

 

[Pinhead]

He plays differently.. he’s looking for others more as a starter.

I think it’s that he has a longer leash now. He’d get pulled any time he made a mistake before. It’s difficult to play with that level of stress.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Best years are ahead of him.

Mature THT is a problem

Mature and in a little better shape is a player I’d enjoy watching for sometime.

 

[Nate505]

The tankers have to be so angry tonight.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

The tankers have to be so angry tonight.

You have no idea.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Love it. LOVE IT. **** the tank.

Big story of the game: Lauri is learning how to react to double teams quicker and use them to his advantage. Never seen him do this much purposeful creating for others. The big-to-big connection with Kessler is impossible to defend once they get more reps in. Markkanen should easily average 4 assists per game with the amount of attention he's getting when he drives. And I love Kessler's ability to catch the ball in traffic. He has good hands but he's also paying attention and thinking one step ahead.

Can't believe we pulled this off.

You see it now? I did call this yesterday. The development of the future pieces was why we looked at every opportunity to move those 3. DA also probably wanted to help the Lakers as well which is gonna be positive for us if they surge.

Losing more is still a likely byproduct because of our bench.. as even though two of the pieces didnt fit I find it hard to imagine the current bench wont get bulldozed by most teams.

This team said **** the tank before the season. They continue to say **** the tank.
