I haven't seen it yet. Gotta wait until my mental health improves. Apparently watching Jazz games isn't helping.

tbh it's probably a little cheerier than watching these two games

Objectively speaking, the Jazz don't actually have much talent on their roster. The fact that guys like Fontecchio and Yurtseven are able to come in and give the team a boost speaks a fair amount.

They got a decent amount of talent. The talent just doesnt fit.

So how good was Australia's victory in the cricket world cup eh

 

[Doc Cherno]

The nap I took today to be able to stay up for this game was WASTED.

 

[enchilada_style]

those two suns games were decent but these last two games have me thinking we will be balls deep in the lottery

Should we start wearing bags over our heads now?

you should
but mostly cuz u ugly

I like the Jazz looking for Lauri to be aggressive.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Portland has better defenders than the Jazz. Just more length and athleticism.

so i nearly hit a kangaroo on the way to work this morning

If Will doesn't play Clarkson and Keyonte, the ball won't move on offense. When he does play them though, they get blown by defensively.

 

[Step-Back Hook]

We are broken. Tired and mentally tired. Even Lauri sucks so U now things are bad. That Suns game followed this double fiasco b2b ... Just omg. That Suns game broke us. We needed that adrenaline boost from a win.

 

[Elizah Huge]

This team is making me appreciate the Donovan/Rudy teams a little more tonight.

 

[Doc Cherno]

I love Clarkson, but not tonight.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Which one of you is at the Portland game wildin with this jersey on?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

This is what a team that's early in the rebuild process looks like. When Quin Snyder took over the Jazz in 2014/15, he at least inherited Rudy and Derrick Favors around whom he could build a defensive identity. He also had Gordon Hayward around whom he could build an offense. Will is working with a hodge podge of players that basically treads water on both ends of the floor.

The talent on this roster probably generates 28 or 30 wins.

Now that we're finally tankong properly..... it's a year too late in my opinion

Jazz were holding out to get returns on their current players. The tear-down process took a year. Hopefully that Lakers pick is really worth something.

I’m going to just start eating turkey. Uncooked.
