They're wearing the highlighter yellow jerseys today...this one will for sure be a loss.

They got to be so distracting for the other team. Easy W.

You know, Rafael Nadal often wears a bright yellow shirt when he plays tennis tournaments. His shirt is the same color as the tennis ball, making it more difficult for opponents to see the ball when he hits it. I've always thought that was unsportsmanlike. Maybe the Jazz are onto something. It could be a trick to distract opponents and make them feel sick.

Also, Jazz are on a back-to-back. I thought they might rest Mike, but it doesn't look like it. See if they rest him against Houston tomorrow.

 

[David Hume]

The only thing NO has left is complaining about not having the Jazz name. They can’t even come up with a respectable team mascot and the arena name is the worst in professional sports.

“Smoothie King Center” is indeed an awkward, unfortunate monicker. May I offer these alternatives:
1: His Majesty King George the Third Center
2: Center for Empirical and Basketball Studies
3: His Majesty William the Lion Arena
4: Loch Ness, Home of thy Pelicans

 

[Keefe]

We lose. Finally.

By 20.

 

[MT Steve]

GO JAZZ!!!

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

At least we won't have to watch Brandon Ingram go off against Royce O'Neale.

the battle of the undefeated behemoths.

a WCF finals preview.

 

[HeatCheck]

Maybe it's the volume but the crowd in New Orleans seems a bit subdued.

 

[Moonlight Graham]

This is my first time watching a game with the yellow jerseys. They are truly awful.

We look like sharpie highlighters.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I really want Vanderbilt to somehow become a good offensive player. He really deserves it for how hard he plays.

 

[whatthe]

Vando hit a 3. If that is a real option then this offense becomes supercharged even more...this is crazy.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz have enough size with Lauri, Kelly and JV that they're keeping guys out of the paint pretty well.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The drop off from Conley to Sexton is massive.

 

[prodigy]

Walker if Zion is barrelling towards you please step to the side. I dont want to see my favorite rook on the wrong side of a highlight reel.

sexton is trash
