Game Thread Oct 31, 2022 07:00PM MT: Jazz vs. Grizzlies

Still too early to call anything, but yeah, it looks like Utah might be a playoff team. Danny Ainge will have to work wizardy in the draft and trade market to finish the roster out and not rely on being gifted elite talent at teh top of the draft.

Dok with 3 rebounds in 3 minutes taking out the trash.

The DM and Bogey trades appear to be win-win trades for all involved.

If Ainge can go 3 for 3 with Jazz picks next year this could be very exciting

Bucks and Jazz tied for most wins in the league. Who had that on their bingo card?

Certainly not Danny Ainge.

Lauri is under contract for three years at a super affordable rate. One could argue he might have the best contract in the NBA right now.

Dude is going nowhere.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

6-2. Beat one of the best teams 2x in a row.

This ain't no fluke.

K.O gets no love from the refs, but you gotta love the man's heart.

I totally trust DA for that. We all tought he was going for a heavy tank when he was saying that he was too old for that and that he wanted a quick rebuild. Seems that he was right. We may be only one good player away to be a contender. And i dont know for you guys but i struggle to see the limit of this current team. They work hard, defend well, pass the ball very well and got some very talented players.

FYI, on Twitter someone mentioned Kenny Lofton Jr is not the son of Kenny Lofton the baseball player.

This team is blowing me away. So tough to beat a team twice in a row. I love Coach Hardy.

Yep, watching the Detroit feed on the Pistons/Bucks game and the announcers were gushing about the Bogey extension. #3 for made threes this year behind #1 Curry and #2 Hield. “Great addition, not just good, great.”
Just the way I feel about Olynyk actually.

Son of the NFL player?

DA should call the Knicks and offer Lauri for five 1sts, Barrett, Grimes, Toppin, Quickly.......and cash considerations.

That’s not enough.

Knicks: "Let us keep Grimes and you've got yourself a deal"

The thing that surprises me is how much space the Jazz's perimeter shooters have been getting. They had wide open looks a lot tonight, and I'm not sure why defenses are collapsing on our drivers like they are. Lauri had wide open looks. Beasley had wide open looks. Conley had wide open looks. Jordan had a couple. On and on. Jazz made 19 3s again tonight, and I'm not sure half of them were even contested.

Just to inform everyone. Grimes (who was untouchable for the Knicks) has played a total of 0 minutes this year.
