What the?

Lol, it doesn't matter, but I am still bothered how in the preseason the Raptors destroyed this team.

you negative nancys pro tankers just stop watching or jump on board. this team is full of dogs and we are for real

We won because the clippers broadcast put up a graphic about their exceptional ratings in clutch time.

It’s kinda nice to be able to play small ball with the clippers and not see them blow by our construction cone guards only to attack Gobert (the only player attempting to play defense).

I wouldnt say the Raptors are the Jazz's krypotnite.

Our Kryptonite is going to be any team with elite wings who thrive off size mismatches. We saw Marcus Morris just utterly crush us in the post w/ mismatch basketball. We got kind of lucky he was incredibly cold from 3.

Our best lineups right now are involving two of Conley/Sexton on the court and that's just rough defensively, especially when you are also playing a guy like KO out there. It's a credit to how hard the Jazz play that we are as good defensively as we are, but we can still get exposed unless we want to play THT more (and that can be rough if teams sag off him like they did tonight)

I already feel much more comfortable with a small lead then I did all of last year. This team is legit.

I know that some of you guys are struggling with the idea of “losing” out on a 14% shot at Wemby but we are just so damn lucky to land on our feet and be winning after selling off four starters. Would anybody really rather be a turnstile team like Houston, Detroit and OKC with protracted losing for the next four or five years?

Lauri's on a bargain of a contract and so is Sexton. You have four years and it starts now. I wouldn't go dumpster diving in the lottery; just keep doing Danny style trades ..but with a focus to add talent as quickly but as cost effectively as possible. But this would be harder to do in 4 years then to try to do it now.

Nice to see that we win depiste not shooting that well ( except JC) and turn over the ball a lot. Just show how deep the team is this year. Can't wait office day finish and look at the replay. Great win !!

And, MM got incredibly lucky Vandy wasn't there to shut his *** down.

+1, i'm glad DA say he was not going for a long rebuild and he did it. If we maintain this all season, we wil move from seller to buyer.

I feel like Markkanen could have taken Morris or Batum anytime he wanted. I guess Sexton getting on top of the rim again and again did the trick though.

100% couldn’t agree more!
