[Saint Cy of JFC]

Definitly a bad loss. did not seems on my opinion that Hardy try to win this one much.

Great loss

 

[Elizah Huge]

Now tell me what everyone else in the team was doing? Because that was every non Lauri player the entire game and Lauri was being doubled teamed. At least THT was occasionally making big plays

Everyone else on the team was watching THT over dribble and either miss an easy shot or turn the ball over.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

When Ochai got hurt that left Hardy with 3-4 real NBA rotation quality players. If San Antonio lost this game it was on them.

They have more than that, but none of them can shoot so it lowers the collective effectiveness of everyone

Well THT shot 50% from the field compared to the rest of the team who shot 32%

After the Ochai injury the Jazz just didnt have enough shooting to make lineups work

After Lauri, KO, and Kessler there are a lot of maybe for me.

****ing embarrassing to lose one of ********* NBA teams in your home arena.
Markkanen only 1 point in 4th quarter that's ****ing pathetic for allstar player.
Is this team seriously interested to get into play-in games or not.

How many times it needs to say if this current tanking mode continues next 2 years
the chances for that Lauri signs extension with Jazz gets quite thin / slim.

Lauri has watched enough tanking in Chicago
so if Jazz cannot impress Lauri on that Jazz are playoff team 2025-2026 season he will not stay in Utah.
Keep mind NBA's new TV contract should be done summer 2025 and that will mean those players ( including Lauri ) who are UFA's that year will get big moneys when cap space rises.

Lauri has done his part to impress Jazz and Danny Ainge.
Now it is Danny's turn to do his part to get Lauri staying in Utah after summer 2025 and tanking will not help that.

I absolutely agree with that. THT was absolute trash down the stretch though. I don’t think he could have played worse. Both things can be true.

Chill the hell out. We were missing most of our guards and no the jazz don't have interest in making it to the play in. This was a great loss so stop bitching.

Getting whiplash with this post.

Lauri will be unhappy years from now because we ‘tanked’ by losing one game to a bad team in a game that he was ‘****ing pathetic’ in the fourth quarter?

Should have just rested lauri no?

 

[fishonjazz]

After Lauri, KO, and Kessler there are a lot of maybe for me.

KO was 0-4 from the field fwiw

 

[homeytennis]

Did the two Laker guys and Frank Jackson hit on Hardy's wife? Their picture is on the back of a milk carton.

 

[Agent#00]

Hardy just want to snap that 16 game losing streak of pop. Not in my house said hardy

 

[homeytennis]

Is Ochai out for weeks?

 

[Jingled]

Should have just rested lauri no?

I was thinking the same thing. Might as well just rest him until JC and Sexton get back.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Putting a win on the Spurs is special stuff. Not many teams have done it.

 

[Step-Back Hook]

having to end the game with two guards that are not real 3 pt threats and Kessler... And Ko that was not making nothing more than free throws... Lauri had 0 room. This win counts for SAS just in the record. We get on the post-season push soon again. If Ochai gonna be out sooner might need to look up for g-leaguers... Bulls also did waive Dragic. get him.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Guys… this was a critical loss… y’all got to juiced up on a couple wins to shorty teams… the tank is back and it’s stronger than ever
