Seems that battle with Portland will be tough!

Man the Jazz are bad which is good for the tank. But the lottery isn't won by the team with the worse record anymore. Our young guys are limited offensively but have shown some promise on the defensive but the Jazz have few players who can create shots on their own. It is going to be a long and ugly season.

We're such a poor ball handling, passing, and decision making team that if teams press us we are going to struggle.

If we play a team and they aren't pressing us hard, then they aren't being serious, so we can expect it almost every game. Then it's just a matter of how tightly the game is called. We could get lots of whistles and shoot a ton of free throws, or not get the whistles and get blown out. Doesn't sound like a very fun year.

As usual Hardy is going to Hardy with the vets. In a game like this I'm not sure how Flip only gets 4 minutes but not shocking with Hardy running the show.

Kind of interesting statistical coincidence from the game last night

4-17 Lauri
4-13 sexton
4-12 key
4-10 Collins

Kessler and eubanks were the only players (12 guys played) over 40% from the field.
Both Kessler and eubanks were 1-1 lol

The Jazz appears to be a franchise where there's not even 2 guys with the same agenda, so games like this one should be expected.

Jazz also have a lot of guys who need to stop the ball and wait a few beats before making decisions. That's the thing this team needs to clean up the most, just making quicker reads.

I really dont think that's the issue. Jazz are just extremely young and the vets, outside of Lauri, arent top 100 players.

A lot of time to turn it around, but Sexton seems to have regressed. Taking less 3's and missing more passes than ever.

For most of our guys their first instinct is to drive when the right thing many times is to make a quick pass or to catch and shoot. You can see them thinking and trying to overcome their natural instincts.

This might be fun for some of you guys but my God this team has regressed every year of the tank. I think we’ve adopted loser’s mentality. That first game was a study in how to choke away a close game. And the second a study in how to dress for a game without really showing up.

Already sprung for the League Pass, might have to get behind the Cavs or the Wolves or somebody else for awhile. Could be awhile though cause CF and company ain’t gonna solve a thing not in the near future anyway.
