Keyonte starting to look like he could be a star.

 

[SojoDave]

If only we had a good defensive guard we could have brought in to slow down the Twolves. ...#whereisharkless

 

[HadAnEffectHere]

The Nets could be the worst defensive team of all time, but that's the only thing that will stop the Jazz from finishing 30th in defense.

Nurkic/Love/Filipowski at center is just...... No.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Games like this show who wants to compete at a high level and who doesn't. I like what Keyonte, Flip, Ace and Lauri showed, at least in spurts.

 

[fishonjazz]

Fun fact.
The deficit after the first quarter in this game is the largest 1st quarter deficit in jazz history

 

[fishonjazz]

Fun fact #2: jazz attempt the most mid range shots of any team in the NBA.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Outside of making tanking easier, I really don't see much value in having a roster full of rookie contract players. Feels like they just hold each other back.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I don't know what hurts my eyes more, the court color or the Jazz's play.

They're meant to go together like a matching set.

 

[fishonjazz]

Fun fact #3: I have always believed in Hardy being a good coach, even when I was critical of him, but I think he has lost my support at this point.

 

[str8line]

Lauri had a huge vertical on that monster dunk. Didn't realize he could sky.

Hardy's roster isn't designed to compete at this level. We're undersized or underskilled at multiple positions.

AJ plays tomorrow at 7 pm. His first home game.

I kinda think the Jazz FO is just bad at drafting and bad at evaluating talent, including the talent on their own team.

Oh you seem to think hardy has lost me due to the team losing games despite the fact that I want losses as much as just about anybody.
Interesting, but incorrect, theory.

Eh, even still. I'm pretty easy to please (and I realize pleasing me isn't Hardys job). Stop giving big minutes to dudes who won't be part of this team in the near future.
And don't say things like you reward guys for playing the right way and hold guys accountable but then not actually coach that way.
I mean you and I both remember Kessler getting the shaft all too often. Many of us saw sexton losing playing time to worse players.
Then things like tonight. You have basically one thing this season that has worked consistently. Keyonte playing PG and playing it great. Hardy saw that thing that wasn't broken and decided to fix it lol.
Jazz being #1 in the NBA in midrange shots doesn't seem like a great game plan.

It's just reached a point.

Or im just venting

 

[str8line]

Ant is Jordanesque.

 

[Jingled]

Is it possible Hardy just doesn’t know how to coach defense? I know Kesslers out right now but even with him we were still the worst defense in the league the past couple of years.

Even if that's true, he can bring in an assistant who's a defensive specialist.

No, it's just we have a bunch of rookie contract players.

 

[Shad]

Collier bad.
Hendricks bad.
Bryce bad.
Ace bad.
Cody is so bad he doesn't get time.
Flip pretty bad.

We're suppose to go all in next season and I have to believe that's a lie. Keyonte is the only player (and probably Walker) who doesn't look completely horrible. Ace and Flip probably have good careers too but Cody, Bryce, Collier, and Hendricks look like they'll be playing Euro ball soon
