Brice, Collier and Flip did not look hideous tonight so there's that and Tay Henny was even in the box score.

Nurk the King congrats

 

[jazznik]

Third triple double in a row for Nurk. Unreal.

Nurk got lucky because Brice stole one rebound from him in the middle of the 4th and almost prevented him from the triple-double. Brice regularly does some really dumb stuff.

Time to trade Nurk. Dudes going to get us 6 unprotected firsts.

I think this is actually a thing. We have been showcasing nurkic and see what offers we get?

So it's looking like Nurk will set the jazz record for triple doubles in this season alone. Unbelievable.

So I looked it up. Pistol Pete has the record with 5 in a season. Nurk already made jazz history with the most consecutive triple doubles with 3 in a row. If they keep getting him minutes in his current role he should easily beat the 5 from Maravich.

Pretty crazy that's the best our franchise has produced in a season. 5.

Ok looked that up too. The jazz as a franchise have the least triple doubles of any franchise in nba history. A grand total of 28 in franchise history. Followed by the grizzlies at 34 and the magic at 38. Get this, Josh Giddey nearly has more triple doubles than the entire jazz franchise at 25 for his career so far. LOL

And 6 out of those 28 are Mark Eaton with pts/rbs/blocks. Never ceases to amaze me.

When do you all think Ace is going to start popping off? Post trade deadline? Year 2? Year 3?

He'll look significantly better next year, but the real ascension will be year 3.

 

[fishonjazz]

Why is Brice shooting (and missing!) a technical when we have a 95% FT shooter on the floor?!

That's a weird one

 

[fishonjazz]

Will Hardy is blatantly trying to lose this game.

As he should. He should want a top pick in the draft more than anyone in the entire organization.

 

[fishonjazz]

What is the point of playing Anderson over Hendricks? Give the kid some run so we can see if he can do anything. Anderson has zero future here.

This

Hopefully Key takes him under his wing in the offseason to help avoid the sophmore slump that we saw from Key and Kessler before coming back strong in their 3rd year. I would be surprised if this offseason we don't more buy in than ever from the entire team knowing that it is now game on. We always knew this year was about keeping our pick but next season is all about winning. We will still be extremely young but most guys will have experience and we should be pretty deep team.
