[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz's rim defense = 0.

 

[FalseFlagg K]

wtf has happened just logged on to check the score and Cody has no zeros ???

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz playing Kyle Anderson at the 5. Not much vertical presence there.

 

[slc]

Wow All the young guys playing good at the same time

 

[cctrackstar]

why did we trade up for a tank commander?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Stupid foul by Ace on Flagg's 3PA

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Flagg is putting up big numbers on us. I wonder what his season-high is.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Keyonte with 24 points and 4 assists at halftime

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

This will be a Jazz game, like it or not. On 2nd half they will turn up intensity in D. Key is hot and Lauri didnt have to carry a big Load on offense, so when Dallas HAS to try slow down key, it'll open more space to Lauri and Ace who will score on them.

 

[JimLes]

It's terrifying to contemplate that with the exception of a man out of the season and Nurkić, there probably isn't a player on the Jazz who will ever be a net positive on defense. I mean, holy crap the last 4-5 drafts.

I don’t see any reason why Ace couldn’t develop into a positive defensive player

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Three revelations from tonight’s game:

1) Ace has absolutely zero chance of winning ROY this season
2) Flagg is the generational talent all the pundits said he was and will win ROY unless he goes out for the season
3) News of Cody and Taylor’s demise has been greatly exaggerated
