Tony tweeted at half that this is the first Jazz team he’s covered that didn’t put together a good stretch of basketball in December. I replied at the end of the game that we are 5-2 in the last 7 games and he deleted it lmao.

Even through three quarters the Jazz were a steaming pile of dog $#@ and then the 4th. Oh my!!!!! Dunn flirted with a triple double again.

Michael Jordan Clarkson!

If we want to keep winning, we better not be selling Clarkson at the deadline imo.

Sexton didn’t play any part of the big comeback but I just wanted to mention we’re 5-2 with him as a starter and here are his stats:

23.3 PPG, 4.4 APG, 2.7 RPG, 47.4% from field, 40.5% from 3 and only 1.9 TOPG!

I know it's JazzAvenues job but I decided to open one of my Christmas present quotes early:

"We had zero answers offensively once Kessler got real minutes anchoring their zone. No idea why he didn't start and saw so few minutes in the first half."

Why did Hendricks only play 1 minute? Did not follow game

Well, we won a road game against a not terrible team. I do think having Kessler and Lauri both healthy at the same time is critical for this team. This team is closer to who I thought they were at the start of the season, and a trade or two from being competitive.

Ya even after all the suck I still think we are a playoff team. I thought that from day one and I still think so.
We gotta stay healthy though.

And sadly if we are healthy and going for the playoffs then Hendrix is headed back to the g league or just riding pine.

Which is fine with me if we are going to the playoffs.

Nice post, he deserves some credit for sure.

Yeah, dude is famous for being wrong then not owning it. Thing is he's good the other 42% of the time.

Because he is a rookie and we are a deep team when we are healthy.

Dunn played a very bad 3 quarters but damn his 4th made up for it. He was huge for the comeback.

Those alley-oop passes were awesome.

Down bad divorced dad?

Nope, mom died 15 months ago. Never been married nor want to, Iike dating too much, and feel extremely comfortable in solitude.

What a fun win this one was. Prime Jordan and good Lauri. But for the love of the ball, Lauri ain't defensive anchor for zone D
