[Coach Ellis]

Jazz needed a hot shooting night to beat a team playing G Leaguers.

I'm not worried about the tank

I hope so. Still think they won too many close games early when it would be nice to have a buffer to finish the season. One of Peterson, AJ or Wagler would be very nice to add to the new core of the team.

Here is a crazy stat
Stockton had over 20 assists 35 times

it's kinda crazy that collier has done it already and he's two years younger than stockton was a rookie.

That guy who had all 6 highest APG seasons in the NBA history to himself? That's like not crazy at all...

When you play the worst NBA team who are so desperate to lose the game that they sit down their five best players... then magic happens.

A lot of dudes have played against tanking teams this year; only one has a 22 assist game.

A Jazz team without Keyonte, JJJ, Vince Williams, Nurk... But I guess we'll see some "injuries" going forward as well.

I overheard one of the guys behind me at the game last night say, "Isaiah Collier has 22 assists? Is this the same game I just watched?" I think it was just a matter of not having any other point guard on the roster, so Collier literally had the ball in his hands the whole time.

This.
But we needed to feature the vets for the trade to get JJJ...........

NBA also awards assist on some BS

Definitely part of it. But there is more to it. I think collier set a rookie record for assists or something that season.
He is a good passer if nothing else.

Yes, he is, not trying to downplay it too much.
