Go Jazz!!!

 

[SteakNEggs]

Oh... I didn't think we played tonight, nice.

 

[homeytennis]

And tomorrow too.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

LaVine has been shooting and moving very well lately. We really don't have anyone to guard him (we don't really have anyone to guard ANY good SG).

Expecting Zach to drop 40 on us.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Markkanen is just off of a 49-point game and is playing the best basketball of his life. You would think Hardy would run a set or two for him in the first half of the first quarter but why would he?

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Terrible start

 

[LogGrad98]

Good hell we look like we are walking around in mud out there. No aggression, zero activity, no cuts, weak screens, are we asleep? Gotta wake the **** up.

 

[Conestoga Finn]

Bulls audience won't hate Lauri.

Lauri remember to make it as home audience.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

Good 3 point contest so far!!

That's one of my pet peeves about Hardy. He's stubborn.

He has this idea that there are no stars on this team and he's sticking to it. Only mistakes have consequences.

Kelly Olynyk's bum *** was good for two things: Flopping and shooting 3's.

He's shooting 29% from 3 since the start of December.

Yeah. **** those lazy 3's.

Yeah they haven't really done that all season. Hardy doesn't seem to have any sets designed to get a specific player a good look. His offense is just focused on moving around chaotically in the hopes that someone ends up open. It's worked ok so far this year, but to really take advantage of their best players he needs to get some kind of plan to get Lauri some good touches.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Lauri said **** this I’ll do it myself lol.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Lauri is a ****ing beast. 3 dunks already. They can’t guard him.

 

[MT Steve]

Great D by Lauri.

Too bad the ref guessed there must have been a foul despite not seeing it.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Terrible lob by THT and Lauri still almost dunked it lol.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

I can't deal with all these phantom fouls.

Just let them play. PLEASE.

 

[MT Steve]

So it's one of those whistles tonight.
