As much i hate to say this i will say this still.
Jazz do not deserve Lauri so far Lauri has scored almost half of all Jazz points.
Only thing which can block Lauri's allstar selection is Jazzs losing record and other is injury without those Lauri is allstar very likely.

Jazz have to decide soon what they want for this season.
Is it more tanking and losing or is it learning to win and make Lauri allstar.

If it is more tanking then Jazz better start to take trade offers from Lauri.
If tanking is not priorty then fix that cheese defence and start learn to win games instead of losing them.

Scary to think how many points we’d be down without Markkanen right now. Gotta be the most improved player in the league this year. Be stupid to trade him now!

Well the Hornets will have some incentive to not sign Walker if Kalkbrenner can be their center

Sexton is good for kon. Should be a lot of sexton drives and kick outs to kon this season

Lauri has already won MIP award in his first year ( 2022-2023 ) with the Jazz.
Next should be MVP award but winning that will be much harder because SGA, Doncic etc have also playing well.

Hardy keeps Harkless on the end of the bench so he doesn't have to look him in the eye while he bones him.

Ace got some crazy air on that dunk.

Ya I had made a comment a while ago about how Ace seemed to struggle to elevate.
Looks like it was just the knees/flu.

He looks to have his athleticism back now

Kon would have 0 if Harkless played

 

[MTS]

Hardy: “I will poke and prod and dig and sub and flip the team upside down until I find people that want to play hard."

Then proceeds to give Harkless 0 minutes while the team no-shows against the Hornets without Lamelo Ball.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Cody gets 4 mins here and 4 mins there, no shot attempts.

 

[Jiipee84]

Tomorrow Jazz plays vs Celtics.
Should Hardy let Lauri play another 35-37 mins or should he give rest for Lauri.

Tatum is out whole year due to achilles-tendon injury but Brown is playing.
Jazz will lose that one too so what should be Jazz game-plan vs Celtics.

The Jazz got down 20 early. Hardy probably thought we needed more offense than defense to catch up. But I do want to see Harkless with more minutes and more of a role. We just need more minutes to guys who can play defense.
