We only lost that quarter by 8 points. That’s progress, people. I’m regaining my optimism!

Hardy really needs to get someone on his staff who understands defence, and holds players accountable when they don't play it.

Has anyone else seen that new Hunger Games movie? I thought it was interesting. Obviously a lot of thought went into making it. I wouldn't say it was great, but they picked up the mood and the themes of the last HG series pretty well.

going tonight

seen Oppenheimer ?
more telling of human suffering and angst Kinda like being a Jazz fan

Hoping to see it this weekend.

In fairness, Clarkson is one of the least disciplined players in the league. The Jazz have probably given him too much leash.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Keyonte is essentially playing like Killian Hayes right now.

He probably needs to be more aggressive finding his own shot. I know he is trying to be a PG, but idk, maybe try being aggressive getting a bucket and see how that opens up the passing instead of just trying to be in passing mode all the time.

I didn't see Oppenheimer. I'll have to rent it and plan to watch it in two or three sittings.

Our dancers are 100% better than these clowns.

Who else on this team is creating off the dribble?

They have no choice. You can't put Clarkson on a leash and expect to win any basketball games.

Keyonte *can* play point guard, but I'm not convinced that's his best position. He's not able to create advantages consistently. In a perfect world, he becomes something similar to Devin Booker, imo.

 

[JazzGal]

Sure...

Made me laugh. Then again, I will laugh at anything right now to keep from crying.

Just got my turkey all set up to brine overnight and got the pit barrel ready to smoke in the am. I was planning on relaxing and watching the rest of the game but maybe not... These guys f* suck lol. Oh well it tank 30 I guess.

Edit: 16 turnovers?!? L...o ...l

It's not even close lmao. The Jazz have the worst dancers in the league.

Portland has a troupe of clowns? Really?

Lakers/Mavs and Warriors/Suns are good alternatives at the moment.

I haven't seen it yet. Gotta wait until my mental health improves. Apparently watching Jazz games isn't helping.

He has to learn to do both, nearly everyone has to. Very few players are completely natural at both skills. He has to be a PG at the NBA level. He isnt big enough to be a starting 2 guard.

 

[Step-Back Hook]

Not even my go-to stream works now and looking at the stats even Lauri got married wwith the tank no. **** this ****. Bring back last season!

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Once the Jazz go more into a tanking direction (trading off some vets, playing Hendricks/Brice) Keyonte will probably loosen up a bit more and score. Right now he's just so rigid.

They’re sitting on the visitors’ bench.
