[Hearsky]

Steve Ballmer is only friends with other guys that also look like aliens.

I have a bad feeling that Jazz is going to be the worst three-point shooting team in the entire league, but that could build well for having a top pick

We won't be

After Keyonte's made 3 with 4:21 left in the game, here are the following Jazz possessions until there were 28 seconds left in the game:

- Luka Samanic gets his shot blocked
- Luka Samanic misses 3
- Simone Fontecchio misses 2
- Luka Samanic misses 3
- Luka Samanic misses 3
- Simone Fontecchio hits 2 FTs
- Simone Fontecchio misses 3
- Simone Fontecchio made 3

Luka/Simone do not pass. They just don't.

It's very annoying to watch.

Clarkson, Markkanen and Olynyk will kick in. We should at least be average.

Good news is the starting lineup became pretty clear today, THT/Clarkson

 

[FalseFlagg K]

trade Collin plz

Too late at this point. Just put him in the role he can be great at, 6th man.

It's painful watching Sexton trying to be the PG people want him to be. He just has to be himself

I mean, Simone is a shooter. He kind of has to shoot it if he's open. If he's not shooting it, he's useless.

Samanic is different as he's supposed to be a more dynamic player.

Kinda disappointed that I didn’t get to see the boys tonight. I’d just re-upped on my League Pass looking forward to watching it all day and 7:00 finally arrives and instead of the game I get the message that the game is blacked out in my area. I’m used to that here in Vegas for the LA teams but Ballys West aren’t playing any preseason Clippers for some reason.

Anyway long story short, just checked the Box Score, happy for THT. Seems like one of the guys we better start thinking about extending.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I remember how preseason last year had me 100% convinced the Jazz were definitely going to be a bottom 3 team - and then the regular season started and they crushed Denver at home before going 10-3 to start the season. I’m not reading into too much until there’s actually something to play for.

I still think the best lineup is going to be THT, Clarkson, Markkanen, Collins and Kessler with George, Sexton, Agbaji, Hendricks and Olynyk all getting considerable playing time as well.
