[NUMBERICA]

How many times did last year's "contender" play with that kind of focus and intensity down the stretch of a game? 1? 2?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I haven't seen Will Hardy make any meaningful coaching errors, and this was just his second game.

KAT was hospitalized not that long ago.

He did it through his career

 

[LogGrad98]

No one would have called us winning both of these opening games.

 

[Bodhi]

My bold prediction that the Jazz will have a winning record after 20 games is looking good. Did anyone have a bolder prediction than that?

Christ man, give it a ****ing rest

 

[outerspacefan]

We gonna be 81-0 and some of you gonna still be calling for the tank.

But you don't understand, this is OUR tank season!

 

[Elizah Huge]

I’ve seen enough to confidently say Hardy > Quin.

 

[silesian]

Thank god Quin turned down the extension. He knew he lost the team.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

@JazzAvenues you got this?

 

[Bodhi]

There are other players in the draft and a 14% chance at the greatest prospect in history. Losing out on that would be, yeah, I think a pretty big regret. Jazz will never be positioned like this again and they ****ed it up at the goal line.

36 yard line at best man.

Goal line? Stop.

 

[Jingled]

The previous era's team would have lost this game 10 times out of 10.

Donovan and his hero ball would've made sure of that.

 

[jazzfanWA]

I don't think I expected a 2 game win streak at all this year, much less the first 2 games, both against teams expected to be really good.

I'm very confused. Like the time I walked in on my grandfather in high heels and stockings...

Why were you wearing that?

 

[NUMBERICA]

I haven't seen Will Hardy make any meaningful coaching errors, and this was just his second game.

Most of the reason that rotations get locked in no matter how much it doesn't make sense to us is locker room politics. Hardy hasn't had to deal with any of that, but he likely will and will likely do some of what coaches do 99% of the time; have rigid rotations.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Also, that Lauri Markkanen 12-footer is probably going be the Jazz's go-to play. No chance Austin Rivers was going to contest.

 

[JazzMan4Life]

I was looking forward to a season where I could watch a couple games, catch the highlights and not spend hours every other night over a game.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Conley is averaging 12.5 PPG, 9.5 APG and 2 SPG to start the season. He’s washed for sure.

Goal line? Stop.

Dumping our vets to the Lakers was in the process. That got ****ed that up and they promised Bogey they would trade him before camp, so they did.

If Tony Jones is to be believed, the Jazz passed on 1 of those picks for a bunch of our dudes.

 

[Avery]

NBA Twitter is trying to understand how this happening.

We have a down payment still, no?

 

[Elizah Huge]

I remember someone telling me that Minnesota was going to have the best defense in the league with Gobert and McDaniels (lolz). We just dropped 132 on their asses.
