Added to Calendar: 10-31-24

The Spurs have been building a team around tough defense, with Vassel, Sochan, Wemby, now Castle. When that all comes together, it's going to be as tough as the current Celtics, or tougher. The challenge will then be that only a couple of them can shoot.

They still have some work to do. and at Least add 2 good players. CP is washed and will retire before they are good enough so they need a top PG.. And on my opinion another good SF. But yes they are way in advance compared to us. They got Wemby, generational talent and few good and young players around him. My guess is that they will compete in 2 years from now.

Didn't watch the game, anything redeeming? Stat watching maybe Flip was decent? I'll be honest, I'm spiraling with pessimism and negativity about our future rn

I actually like the way Keyonte is playing. He's pressing and making some mistakes, but he plays hard and makes some nice plays.
 
The Spurs went 22-60 two seasons ago when they won the lottery and drafted Wemby. The Rockets were likewise 22-60, but fell in the lottery to #4, where they drafted Amen Thompson. Detroit was 17-65 and had something like a 22-game losing streak that season.

Jazz must be aiming for a 20-win season, tops.
 
I really did enjoy arguing with people who thought we were going to be 8-10th worst. Fun times, full of hope.
 
17 of Cody’s 24 shots are from three to go along with only one shot at the rim and four FTA. It does remind me of Exum. Getting to the basket and scoring is supposed to be their main thing, but the are too physically behind/handle too weak to even use that part of their game. I’m not sure Cody can start developing his offense until he gets his head above water physically or with improved handle. Until then, his offense will probably be mostly spot ups.

Also like Exum, I think his on ball defense is a bright spot and encouraging. It’s about the only thing he can do well, but it’s a nice skill to have.
 
I can’t believe our good fortune! We really did it, we are by far the worst team in the NBA and the consensus choice to win the tank race for last place, yay!!! And though I’d love to change our snake bit draft luck and pull the right ping pong ball, the thought that Cooper Flagg could lead this squad to the promised land is downright idiotic!

It took Coby White in Chicago several years to become consistent. I think Keyonte will get there, even if it's not this year.

Maybe, he had some fairly decent games last year and preseason. Still he’s not much of a floor general and neither is Sexton. I’d sure like to see what a few starts of Collier/Sexton looks like at this point. You can’t tell me that the perimeter defense or the ball distribution would take a hit.
 
Every single Jazz player who stepped on the court (11 different players) recorded a turnover. Thats how you lose to Spurs by 18.

That and Key, JC and Cody all playing like premium tank commanders.
 
Why was the DJ playing music during the gameplay on 2nd half? I don't like it at all. Is it bc Jazz sucks so badly they have to try keep the audience awake?

Me too.
Remember the "we can't tank with Lauri" posts?
We literally tanked our asses off with Lauri the 2nd half of last season.

Maybe people thought that adding Williams and losing tht made us too good lol
