Both JC’s gone and they still won. Does Walker Kessler impact winning more than any other Jazz player at this point?
Only watch these videos when we win…. Such joy from David and Ron…
Fun win. Confidence builder. Vision of what's possible when everyone's assertive and on their toes. Opportunity for good looks at Martin and Springer. All without John Collin's 18.4 Pts 8.1 Reb 1.1 Blocks and other intangibles. Cody probably slept better after a game than he has in a long time. Keyonte is demonstrating admirable character. Interesting to have 2 new guys in the mix and not have execution fall apart. A good coach has much to do with this win, I think.
What really happened when Jeff Green played for the Jazz? The dude looked washed for Utah, but has played great for everyone else in the years since. Was it a personality conflict with Quin? Did he just hate Utah?
I love Booner, but seriously how many times do you think he’s said “Walter Kessler”? I’m assuming David has just given up trying to correct him…
