This only served as a reminder of who we really are to those dumb enough to think we are ready to compete. No we aren't.
How do you feel about the coach?
This was an extremely hard watch, I enjoy some of his takes but a lot of what he is saying is false…. He said Lauri struggles vs good teams which I can sort of understand but then goes on to say Portland has a great defense which is false this season if you watch basketball Portland defense ranks 19th. He’s also saying it’s Lauri’s fault for the Jazz offense which isn’t fair we all know Lauri isn’t not a #1 option on a good team but he can definitely be 3rd guy or low end 2nd guy but that doesn’t mean it’s his fault the Jazz have a bad offense! The Jazz have one of the worst starting lineups in the NBA Nurkic or svi wouldn’t start for anyone and the fact the Jazz aren’t even a bottom 8 offense is impressive. He also has no clue what he’s saying when he says it’s Lauri’s fault for the defense that isn’t fair, yes Lauri is not a good defender but he’s being surrounded by all negative defenders nurkic is awful defensively and key ace and Svi are nothing to write home about on defense either the Jazz don’t have any good defenders on their team, including Hendricks who he claims should play minutes at the 5 look at his defensive numbers! Bad… his college basketball knowledge is sub par you can tell he doesn’t watch college basketball much he’s pointing out all the TankAThon stats from players which are PER 36 stats not actual stats… pointing out Philon averaging 27 PPG in college or Wilson’s stats that’s PER 36! Not their actual stats…. Back to the Lauri convo without Lauri the Jazz are 5-6 years away from anything good, with him Jazz should be able to contend within 2-3. Hoopsnerd does have good points and I respect the guy. We can agree the front office with favors was a disaster But let’s not forget what they got for Rudy in the trade two of those draft picks turned out to be Walker Kessler, and Keyonte George! Also being able to bring in Lauri for Donovan was great. He also says how the hawks are better without Trae Young. Does he know the hawks have lost three in a row? And does he know that Trae Young led them to an eastern conference finals? Trae is a negative defender but cmon. I think this guy has solid jazz knowledge but outside of the Jazz I wouldn’t listen to much of his other takes. Trading Lauri would set us back many years you don’t just find seven footers who can space the floor like he can and average 28 points I can’t even imagine how much better he would be on a good jazz team! Pacers wizards Nets kings pelicans are just worse than the Jazz and we can’t control that I think the losses will pile up soon with the Jazz, they will finish in the bottom 5-6 range Jazz have had the 5th easiest schedule in the NBA so far and will have the 2nd hardest from here on out the losses will happen! I hope you know that when the odds were flattened in 2019 the team with the worst record in the nba has never gotten the first pick in the draft! I like this guys channel and I think we need more guys talking and making podcasts about the Jazz! but recently this channel has been a little rough. At least we can agree on one thing which is GO JAZZ
Numbers improve when there are more talent in the roster. Lauri is a great piece and would have more good looks if there would be better players around him. He is the future. Analyzing single games is not the way to go. On a long run he has a great season and together with Keonte the duo is already providing. Ace will be figuring things out if he has minutes together with Lauri and Keonte. We need more talent to form a competitive team. Go Lauri, Go Keonte, Go Ace, go Jazz!
Obviously worst start to an NBA game, that’s pretty bad.
But I’m pretty happy with the fight shown in the rest of the game.
The first step to being a good team is being able to play good sometimes. As time goes on we will become more consistent and have less long scoring droughts.
To your point about signing free agents, I think the Jazz are going to sign somebody solid. It’s never going to be a Giannis or even an all star. But that’s how we landed Bojan a few seasons ago. Players will follow the money, role players especially
Teams must have at least 90% of the salary cap committed to player salaries by the first day of the regular season. If a team falls short, the difference is paid out to that team's players, and the team loses out on league revenue distributions, making it costly to stay under the floor. About 137 million needs to be payed. They need to pay someone. And Utah is not going to attract star caliber free agents.
unfortunately you are right on. I could not send computer email: no computer skills. please send/ forward how to send emall = . wrong address= please reply correct address: i'm harmless. @slc dunk?
Yeah, this team is going nowhere, doesnt matter who we get next year. Poor Lauri wasting his best years with these unpassioned frauds
Utah got their shit pushed in by deuce McBride
Knicks played good defense and the jazz turn the ball over like they’re getting paid to do it.
I miss Larry Miller, who — as an owner — loved the team and showed true passion as a Jazz fan. I got to see the Jazz reach the NBA Finals twice under Larry's leadership. But I don't think I'm going to live long enough to see another. Too many ill-advised decisions have been made since the Gobert / Mitchell trades. I met Larry once — quite by accident — when he cracked me in the head by flinging open the door at his favorite Mexican restaurant in Bountiful. 🤕 😂
When the thunder were tanking do you think they cared about being associated with the “other tankers”?how much less do you think they care about that now?😂
I am sure you know best! Lmao
What exactly should management do? Trade L.M.??
Waiting for your book, "The Art of Tank", to drop.
If you are bipolar, Nerd is a great listen to get you off your Maniac high and completely depress you. Let's hear one more time how dumb Utah management is, I don't think I have heard it yet
I’m trying to get into rooting for the jazz… but this cheer to lose thing is pretty awful for a casual fan. I understand the importance of the draft lottery but 1/3 of the league trying to tank really ruins the sport for me. It’s akin you the corruption of boxing
Actually it was 23-0.
Ok but what do you expect them to do start playing like Terry Rozier on a parlay just blatantly turning the ball over on purpose? start missing shots on purpose? how are you supposed to teach them any principles by which to develop if you are going to want them to actually tank?
