    Just a reminder in case anyone let this game get them down and out, we are on a completely different timeline to Chicago. They’re a veteran team and we are in the first season of our rebuild, in the end their experienced stars took over but I’m happy with what I saw today.

    Especially Ochai! He’s been making the most of his minutes for sure and I’m so excited to continue watching his development this season.

    Trade Clarkson, and give Agbaji minutes

    Markkanen had an all star dunk

    Tank for Victor

    Ochai Agjabi is what I’m stoked on. Blew it in the 4th Quarter and damn boys, please let me know why the FUCK Rudy Gay gets those minutes.

  4. Why Rudy gets as many minutes as he does is beyond me.

  5. Additional_Ad4884

    I feel like Lauri and Agbaji were only players who showed up today.

  6. toaster_inthe_lake

    Tough one. Let’s get the W in Memphis tomorrow

    Ochai was absolutely balling! Love to see him keep it up!

    I never ever ever ever ever EVER want Rudy gay to touch the court as a jazzman ever again. Just done with this old guy taking young guys minutes and having absolutely nothing to show for it. Please please please stop playing him!

    When we get half the free throws the other team gets it’s really hard to win. When the other team shoots nearly 50% from 3 that game is pretty much impossible.

    Honestly proud of our guys playing some good ball, even if it didn’t end in a dub.

    From a Bulls fan, this is one of the few games where we had a FT advantage, do you guys not shoot a lot of FT’s?

  9. Goodfella1133

    Bulls fan here, y’all are so lucky to have Lauri. Fuck Jim Boylen

  10. MegaAltarianite

    Agbaji was looking good on offense but they had him defending Derozan.

  11. Andrewski18

    We are legitimately being held hostage by Rudy Gay’s contract

  12. InNeedOfABetterName

    Honestly Rudy played alright tonight, no need to bash him.

  13. DoubtsAndHopes

    I’m done with the veterans on this team. JC, Olynyk, Conley needs to be traded soon. Rudy Gay should be waived immediately. Let the younger players cook.

  14. rc_cola34

    Honestly man I don’t like to put loses on guys specifically but the mistakes from olynyk beasly and gay absolutely lost us this game.

    Beasly is so dead set on hitting 3’s he just continues to chuck when you’re 0 of 4 maybe go find something else…

    Kelly hasn’t been good since he came back from the ankle. Almost zero offensive impact and he never played defense the turnovers and dumb fouls continue.

    And I know we all hate Rudy gay there’s no reason to go farther than that. This feels like blackmail at this point.

  15. starstealer_

    ochai looking legit 👀 can’t wait to see more minutes from him

  16. coolguysteve21

    Scary loss for the Jazz. If we lose tomorrow and Minnesota wins they officially pass us in the standings

  17. brig_pudding

    There’s not a worse rotation player in the league than Rudy Gay. It’s absolutely embarrassing he’s getting minutes over Simone or literally anyone else.

  18. mrcolty5

    I’m a little frustrated at how many shot attempts we let Clarkson take even on off nights especially when other guys have been wide open (Ochai tonight) or have been better options overall (Lauri obv).

    I’m in the camp that we should move him for more picks if at all possible, I love the man but I think it’s for the best that he gets to contend for a title

  19. KennyDoge0114

    Ochai had a flawless career game, Markkanen was awesome. Everyone else underwhelmed

  20. Inner_Mycologist_689

    By the deadline KO, Rudy, and a guard need to be gone. They’re horrible, and minutes need to open up for the rookies

  21. epoch_fail

    Who is Rudy Gay?

    in math: my division ➗

    in economics: my exception 💸

    in art: my statue 🗿

    in science: my lobotomy 🧠

    in geography: my isolation 🏝️

  22. InNeedOfABetterName

    Conley with -26 tonight, jesus.

    I guess it was bad d and a couple turnovers combined with bad luck with runs

  23. nathanrussellshaw

    Few thoughts:

    Lauri is so good and easily an all star

    Ochai played great and is earning minutes

    Jazz are horrible defensively

    Bulls took advantage of Kelly’s inability to meet them at the point of possession on the screen so it turned into a bucket fest.

    Keeping everything in perspective I really like where the Jazz are at. Hit on a few draft picks and we will have a great team.

    GAME NOTES: (condensed, I was at the game and don’t have my laptop or box score, so it’s all eye test tonight)

    Lauri and Agbaji dude. Both those dudes were insane tonight. I don’t think Agbaji missed, and Lauri had that monster poster on Vuc

    Beasley shot too many 3’s. He wasn’t hitting anything, and should’ve tried to get it going inside then go outside. It hurts because if he hit 2 of em it’s a different game

    Fourth quarter defense was suspect. Conley couldn’t stop anybody, and it was interesting we finished with Agbaji-THT-Lauri-Clarkson-Olynyk. THT played pretty well, but had silly fouls on demar

    Clarkson took all game to get going, and decided to show up majorly in the fourth. Just a shame it wasn’t started a bit earlier

    Really surprised at Hardy’s rotations. THT was first man off the bench tonight, and he played pretty well.

    I’m surprised we didn’t try NAW for defense on lavine. THT and Agbaji could only do so much, and lavine and demar made us pay with our inexperience

    Vando was a rebounding machine. Loved his hustle tonight, I wish we tried playing him down the stretch, or tried him on demar more

    Oh yeah fuck Rudy gay minutes. We need him gone asap. He did surprise me with a few dunks, but I’m tired of seeing him

    Gg bulls

    20-22 bitches

    Love you Lauri my golden child

  25. 19Ninetyfive

    I feel for lauri, he is the only one who is balling in this losing streak. Why can’t we just snatch a win or 2 in this stretch. He maybe feeling frustrated rn.

  26. roofilopolis

    Not everyone agrees, but we need to be tanking. Losing to a team battling with us for draft spots is a win. Good games from the guys we’re building around is a bonus.

  27. SenHeffy

    I’m on team competitive losses at this point. It would be cool to make the playoffs and all, but trades and improved draft odds are a lot more likely to give us all great years in the future.
