Kessler out for the Jazz.
I'm hoping they are in full tank mode now and rest Markkanen too.
We desperately need this win, and the Jazz desperately need a loss.
Let's go Lakers!!!

Just a crappy end to that first Q.
Hopefully we play a little bit of D the rest of the way

Up by 11 at the half.
Play better D at the 3rd and add more to that lead so that AD and Bron can rest.

This version of AD mentally is scary. Unfortunately since 2020, every time he's been on this level mentality he's gotten injured. (knock on wood). Going to the playoffs with this version of AD gives us a chance against any team in a 7 game series.
And no I'm not particuarly impressed by this first half against a Jazz team that's obviously content with missing the play-in, but I'm more talking about AD's body language, energy level, etc in the past couple of weeks, not just the first half tonight. Lebron's injury has weirdly been a blessing in disguise, obviously in hindsight.

Schroder is starting to get on my nerves

Bad defense for the third quarter.
Bad things happened right after Reaves got out of the game.
Lucky to still lead by four.
Reaves coming back in the game restored a little order.
Finish the game with AD, Bron, Rui and Reaves. Everybody else is not playing well.

Lebron really bad starting the 4th.

Back to back turn overs by LBJ to start the 4th .
Than a charge by Rui.
Bad execution all the way around

We look really flat .
Got to get some energy back because this is the most winnable game of this back to back for us

OT. If we lose this game we don't even deserve to be in the play in.

What a meltdown. Overtime, possible loss, and then having to play the clippers tomorrow.

Unbelievable .
Heading into OT after leading by 10 with less than two minutes left

Our D in the second half has been pathetic

Ugly win but I'll take it.
Reaves the only bright spot.
Rui was good if given time to play.
AD missing close baskets and @ crucial freethtows.
Bron got trigger happy ill advised 3s.
Reaves should facilitate more than Schroeder. I think Dennis takes too much time handling the ball.

Man, short of flat out losing, that was not a pretty terrible way to kick off the front end of a back to back. I’ll be stunned if AD or Lebron play tomorrow which sucks.
