GT#39 - Raps @ Jazz - Jan 12, 2024 - 9:30PM EST

[Chandan]

damn near 150 put on them lol

entire team should be ashamed

this is SHAME. THis is absolute CRAP. How we supposed to play this game? If they had to win, we should have stayed home and ate pizza!

[Mark_83]

I'm a fan of Porter's but I just know some Bobby/Masai fan boy is going to use finding him as vindication for the terrible pick Gradey is looking like.

[rarefind]

We had a lotto pick in a loaded draft and ended up with a shooter who shoots bricks worse than me

To be fair we drafted a shooter who doesn't want to shoot.

[SurgeIblocka]

Only good thing tonight is Pascal scored to showcase for a trade and Mcdaniels played well to be considered as a throw in

[HiJiNX]

Especially when basically your entire team doesn't try at all from the jump.

Utah isn’t one of the hottest teams in the league? We aren’t at the end of a long road trip, playing four games in six nights against top teams in the West?

Clearly the team was tired. Look how many layups they missed and they weren't even close. Our D ain’t great but this looks like a tired team tonight. Everybody.

This team didn't try at all tonight. You can make excuses for it but it is what it is.

I may be wrong but I’m gonna guess my reasons are more likely to be true than a bunch of professional basketball players collectively just decided not to try tonight.

[Statistician MK]

Jazz' bench 80 pts.
Raptors' starters 65 pts.

[rarefind]

Brutal effort.

[SurgeIblocka]

Our scouting staff is broken

[TheRealDeal]

4 points from RJ. Knicks fans warned us

[Chandan]

this team needs 2 years of tanking to get more talent.

[Starr1]

As impress as IQ has been. I will kick him on the bench to develop better and find a starting pg. iQ plays too slow for a guy who is supposed to be fast… u can’t play scared in this league and be successful

[bballsparkin]

woulda been nice had Dick made that three. seemed like a gimmee

[rarefind]

Gradey Dick looks like an undrafted rookie not a lottery pick.

[Hackett]

Pascal's body language kind of says someone has been anointed as the leader of the team but it was not him... so he is stepping back and letting the leader lead, and there seems to be crickets.

He didn't lead when he was supposed to be the leader, so what would he be stepping back from?

Don't know brother, his body language is off, sitting on the end of the bench not talking to anyone... not the spicy I remember.

[rarefind]

Our scouting staff is broken

Our coaching staff is broken too.

team high 7 rebounds at least

Sometimes the other team is just better than you.

yeah it was a confluence of events.
its too bad the trade was made right before a big road trip; it sets great expectations. my hope was 3-3; they went 2-4. could've easily been 3-3 if we weren't screwed over by the refs in sac or LA
gotta brush it off and start fresh at home.

Professional basketball players decide not to try all the time, especially on bad teams (and this one is particularly bad). I take it you weren't a fan of the Raptors in the bad years?

He's played one bad game, give it a rest.
