Perfect game by the Jazz. Competed yet still lost.

Thank god we are playing the Bulls. Shooting 26% from the field and only down 5.

This is Mann's game to show he still has it

I feel like I see this post made by a Jazz fan at least once a week. The Jazz have mastered the art of tanking.

I think Zach just realized that Zubac isn't playing today and started owning the lane. Dude went on a tear.

A let down on a segababa, why am I surprised

Lue needs to play Bones, Kai, Cam and Jordan. There's no energy with the starters, and Harden is gassed. Played the entire second half last night. Was hoping it would be a Flag 2 on him just to force him to rest.

Hats off to the Bulls to come in and dominate, even while also being on a segababa

Sadly, it's the least broken of everyone playing tonight :lol:

Man, Clips shot themselves in the foot this game and don't deserve it, but this inconsistent whistle is jokes.

Clippers should have dropped this game. Just going to wear them down trying to win after that run. How many minutes is Harden going to play??

With the lack of energy, not sure why Lue just didn't go Bones-Cam-Jordan-Flowers-Kobe for the fourth

Agree. I mean the signs were there of tired legs all game. Shots were all short. Mind boggling really

So how bad is Giddey? He has to be one of the worst players in the league.

How many whistles, stoppages, reviews..this is terrible it kills the game flow and viewing experience.

eh, he is fine. nothing to write home about but not as bad as folks say.

He was dogsh#% in the Portland game but has 18/9/8 tonight.

His rebounding is actually super helpful since Patrick Williams isn't able to rebound to save his life and he is our starting PF.

The passing is really helpful for Vucevic as well. Who has had a great season so far.

His layups are ugly but usually aren't an issue since he is long enough against most coverage.

I would pay him 15 of the 30 mil a year he wanted.

God DAYUM Zach. Hell of a shot

ejftw · Post #139 » by **ejftw** » Tue Jan 21, 2025 5:54 am

Seems like Lue just mailed this one in, which makes no sense as to why he overplayed Harden, when he's been absolutely putrid (as expected after playing 40 the night before, including the entire second) and Norm.

Porter and Harden combined to shoot 6-27 from the field and 3-16 from three.

Zach is so much fun to watch. Dude is a bucket.

Who wins?
