Markannen looking good with 18 a third of the way into the game. Butter.

I know Zach Lavine makes a lot of money, but I wonder what he thinks about all of this losing basically wherever he goes.

Did Cam Johnson and MPJ did a faceoff ala Nicolas Cage/John Travolta? Now Cam’s like Denver MPJ and MPJ’s like Brooklyn’s Cam

Bronny and Dennis Smith in the same backcourt is just nasty work by JJ.

9 Bulls have scored tonight (at least 7 points) and they are continuing their trend of sharing the basketball (34 assists on 47 field goals) led by Giddey.

Blazers full court press is tough, but prone to stupidity. 2nd technical tonight for fouling before the ball was inbounded.

These g league minutes are tough to watch. Bronny especially doesn’t look like he belongs.

The Jazz are on pace to score 150 points against the Blazers' great defense.

They are also on pace to surrender 150 points against the Blazers' terrible offense.

Back-to-back offensive boards + layups for Kessler. He's active and engaged.

They've been pretty similar players. The point of the trade was that Cam makes enough less money so that Denver could afford a couple useful bench guys.

RJ bringing up Reaves' 6 FTA in the quarter as if they weren't deserved.

Utah still overwhelmingly winning the Svi minutes. He'd look good on a team that wants to win this year.

First time head coach Doug Christie just yanked his starters who were in the process of coming back from down 16 with 90 seconds left. :dontknow:
