We should aim higher and reach 13/13 3-pts in the first half this game.

Thegame's all about improvement you know.

Let's see if last game was for real or just an anomaly.

Utah is no joke. A top5 NBA team in my book. Their record is not some over-achievement.

Need this win if we are going to make a push at that 5th seed. I think we win today.

Gobert and Favors both out should mean a field day for Russ, but we always seem to play teams close when they're down starters.

Why are we playing Christon? He's the worst player in the NBA. First he blows a wide-open driving layup, because he sucks, then he stupidly frustratingly fouls a Jazz player 94 feet from the basket to put the Jazz in the bonus because he sucks and he's stupid.

On another note, the possession before the Joe Ingles dribbled around awkwardly like the big goofy white guy that he is, lost the ball two times with Kanter defending him, finally is able to get enough forward momentum to get almost to the FT line, pulls up with Kanter still defending him well, and buries the jumper. Because of course he did.

Ingles pulling some doo-doo out of his butt and Christon being the worst player in the NBA cost us an eight point lead after the 1st quarter; instead, t's a four point lead.

Oh, and when did Dante Exum finally turn into a competent NBA player?

It's more that most of the league under-achieved, or just plain sucked.

The real decision the Jazz FO is making is between Continuity, Cap Flexibility, and Cash Considerations.

Dipo has such a smooth jumper. He's going to be insane when he peaks.

Christon misses an open three on one end and let's his man blow by him for a layup on the ensuing Jazz possession.

Nothing like having to suffer through 6-10 minutes per game with the worst player in the NBA on the floor playing for your team.

They have no rim protection. At all.

But we're not running pick and rolls. Classic. Just classic.

Everything Sabonis and Abrines do on the defensive end is always a foul. Refs give them some serious rookie treatment.
