Ace Bailey 5 stocks. Very impressive game from him
Keyonte showed why he goes second in a 2023 NBA redraft. I knew yesterday was a fluke due to the illness, which is why I defended him yesterday.
Walt Lake has played solid recently
The tank doesn’t improve, but it’s not really a big deal because this game proves the Rockets are frauds, and KD will never win a real ring in his career. FTR
Okay fine. If we’re not gonna tank then let’s go trade for some talent and do this thing!
No waffling in the middle tho. Either we’re in or we’re out
Say it with me folks, one letter at a time.

We’re watching these guys grow up, and it’s awesome.
Great bounceback game, especially from Lauri and Key. Ace continues to look terrific. Really wonderful ball movement and defensive effort all around. Lowkey really nice games from Walt and Flip as well.
But, man… the Jazz are in such a weird spot. Tanking is strategically the smart move, but this is exactly the sort of development you want to see out of the young players and you don’t want to stifle that. We should be ecstatic about a win against the Rockets but we have that top 8 protected pick hanging over our heads… what can the Jazz even do here?
Very excited for the next 3 days of “doesn’t the team know we need to tank” “if we don’t tank our future is over..” “we need to trade Lauri to tank.”
Who knows what the future holds it’s not up to me whether this team is bad or not. But, got damn a win against Houston feels good.
(I really hope we don’t lose our pick)
I mean, can you be mad at winning with all the young guys playing really good? I can’t
Those Kevin Love minutes at the end of third really cut into our lead. He’s a tanking asset.
Love to see the young guys get a W but we can’t give OKC our pick
FTR
This was my first Jazz game after being a fan for 15 years (east coast). That was awesome!!
I hate that the pick situation makes me feel sour about wins like this. I was trying not to worry about it until like January or February but man, I’m kinda worried already because it’s really bad that we really don’t look that bad lol
I’m for the tank but a win like this is good for the young players from time to time. They took the lead in the 2nd quarter and never gave it up.
It’s still a long season. We still only have Nurkic in the middle and who knows if he can stay healthy with all the minutes he’s getting. Cody, Taylor, Brice and WCJ are still figuring things out. Flip hasn’t had a breakout game yet.
