Man I love boler but it’s getting to the point where it’s hard to ignore the constant mistakes on the mic. I don’t know if it’s a vision thing or a mental thing but his age is starting to show, he’s mixed up peterson and collier so many times, and the schedule read was just painful. Idk man. I just feel like he wasn’t always like this.

TL:DR: injuries suck but the light is at the end of the tunnel, Ainge/Smith aren't trying to just make the Jazz bad forever and you guys will be competitive for a long ass time, this season is just the building block.

I travel the states a lot for work and run into Jazz fans a ton, I watch the Jazz as my 2nd or 3rd team and got to watch reruns of all of this season's games so far including tonight's live (my T-Wolves were on tho and choked).

"you can't tell a team who's tanked four years to be patient" yes I can actually you aren't Minnesota who had to watch 15 years of meaningless slop, you guys strategically tanked into Ace Bailey who's a legit future superstar and got lucky as fuck in getting Darryn who I can't believe people are already getting low on.

Injuries absolutely suck and y'all got done wrong in the luck category losing Lauri and JJJ, both might be out a bit, you guys are GOING to start bad. It wasn't an if, there wasn't a world where a team who barely played together would gel immediately. You're not tanking, Danny and Austin didn't fake injure your guys and I can't believe I talk to fans who actually think the Jazz are still tanking despite not owning their pick.

Utah still has a boatload of moveable picks to gain leverage in trade, they got a trade exception out of Walker Kessler that will almost guaranteed be used just like the Collins one that the same casuals said the Jazz wouldn't use, even Phoenix fans who are another fanbase I criticize sometimes, are never this negative. These Jazz fans who I'm referencing hated the whole roster that was built including Walker Kessler, but suddenly wanna act like they made a huge mistake trading him.

Social media fans are raging at the team and why? Because it's been a rough start, I get it, it sucks, but holy FUCK if you guys can't see how composed and see the oozing potential of Darryn, Ace and Keyonte, I don't know what to say. The Jazz are going to be back, they would've been 2-2 right now without the injuries and 2-2 is a lot better than 1-3.

They're going to improve, there will be bad stretches but if you just stop quite frankly Bitching about Will Hardy and Danny Ainge and give it a month, you'll get to witness a young team start making runs, and these things are going to grow. Apologies for me sounding negative Jazz bros but as someone who isn't a homer for Utah and was a massive fan during the Deron years and a hater during the Mitchell years, I had to get this off my chest.

Also buy those damn tickets so I don't have to hear those fraud laker casuals in the Delta center again

Edit: also I'm not kidding, most people are still way too low on DP (and even Cam Boozer), Darryn is doing things you don't see guys get till year 3+ and once his shot is consistent, you have an all star there, maybe an all NBA guy

Just wanted to point out some silver linings even though it’s been a tough start to the season and now have injuries to our best players which is incredibly frustrating.

-Key is the real deal and worth every penny to his new contract

-Ace has been doing it all, amazing team player with a high IQ that’s been surprising me as this is just his second year but already looks like a true vet out there, facilitating and stepping up as a explosive scorer when he needs to be.

-DP absolutely looks like he belongs out there even as a rookie. He will only improve and his shot will start falling with some consistency, so far he handles the ball well and distributes capably to others as a backup PG. I feel like he’ll be a star one day.

I know it hasn’t been an ideal start but season is still so early, I still feel like we’ll turn it around.

As simple as it sounds.

But man, seeing Lauri go down with that injury is so frustrating. That's the last thing I wanted to see.

It's only been three games, and I think there's still a lot of chemistry to build and figuring out how everyone plays off each other. I feel like everyone could be better, but that's something that will take time.

That being said, it's definitely been frustrating to watch so far. We've had some promising stretches, but the early impressions do matter, and there's still plenty to work on.

Whether we win or lose tonight's game, I still believe in what this team can become. We just have to be patient and give them time to figure things out.

Hopefully Lauri is fine, though. I was expecting a lot from him this season, and I don't want that to go down the drain.

I love Will, have faith in the team even with a rough start but what on the Captain MF'ing Planet???

Lauri, JJJ out - two of our three offensive pillars. And Brice gets nine minutes.

I was really impressed with Josh Green but how do the Josh's get 46 minutes and Brice gets *9* and subbed out after dropping a couple threes when we most needed it? I was so bummed to see a lineup of Zay, Green, Okogie, Svi and Mo. That is not how you win games in this NBA.

Unleash Brice. This team desperately needs a 3pt killer.

Kelly Olynyk scored 38 points and 12 rebounds for Italy the other night, and Omer Yurtseven's Turkiye went undefeated in the World Cup qualifiers. The last time Jazz were competitive both players were on the team.

Now, when the heck are we getting minutes for Mo Bamba?!?

Can we please guard this guy tonight? If another guard goes for 45+ I am going to lose it. There are two things every team must do in order to win basketball games regularly.
1 - play efficient offense.
2 - play hard/smart DEFENSE.
Not sure if our team has heard of the second thing or not. Doesn’t seem like it. It involves moving your feet to stay in front of your man. Putting your hands up in the passing lanes and to pressure the shooter. Knowing your assignment and where to help your teammates. It takes effort and never taking a play off. Defensive plays hardly ever make the Sportscenter top 10 plays, but I promise, they are just as important as the highlight dunk.

Bad habits and unproven talent. When we were trying to lose our opponents took the night off. We have no idea what potential any of these guys really have yet.

Just wanted to shoutout these guys tonight. They haven't had many minutes so far, still had a lot of impact. Almost got the dub. Strong vibes. Made the most out of it. Appreciate it!

Lakers fan coming in peace holy shit this kid is special. His raw talent oozes off the screen and he has a beautiful shooting stroke. Once he dials in his playmaking he’s a future all star IMO …. future looks bright with him and I also like Ace Bailey’s potential too. Lots to be excited about in Utah

At one point we had a line up of Collier, Svi, Bryce, Hayes, and Okogie on the floor. We are not in tank mode anymore! I want to see Darryn Peterson lead the offense with the second unit. Not stand in the corner all game. DP should absolutely have some minutes leading the second unit instead of Collier.

Darryn Peterson is currently averaging around 12 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds in his first 3 games. Those are MVP numbers!

15 points in the first quarter, then barely got the ball the rest of the game. Would love to see us run more plays for him, especially when he's got it going like that.

Anyone else feel the same?

Watched the game coverage but noticed a few guys leaving straight away after the game. Didn’t see a lot of love for Walker. Did they have a video tribute? I’m not complaining btw just curious

Some of the worst calls I've ever seen given to Luka and Reaves.

Enough said
