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.

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.

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

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.

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

Always sucks to lose especially after blowing such a lead but if it takes Luka and Reaves combining for 81 points on 24/32 shooting, 12/23 from three and 21/24 from the line to beat us, that means we’re a good team.

DP needs to learn tho, made a lot of really bad mistakes. You can see the talent, I feel he’d do better coming off the bench rn as he’s someone who wants a lot of touches, he should try try to lead the second unit

Yes the officiating was leaning towards the Lakers, but I don't think it was quite as bad as everyone is saying. I thought that overall, we played pretty well. We do need to figure out rotations more, and DP needs to come off the bench. I love DP, but he just does not belong out there with the starters right now. Once Nurkic comes back, this team will look a lot better imo. Also, there is no reason we should be running a 5 man lineup of bench players against Luka late in the 3rd in a close game. JJJ iso's from the 3 are also not it.

I still think we played pretty good though, and I am not mad about the loss. Come December I think this team will be much better.

The team is looking very good to start the season off and I am hoping they can continue to work together for the rest of the season. No need to raise the expectations to the roof and get let down if they lose a few games. It seems like everyone has a part to play and I’m excited as a fan for this year. Go Jazz 🎶

What happened to the MC guy?? Anyone know??

Why is he not getting any minutes? With Nurk out it would seem that this is the best possible time for him to be getting 2nd unit minutes. Why did we sign him if we aren’t going to play him? I know he’s viewed as sort of an NBA pariah but he looked good in Summer League. Am I missing something?

Just want the cheapest option that will allow me to watch Jazz/Mammoth games. Vizio QLED TV if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance!
