@Tjonesonthenba my whole life I’ve been a cowboys and jazz fan. It all finally came together in one well written masterpiece. Thanks Tony!!!

I honestly think he has a chance to play in the league. He just ate Gonzaga alive in the second half. That was impressive

That dude was crazy good second half tonight. Loved his passing! First round pick?

Mahaney tips the scales for them tho. He’s special. Been a long time since they had a ball in hand guy that talented

St.Mary’s isn’t athletic enough to make a sweet 16 but good job winning the WCC

One of the reasons the Hawks brought their A game to Utah last night. They knew that no matter what, getting Denver on a B2B was unlikely, so they emptied the clip against the Jazz

As I said all week, this was an impossible schedule spot for the Hawks, even before accounting for Trae Young's absence. Every loss causes a meltdown right now, and I get it, but this isn't one to be too upset about. Hawks could've rolled over when they were down 22 and didn't. twitter.com/LockedOnHawks/…

You’re absolutely right in this assessment. But Jarred is a center in Utah’s system and Walker Kessler has made it impossible for the Jazz to keep him off the floor. Thus, You take that asset and try and get assets in return

Which is why I don't understand the idea of moving Vanderbilt. He's young, cheap, great size/length and unique on the roster.

But he said Gallo (0 minutes played) & Pritchard (467 minutes played) & Jackson (107 minutes played)!!! Are you saying those guys aren't the building blocks for the future lol?

The Jazz are placing a heavy emphasis on positional size and length moving forward. Pritchard is a good player but has neither of those attributes

What about Pritchard? Danny likes him

I’m not reporting anything here, but the Jazz from my opinion wouldn’t be interested in anything the Celtics would likely be offered from a player perspective. So unless Boston is throwing in first round picks, I see this as a hard trade to make…just IMO

Jazz fans. the Jazz have had at least one trade discussion with literally every team in the league. So Utah’s going to be a popular name over the next five days.

They fought but Atlanta truly controlled the game all 48 minutes

Just never really felt like the Jazz had a chance from the start. That said still fought. Ochai great game. Mike is getting on a bit of a role offensively scoring wise.

The Jazz fall to Atlanta 115-108 in a game the Hawks controlled from start to finish. Utah falls to 27-27 on the season. The Jazz fall for the first time this week. On to play the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night
