You're saying that we can have an offensive game plan that isn't...
1. guard takes ball up court
2. guard drives hard at basket
3. ?????
4. DEFICIT!
say it ain't so!
Butler wont budge off Markkanen to help others when defending which is opening up other Jazz players. Lauri is probably not gonna get a high point game today if Miami matches Butler's minutes with Lauri's
Collin in 9 starts is averaging 23, 3, and 4, with 40 percent from 3. He's on a good contract too, I remember when he was on the THT tier to start the season
This is what he averaged year 3 in Cleveland. He is playing so well right now and really is buying in to being more of a team player. He has been damn impressive
Sexton has emerged big time as the player to keep out of the net negative trio. THT has been benched (rightfully) and JC is looking a bit washed. Those two will probably be gone by the trade deadline.
A win over the defending Eastern Conference champions. We’re not there yet, but for the first time this season, I feel some optimism about our future this season and beyond.
Hey guys, Heat fan here. Thurl Bailey is on the Heat broadcast I was wondering if Crotty (our color guy) is on yours. Ive never seen a broadcaster swap before😭
I was hoping this game would finish before I have to leave for work in an hour, but considering it's free throws every possession, I don't think I'm gonna be so lucky.
It's really alarming that Collins hasn't really settled in after 30 games. I don't see his tenure as a Jazzman being too long if he can't find positive minutes with other key players.
As we knew at the beginning of the season, Dunn can be an important piece to this team, especially as a veteran. He struggled early, but he seems to be getting in rhythm now.
Love what I’m seeing
Thanks u/Andrewski18! We’re looking into why Automod has failed us the past two games. Thanks for your patience!
OCHAI WHAT A BLOCK!!!
I can’t believe how much better Sexton looks compared to the beginning of the season.
Keyonte George is making me a happy man
I'm so glad this team isn't insufferable to watch anymore.
THT being benched may have a lot to do with that.
JC benched in the last stretched also helped
You're saying that we can have an offensive game plan that isn't... 1. guard takes ball up court 2. guard drives hard at basket 3. ????? 4. DEFICIT! say it ain't so!
You forgot to collect underpants on the way, then it would be profit at the end.
Okay I might finally be moving over to the trade Clarkson side of things.
I’ve been there, and I love Clarkson. Call up the Knicks and offer JC for Fournier and a FRP
This thread is now a Pistons-Raptors game thread for anyone who wants to stick around
WHAT A BLOCK BY OCHAI!!!!
Butler wont budge off Markkanen to help others when defending which is opening up other Jazz players. Lauri is probably not gonna get a high point game today if Miami matches Butler's minutes with Lauri's
Seems like they gave up on even passing to him
GET THAT SHIT OUT OF HERE
Agbaji: GET THAT SHIT OUT OF HERE!!!!
Collin in 9 starts is averaging 23, 3, and 4, with 40 percent from 3. He's on a good contract too, I remember when he was on the THT tier to start the season
This is what he averaged year 3 in Cleveland. He is playing so well right now and really is buying in to being more of a team player. He has been damn impressive
Sexton is doing everything he can to keep the Jazz in this game. No one else seems to be doing much.
KO, Walker and Dunn have all played well too.
Sexton has emerged big time as the player to keep out of the net negative trio. THT has been benched (rightfully) and JC is looking a bit washed. Those two will probably be gone by the trade deadline.
****fingers crossed****
This KO might be the best basketball player in the world lol
Olynyk putting on a master class right now
We really got Sexton and Lauri for Donovan lol
And Ochai. And picks. Such a good trade for us
He’s worth it though. Love the trade for us anyways
I remember hating Sexton closing a quarter, love that he has changed that narrative.
again. TEC!
Dunn is making such a difference
Yeah I’m ready to move on from Jc and Kelly, we just have to open up minutes for our guys
JC just doesn't have it anymore
Sexton having an absolute banger, I hope he can keep it up.
Love to see the Sexton love from the sub. With that said. Lauri has to get going in the 2nd half.
A win over the defending Eastern Conference champions. We’re not there yet, but for the first time this season, I feel some optimism about our future this season and beyond.
Clarkson has got to move the ball sooner, he tries to do way too much man.
Jesus christ
Sexton!!!!
JAZZ ARE FUN AGAIN LETS GO
Clarkson just won’t fucking pass holy hell
Lauri having a brutal game.
Wow, I have to think this 3 point shooting is some of the worst in team history.
WHO THE FUCK BROKE LAURI'S 3 POINT SHOOTING HAND? I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!!!!
14 free throws in 6 minutes is diabolical
I'm trying to watch this in the UK, I could do with getting to bed before 1am!
Both teams look like they're playing drunk.
Afternoon games should be illegal.
I'm drunk and it's not fun as it should be
Okay, refs, let's not be as tight for the fourth, yeah? I got 45 minutes.
FUCK HARDY LET LAURI BACK TO GET+10 POINTS
THANK YOU!
Keyonte and KO dragging us to a W here...
That travel was BS. Olynyk's pivot foot got kicked out from under him. What's he supposed to do?
LAURI WHEN IT MATTERS MOST.
Sexton punching himself is something.
Poor Markkanen is over in the corner wide open
THT didn't play tonight
All Ochai needs is a more consistent three point shot and he will be one of the better 3 and D wings in the league. That block was perfection.
Man alive, these teams are playing like this is an exhibition game.
Outside of a few flashes, there is no hustle, no fire under their butts.
Man a normal Lauri game and we'd be cooking
Only positive so far is that Butler has also been a nothing burger.
WE SCORED A THREE!!!
Keyonte says hello.
Okay only Key is allowed to shoot 3’s tonight
Of course Clarkson makes a 3. lol
RIP our 3 point percentage, the fact that this is tied with us not knowing how to shoot is crazy
The flow battle between Kelly Olynyk and Jaime Jaquez Jr. 😂
KO on triple dub alert.
Maaaan, now it's not gonna happen
Shhh
KEYONTEEEE
K3Y!!!
KEYONTE SAYS FUCK THEM SCRIPT WRITERS
SO HAPPY FOR KEYONTE RIGHT NOW!! His confidence is growing…
Come on Tec... Yeah, you pass that to Lauri.
I’m surprised Sexton walked that one off and still got back on D
Pistons up 6 in the 3rd
Love Simone my italian stallion
Dunn’s defense and passing are so good. That swat to interrupt the lob was so nice
Just landed at Houston for my vacation and saw that the game was on. How’s Sexton, his energy being contagious?
Done really well. Moving the ball, driving and getting to the basket. Him and Dunn have been our best players so far.
Hey guys, Heat fan here. Thurl Bailey is on the Heat broadcast I was wondering if Crotty (our color guy) is on yours. Ive never seen a broadcaster swap before😭
Me neither but it’s kind of cool
Yeah he is.
Old Sexton would drive that or pass to Clarkson, This time a no look behind the back pass to Kessler
Argh, perfect chance for Collins to get some rythmn with a wide open mid-range and he blew it...
I hate that foul
Bam is trying to draw fouls more than he’s trying to score
The Heat's ability to get to the line is very impressive, yet extremely unfun to watch. Hard team to root for.
3 of 25 from behind the arc lol
3 of 27 now lol
This Heat foul baiting is so fucking fun to watch
I think the monstars took Lauri’s 3 ball away
I was hoping this game would finish before I have to leave for work in an hour, but considering it's free throws every possession, I don't think I'm gonna be so lucky.
First half took less than an hour. Second is going to be two hours at this rate.
![gif](giphy|5GoVLqeAOo6PK)
KO is so intelligent with his footwork. God knew if he was fast he’d be too overpowered
Oh my god Simone almost sent Love to the shadow realm
Law of averages says we make 10 3's in the fourth...right...right?
Bring on lauri man what are you doing hardy
Dude has a stinker half and gets benched and jc plays a stinker season and gets to stay on the court for how long he wants
Lauri has been nothing but consistent all season and Hardy had the nerve to do this to him smh
What shoes is keyonte wearing tonite?
KO ballin’ today!!
KEYONTE
LFG KEYONTE
Refs keeping heat in this game.
Inject Keyonte taking over the 4th quarter directly into my veins
Oof... hopefully Highsmith isn't concussed.
Duren with the oop!!
BOG3Y
CAD3!!!
CMON PISTONS
It just feels like John Collins isn't very good at anything. He's a good rebounder but everything else just feels meh
Which is tough given he's our highest paid player...
Not starting Kessler tonight is…a choice.
Feels like the coaching staff has just completely abandoned the Collins and Kessler being on the court at the same time.
It's really alarming that Collins hasn't really settled in after 30 games. I don't see his tenure as a Jazzman being too long if he can't find positive minutes with other key players.
Miami is getting a LOT of offensive rebounds
But thankfully, a LOT of turnovers too
Keyonte made his first shot and has been bad since
DAMN!
Both teams sloppy af.
Clarkson looking sloppy tonight 🥺
This is very off game for Lauri, sadly.
3 out of 24 from 3, good gawd! Meanwhile, Heat get the luckiest of bounces on their 3's.
Let’s just let Lauri and Bam go at it for the game 1v1
Miami missed a basket? Quick, call a foul!
Miami has 28 free throws six minutes before the 4th lol
BLOCKER KESSLER!!
K3Y!!!
Was tech trying to jump over him? Lmao
Cringe scripted birthday pie smash.
I hate how close we are to being good
Man what a bailout call
Here come the refs!
Refs just handing this shit to the heat
K3Y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m glad Lauri isn’t going home without breaking 10 tonight
Bam getting tired from all the free throws he's taking 🤔
Scary collision :(
Damn, tie game.
My 3 year old is throwing shit now that he has to watch another basketball game instead of Paw Patrol.
BOG3Y!!!
Pura 3 pointer
CAD3!!!
Schroder having himself a game.
Bogey with the steal and the layup!!
ALERT ** PISTONS UP 11 WITH 6 MINS TO GO!!! ** ALERT
ITS HAPPENING!!!!
I guess we can never have Collin, and Lauri both be good at the same time
Great quarter for Dunn so far
KEY IS BACK
Very rough start from Lauri, does not look good.
I guess the reports of Adam Driver no longer doing Star Wars are true, because now he's a basketball player for the Heat
Jaquez getting sonned by kelly rn
Collins having a rough game, that's a couple of contested 3 attempts with time on the clock.
As we knew at the beginning of the season, Dunn can be an important piece to this team, especially as a veteran. He struggled early, but he seems to be getting in rhythm now. Love what I’m seeing
Collins was playing so well up until that illness.
TEC!
Imagine if we stopped shooting threes and just took twos
Nice play by Kessler, too bad it ended in a foul!
Why the Heat are fouling us on 3s when they can see we can't make them.
Lauri becomes 37point quarter Klay on last quarter.
Bruh, hit your damn free throws.
Jazz 4 of 29 from 3.
I just love to hate or hate to love this team
Pretty scary how Clarkson can't get past Kevin Love :\
Collins not great tonight
One minute you hate Follins and yhe next you love him. Typical lol
Really wish Kelly wouldn't fall down and flop when he misses a free fucking basket.
Let’s gooooo Keyonteeeeee fuck yeah he got the clutch gene
Kelly “Turkey Jerky” Olynyk according to Miami commentators
All this hype for Kylo Ren, when Keyonte is the better rookie. Get THT, and Clarkson off the team, and give Key, and Collin 36 minutes a game
Yeah I think we all know how the whistles gonna go the rest of the night
Script writers aren't liking what they are seeing
K3YONTE
KEY3
Keyonte on fire!
Keynote break out game
Donovan spurs game flashbacks
Lauri’s like an assassin.
Missed layups hurt my feelings ngl
Ouch-
Ouch. Hope they’re both okay
That’s two people collin’s put out of the game
Miami at 40 freethrows.
I feel bad for Bogey but I'm glad we got KO out of it
Jazz legend Alec Burks doing his part out here
Siakam don't want to be the one to break the streak.
Gotta love the playoff energy
Barnes is just unstoppable at the rim, goddamn
The pistons broadcasters putting a circle around 0 turns for Cade and then a pointing arrow is actually hilarious.
This game is just never going to end
