looks like Ace ♠️ is going to be available tonight but it’s been a trend for Will to keep guys OUT the first game they’re coming off the injury report, especially on the road
care more about his long term health than getting to see him play, but would be sweet nonetheless!
#ClimbWithUs
i highly appreciate everyone who was willing to check out my page and drop any likes and comments. i really don’t have enough to say about how shocked i was to find some awesome jazz people on here so quickly and easily!
season’s far from over, and the jazz just keep getting better ‼️
#ClimbWithUs
8️⃣ UTA has to keep figuring out solves to their own defense while being thrown up against some of the greatest scorers the league has ever seen. Could be another night where everything just falls apart after a while and can’t be put back together

🏀 Game 16 Preview: 🎷 UTA vs. LAL 🟣🟡
Lakers list no injuries — per CBS Sports — but will be without Adou Thiero & Bronny James, who are on G-League assignment
No changes to Jazz injury report
First night of a back-to-back for the Jazz
🏔️🏔️🏔️
#ClimbWithUs #MtnBBall
🔻 Points of Emphasis 🔻
🏁 Final Score: 144-112 Thunder 🌩️🟠🔵
🏔️🏔️🏔️
Thunder shot a blistering 62.2% (23-37) from 3 en route to a blowout 2H
Jazz scored the most points this year of any team on OKC in the 1Q. Outscored by 46 after
Ace played great. He is going to belong in this league for a long time
#ClimbWithUs #MtnBBall
⌛️ End of 3Q: 107-88 Thunder 🌩️🟠
Jazz lose the 3Q 43-20 as the Thunder defense clamped down on any ball penetration and shut the water off on the UTA shooters
Jazz continue to have no ability to stop any version of a dynamic scoring guard. Can’t protect the rim either
🏔️🏔️🏔️

JAZZ TRYING TO SHOCK THE WORLD 🌎

—————————
1 — Keyonte George 🔑
2 — Ace Bailey ♠️
3 — Svi Mykhailiuk 🇺🇦
4 — Lauri Markkanen 🇫🇮
5 — Jusuf Nurkić 🧸

I’ve been sick all day and am not going to try to post through the game. Will likely be unable to stay awake through the whole thing, being on EST
🤒🤒🤒
Hope it’s a better game than we’re all anticipating. Praying for Keyonte 🔑
GO JAZZ!

8️⃣ Jazz need to find a way to chip into the massive -62 point differential they have buried themselves under while going up against the best team since the peak-Warriors. Thunder will have every incentive to run the score up
‼️ The Black Jerseys are Back ‼️

🏀 Game 15 Preview: 🎷 UTA vs. OKC ⛈️🟠
🏆🏆🏆
Jazz look to get back on track with some key guys returning. Georges Niang is the only player OUT — per CBS Sports. Thunder still without J-Dub, Aaron Wiggins, & Kenrich Williams
‼️ Purple Court Debut ‼️
🏔️🏔️🏔️
#ClimbWithUs #MtnBBall
🔻 Points of Emphasis 🔻
• Still lots to build on from the 1H, but will be brutally tested next time out against OKC. Can’t get too caught up on how the officiating went with Shai up next on the schedule. Have to find other ways to create margin (UTA has been winning FT battles)
‼️ Back Home ‼️
🏔️🏔️🏔️
#ClimbWithUs #MtnBBall
🏁 Final Score: 140-125 Lakers 🟣🟡
🏔️🏔️🏔️
Jazz started hot before Luka took control of the game, slowing the pace down with 16 FTAs
Lauri (31) & Keyonte (33) combine for 64 PTS while the bench only puts up 25 collectively — even with garbage time minutes
#ClimbWithUs #MtnBBall
🔻Postgame Breakdown🔻
⚡️🐂♠️
Collier-Elijah-Ace
Wish there could be more of this trio out there during non-garbage time. The amount of speed they can all play with together is psychotic
Elijah Harkless guarding Bronny James like he is prime LeBron
139-126 Lakers | 32.1 • 4Q

Nice lob. This game is completely cooked
Jazz searching for so many answers defensively
132-111 Lakers | 3:46 • 4Q

#ClimbWithUs #MtnBBall
🎷🎷🎷
The game has completely imploded for UTA. No stops are coming, no calls are going the Jazz way
Cody Williams needs to stop being empowered to take 3’s with time on the shot-clock
Lauri 🇫🇮 checking back in now. Will it matter?
124-105 Lakers | 6:39 • 4Q
🏔️🏔️🏔️
#ClimbWithUs #MtnBBall
🎷🎷🎷
All the energy has been zapped from the UTA offense. The fouls made it impossible to up the pace like the Jazz wanted
Absolutely no rim protection from the Jazz tonight. LAL have them looking one way and then cutting behind
Timeout UTA
116-103 Lakers | 8:25 • 4Q
🏔️🏔️🏔️
#ClimbWithUs #MtnBBall
⌛️ End of 3Q: 104-93 Lakers 🟣🟡
Luka finds his way up to 37 PTS amid a plethora of foul calls and drive-bys to the rim. Jazz defense has been completely nonexistent since 1Q — not being helped by officiating
Jazz only scored 22 PTS in 3Q — the bench is not coming through
🏔️🏔️🏔️
#ClimbWithUs #MtnBBall
🎷🎷🎷
Jazz surrender their first lead of the night. Can’t get anything working with the bench units tonight — especially defensively
Going to need Keyonte & Lauri to continue the carry job down the stretch
Long delay dealing with the ball 🏀

Bad 3 minutes here for Isaiah Collier
Got called for a charge ➡️ Got obliterated by Deandre Ayton trying to go at him in transition ➡️ Just slipped and fell at the FT line turning the ball over for a LAL leak out dunk
Timeout UTA

Luka & Keyonte 🔑 checked out and both offense just became incapable of making consistent good plays
Lauri looking to get his shots up — shot diet could be a little better this quarter though

Keyonte (13p/3r/4a) with a career quarter
Lauri self-created 2 different shots off the dribble at the right elbow

#ClimbWithUs #MtnBBall
🎷🎷🎷
Luka seeing a revolving door of bodies so far. Having no trouble getting to his spots against anyone — drawing fouls as usual
Just stay focused on finding ways to get the ball out of his hands. Couple good jobs reading passing lanes already
25-20 Jazz | 2:41 • 1Q
🏔️🏔️🏔️
#ClimbWithUs #MtnBBall
🔑🔑🔑
Keyonte is shooting with confidence tonight. Lakers keep going under on him = stepping back with rhythm. 3-5 from deep to start
Brice 🧊 almost turns it over on his first touch and then fouls Austin Reaves shooting 35 feet from the basket

“Svi for 3!” 🎯 x2 to get the night started
Keyonte 🔑 with one to follow
Ace ♠️ drives baseline around Luka for a dunk!
