    Jabari finally showed some game…it’s a shame it came in a blowout exchange

    If we win this game it's "any team can win a home game" Dallas just came in here aggressive and hot. They took care of business.

    Jabari is a good young player but his play does not effect our winning…that’s the difference between a primary and secondary scorer

    The optimism is there. You got to pay, you cannot pay top dollar for people that are just questionable to be superstars.

    Got to be sure. Luka type of sure.

    Even Holiday a minimum player played like a star in stretches.....at home.

    I agree, only because I don't think their style of play is ever going to win them anything and Kyrie is on the downside of his career.

    Of course they can make a big move to change that but as constructed I don't see it. Right now they are a gatekeeper kind of team in the west.

    Luka tied a career high in threes mostly from a tactical mistake of not blitzing him. This is even a extremely hot game for Luka's standards. This is how the Jazz felt that night with FVV and Green. Not every game is going to have a dude make 9 threes in your face.

    What happened to our shooting since two games? Brooks game completely ass and FVV & Green both bad shooting nights, hard to overcome that.

    You can not worry about injury? Jalen and Amen needs all the minutes they can get, you should never worry about injuries playing basketball you should not coach or play scared…worrying about injuries

    Everything people hated Harden for, they overlook in Luka. Hmm

    I haven't watched TNT in a very long time. I wonder if Barkley has the same "dribble dribble dribble" BS for Luka that he had with Harden.

    Luka, despite his talent, has always been a lower seeded in the playoffs which has led to mostly disappointing playoff exits (I foresee another one happening this year). When Harden had talent, Rockets went past the 1st round and they also won at a high percentage.
