This was a bad one. Ugly game, lots of turnovers. I did not like the additions of Hampton and Jovic to the starting lineup. I did not quite get the omission of Cain. He played so well against the GSW and even today he had immediate impact. It seemed to me too many guys weren’t themselves tonight, including Spo.
We do need a point guard. If Lowry’s not available, we have a problem.
And we were too small against Kessler, Kelly O and Markkanen. Either Bryant or O Rob should have played tonight.
spo has favs cain aint one of them,jazz had 3 7 footers spo didnt adjust.we need a pg even if turtle is avail
Agree, especially about Cain.
So NY got OG Anunoby for RJ, Quickly, 2nd Rd pick 🤔
And the knicks got precious too, but there bench got worst.
Hope Highsmith is okay
Bad way to end the game with HH injury. We are the most injury stricken team in nba. Also Jimmy hurt again, he should of rested a couple more. Anyways on to the next game.
Bad game for everyone…
Oh well, Happy New Yr HHH!!
does utah need sexton they have george and clarkson
We let the worst turnover team give us the turnovers
hopefully lamar has lots of those tomorrow
I hope so too, and I hope tua goes for 300 with 3 tds .
no waddle hurts
Tyreek will get 150 , and the other 150 will be split between achane, smythe,mostert, and cedric.
And Barrios
Almost forgot about him also .
jazzhave lots bigs and smalls.we have the middle covered
Every Heater who played today had a turnover
Correction: a goofy turnover
size and lack of speed reared its ugly head
sexton george bc to much speed
can i get a yert rebound before game is over
He looks like he got a concussion smh
concussion protocol
Hh hurt now geez
We just wasn’t clutch enough, simple as that.
Bam missing too many fts
Looking like a not so nice ending for the year….

Tightly contested game.
can we get a keyonte george one day
hh cain play together eliminates 2 of other teams players
how spo could not play cain hmmm
He’s playing
1st half nada mins
Wish he stayed inbounds
Cain is able with limited impactful minutes
took injury to put cain in sssh
just save jim for 2nd season
That’s why you need Cain in there
quickley traded to raptors like to have gotten him
JJJ off tonight
love hurt
Jamming Jamal cain!
Jaquez the love child of Kelly O and Jimmy 😂😝
