I feel like we're undefeated against bad teams and really struggle against good ones. With that in mind I expect a dub here.

We're on the road, so anything can happen. But I expect JB to take advantage of Keynote George.

We should play the Mavericks.

That last one looks like they raided the original Star Trek wardrobe. Surprised that’s legal in Utah.
SergioNYK @ 12/13/2023 5:54 PM
This might be the most winnable game on this road trip so have to take advantage. Jazz don't really shoot the three all that well but our defense has been embarrassing the last three games. Randle vs Markkanen should be fun!

Who injures their leg or foot and sprints to the locker room?
