Rumor is Utah is shopping Laurie. Does Ant for Laurie make sense for both teams?

yes

 

[Whyachi]

closing in on free 2 dollar chicken nuggets, the Moda Center is getting PUMPED

 

[MickZagger]

The irony...

Simons is the guy who should be dominating the ball I thought?

Only 8 shots?

 

[blazerkor]

Probably out for the season

He'll be back soon and available to trade a month from right now... 12am eastern time on Jan. 15th.

 

[MickZagger]

We suck when Simons plays and great when Reath plays. Coach gotta understand that. Trade Simons asap.

Simons still looking for his first W of the year

Yes for us. Not for them.

Jabari Walker loves to go full CJ McCollum when it's a 4-1 or 3-1 on one fast break. He never passes.

 

[KingSpeed]

This is becoming a big sample. We play our best when Reath is on the floor.

 

[blazerkor]

Murray and Scoot both showing some promise on a night where the rest of the meaningful players on this roster laid an absolute egg.

 

[riverman]

Murray is having a solid game..

 

[Tince]

At some point, Grant will return........ right?

Would be nice to change up the whipping boy for a game or two.

 

[KingSpeed]

Murray should play more

 

[riverman]

Mays has 4 dimes already

 

[Natebishop3]

Double double for Scoota!

 

[KingSpeed]

Scoot’s first 20 & 10 game.

 

[MickZagger]

Simons and Grant should fetch us a haul at the deadline

 

[Tince]

Murray should play more

This guy knows how to fully embrace the tank!

 

[KingSpeed]

Mays has 4 dimes already

He’s a +21!

 

[riverman]

5 boards 2 steals 1 block 3 dimes and 6 pts..zero turnovers in 16 minutes
Murray is starting to click

 

[KingSpeed]

Brogdon, Simons, and Grant need to be traded for young players that complement a Scoot/Sharpe/Camara core.

 

[riverman]

end of the bench came to play! Great effort!

 

[Whyachi]

The "young guys" gave great effort to turn a blowout into a "competitive" final score. The post game questions can be answered with incredible descriptions once again.

 

[Tince]

Only 8 shots?

In case you've only been watching the gamecast and not the game, the Jazz played a box-and-1 on him. They didn't seem to think the other players on the court could do much damage against them.

But, yes, Ant didn't shoot as much, and apparently that wasn't the problem after all. Shocking.

 

[Tince]

38-19 in the 4th!

 

[Chris Craig]

0-5 when Simons plays

 

[KingSpeed]

Simons and Grant should fetch us a haul at the deadline

Sooner would be better.

 

[bemac]

Anxious to see Ant, Sharpe, Camara, Grant and Ayton get about 5 games together...This is a talented team.

 

[Predator]

Missed the game.

Scoot had a nice line.

Was it as promising as the line looks?

Back to back solid games!

Easy to zero in on a guy who never really tries to find his teammates. I missed the 1st half. Were those assists out of desperation?

Simons is CJ all over again, A guy who has tunnel vision and if the shots not falling brings nothing else to the table

 

[riverman]

The Remix is really helping our bench players get game ready, you can see how it's helped all these guys already.
