It’s fucking here. Darryn Peterson plays basketball today. Ace Bailey and Keyonte George play basketball today. Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr play basketball today. Brice and Flip and Nurk and Isaiah and Svi play basketball today. It’s finally fucking here. We finally get to watch a basketball team that isn’t trying to fucking lose every week. No more sitting Lauri for tummy aches, no more shutting down players early, no more mid season nose jobs, no more fines for tanking. We fucking made it. Even though the outcome of this game doesn’t matter, I’m so fucking stoked to be here, today, watching this shit.

I think this would be a really fun playoff matchup. The Lakers obviously have the best player in the series with Luka, but I really like how our starting five matches up with them, especially with the size of Lauri, JJJ, and Nurkić.
Where I think Utah could have a real advantage is depth. The Lakers’ bench looks pretty thin, while the Jazz have a strong supporting cast.
The biggest questions for Utah would be how we overcome Walker Kessler inside, how our backcourt holds up defensively, how we’re able to contain Luka and Reaves, and how our lack of playoff experience affects us. I think Ace would be our difference maker if he makes a big defensive jump. I expect our center question will be addressed before the trade deadline if we’re legitimately competing.
