Home or away, driven by love or hate, on a Wednesday or holiday, because of JJJ or because of Trip -- whatever the reason, which game(s) did you circle on the calendar at first glance?
JJJ is my favorite player, I watch NBA all too literally any time it's on, and I live in ET, so I'll be actively following the Jazz moving forward. (It's "secondary fandom" - I'm not full-on changing allegiances, for y'all out there who are anal about such things.)
What should I expect from the Utah experience? Murphy's Law? Heartbreak, no matter how good/bad the team is? This contending window to be a proper window, or...?
And as far as expectations for the current team, the consensus is that the rebuild is reaching a crescendo - they'll win significantly more this year, but not truly contend til 2027-28 and beyond, yes? Or...?
Get me up to speed, lest I Trip walking through the door. (UCWIDT?)
...then can't we also think about the not-entirely-unlikely scenario where he absolutely balls the fuck out with Edey on the PnR, Beef Stew paving roads to the basket, and a growing list of legit 3pt threats to kick it out to?
It was a small sample for all of the obvious reasons but the way Ja + Edey talked about working out together, plus the game or two (how sad is that?!) they actually played together last season, gives me more than enough than to think a best-case scenario isn't any more unlikely than the absolute worst.
