What in the world has gotten into the Utah Jazz? And will it last?
, and a bunch of guys whose names nobody in Utah yet knows, mixed with holdovers Jordan Clarkson, Mike Conley and Rudy Gay, that they are supposed to be the Washington Generals, not just losing games, but having a bucket of confetti chucked in their faces en route.
Clarkson making plays that aren’t just his own, creating for not just himself, but for his teammates. What?, seeing what the possibilities might be for him when he gains greater awareness regarding where his teammates are, where they like the ball. Wow. What the Jazz have done to this point is most rare in the modern NBA game — they’ve shared the ball, seemingly unconcerned as to who takes the shot, who gets the credit, and they’ve depended on each other at both ends of the floor, without established stars, without egos, without complications that come by way of a pecking order.
Team ball — a different hero every night — is sweet and quaint and important, but when the authentic pressure comes, somebody has to take the last shot.If it all blows apart, as it was scripted to do from the beginning, everyone will nod, and look to the 2023 Draft, and 10 more drafts to come.
