  • It's a make or miss league.

  • It's a make or miss league cut that make ice tray tray young was showing off his range again last night.

  • So much so that John Collins got the chills today.

  • Is John need jacket?

  • If Yes.

  • Apparently, all of us need jackets.

  • When he's shooting that deep.

  • Maybe I'll take a bomber.

  • You look good in a leather jacket race, Matt.

  • Maybe yours is Denham.

  • I don't know.

  • Look, John, we feel I love.

  • I love the creativity here.

  • I love the creativity.

  • You know, Trae Young is really starting to make a name for itself in this league.

  • And this is this is their thing.

  • So I think it's dope.

  • I'm looking for them to add more to it cause I know more is coming with this.

  • Mm.

  • All right, Miss Injuries, John Wall.

  • Miss me with that?

  • Any kind of need trouble because he leading the break goes behind the back and lays it in.

  • We showed this earlier.

  • It's so beautiful.

  • Well, vintage John wall.

  • He was a blur a couple times in this game to Matt showing off the speed.

  • Yes, absolutely.

  • I've been on the wrong end of some John Wall antics, seeded a 3 60 left.

  • This there was like six years ago that to this day it's still one of the most watched videos on Instagram.

  • So you guys go.

  • I know you guys had their e o e.

  • I just I just love on a serious note.

  • I'd love to see him getting back and form.

  • You hate when the game is taken away from young players, and I love the fact that he's finding his footing and getting healthy.

  • And I love Rachel saying Miss me with that.

  • Miss me with that.

  • I heard you rate just saying just and make this struggle.

  • Staying in Houston Struggle, I guess.

  • Israel.

  • During garbage time, the wizard struggles on full display.

  • Brad Beal Not not happy.

  • Very sad.

  • How do we feel for Bradley Beal right now?

  • Oh, man, I don't want to say free Bradley Bill, but, man, this man is leading the league in scoring and he's doing it, you know, four points higher.

  • Okay, we're gonna say Bradley Beal.

  • I mean, in fairness, the man signed a very big contract extension with that franchise.

  • So he did know.

  • He does know what he's gotten himself into.

  • He has consistently said he wanted to stay.

  • He wants to stay in Washington.

  • But I do not know if he still feels that this morning after that again.

  • It's been a rough month for the Wizards.

  • I'm not gonna lie.

  • All right, Miss missing friends came from Matt Barnes with the real Jazz came from behind for their ninth straight win yesterday.

  • But in the first half, it was all about the Knicks.

  • Austin Rivers.

  • He went 10 for 10 for 25 points.

  • He and Steph Curry talking about how hot he was.

  • Did you ever start a game 10 for 10?

  • I mean, yeah, but your girl was shooting layups and they couldn't stop me at Stanford.

  • They couldn't stop me in the league.

  • You know what I'm saying?

  • So to do this from the perimeter thistles.

  • Impressive.

  • I mean, dare I say are the Knicks fund okay?

  • Let me not get ahead myself.

  • What about you, Matt?

  • Temper?

  • He was hot.

  • I I've started off seven for seven and had 25.

  • But you know him going 10 for 10 hot.

  • I love that.

  • He's finding a rhythm in New York, and New York is gonna sneak up on some people.

  • I think the play in 7 10 situation is really gonna fit New York.

  • Well, I think they're gonna have a chance to sneak in the playoffs that they're playing well at the end.

  • Hmm.

  • Interesting things finally going on at the Garden.

  • Alright, I do want to stick with that Jazz Knicks game to talk about the other side.

  • Because the Jazz trailed by as many as 15 points but ended up winning the game by a comfortable 14 point margin ended up being Utah's ninth straight win, the longest active win streak in the league and the longest by any team this season.

  • Now, after playing 34 minutes last night this morning, Donovan Mitchell started showing symptoms linking him to a possible concussion.

  • So, according to team officials and Mitchell now been placed in the MBA's concussion protocol, he will officially missed tonight's game against the Mavs.

  • But let's go back to the Jazz is the whole looking at their upcoming schedule.

  • They play the Mavericks twice.

  • Then they get the Nuggets.

  • How long do you think the Jazz can keep rolling?

  • Especially with Mitchell's absence?

  • At least for tonight?

  • Um, it's gonna be tough without Donovan Mitchell.

  • Obviously, he's their go to guy, but this is a great team, and I love what they're doing over there.

  • Shutout.

  • Quin Snyder.

  • They're really starting to build a foundation similar to what the San Antonio Spurs have been doing.

  • Uh, this is one of the best teams in the league, but I still think they need that piece to get them over the hump, possibly a Bradley Beal or exact Levine at the trade deadline.

  • But I love a Quin Snyder's doing over there in Utah.

  • Yeah, and I agree with you, Matt.

  • You know, without Donovan Mitchell, the street is likely going to end potentially, but still, the lead should not react.

  • You know, relax and you know it takes me back to what coach Steve Kerr said before facing them Not too long ago, he gave them the best compliment ever.

  • The Utah Jazz, he said.

  • They look like us not too long ago, three or four years ago.

  • That is absolutely the highest praise.

  • And when he said it, I started looking into the numbers because they are dominant on both ends of the floor this year.

  • They're the only team that's top five in both offensive and defensive efficiency.

  • They've also speaking of the Warriors.

  • They have their number one overall in total threes made, and they they're the only team with six players, the average making over two threes a game.

  • So ah, lot of threes, great defense.

  • And then you look overall like this team, they know how to play with one another.

  • They've got veterans, they're getting healthy.

  • And, of course, there, led by an elite player and Donovan Mitchell.

  • So, yes, I'm a nerd.

  • Yes, I love the numbers.

  • But guess what?

  • Numbers never lie.

  • And in this case, they support the case of the Utah Jazz.

  • We found a basketball player who loves analytics.

  • I'm gonna keep that for today, Kind of maybe in her biobox or something like that, Sometimes those numbers, like sometimes they lie.

  • You're right, you're right.

  • Now that's what I'm or used to.

  • I will say about the Jazz.

  • It's fascinating to me because, of course, the first team, um to have a covert positive.

  • And, of course, that was the trigger for the MBA shutting down last spring.

  • There was a lot of talk about what was the relationship like between Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.

  • In fact, Donovan kind of alluded to it in a Good Morning America interview.

  • Not that far afterward.

  • But the bubble actually really helped this team.

  • It kept them close.

  • What could have been divisions got kind of fixed by the fact that they had to be together all day, all the time without any family and friends.

  • Donovan and Rudy were playing Ping Pong together.

  • At one point I watched these guys inside the bubble get close in a way that they might not have again if the season had picked up in a more traditional regular way.

  • And I think you can see that closeness right now.

  • It is really, really fun to watch.

  • Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

you me and do the clapping and action.
