Jazz(17-5) @ Hornets(10-12)[Preview]

Players I get worried about playing against: All star Big Men

Exception: Rudy Gobert

There’s nothing less intimidating than a soft t. What are you going to do to us Rudy? Shut down Zeller, oh no please don’t cripple our scoring like that. Yes Rudy plays good defense but I’m with Shaq on this one. I mean the guy has as many 20 point games as he does 4 point games(2). Zeller just needs to take up some space, get a few boards, and that’s a win for us, considering Rudy will be making 46million dollars come the 2025-26 NBA season. Oh shit I just thought of something, has there ever been an NBA team who makes the playoffs with TWO Cody’s on their roster?

*Googles NBA teams with two codys on them* – Ok that was a long shot

*Googles: NBA players named Cody* – No definitive lists, but why tf would there be.

*Googles: List of NBA players who’s first name starts with a C* – alright WTF am I doing here

I’ll have to do this the old fashion way by going to basketball reference and Ctrl+f’ing the shit out of the last name lists. Ok I’m through last names that start with the letter F and am still at ZERO, wtf is going on here. Ayyo , my first hit, fucking Cody Martin. Starting to think Zeller and Martin are the only Cody’s in league history.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, according to basketball reference, Cody Zeller and Cody Martin are the only two Codys in the history of the NBA. That is a big time mindfuck.

So yea the Jazz game… The fun part about this game will be that both teams play a “team” game. The Hornets lead the league in assists while the Jazz divvy up their scoring in all sorts of different ways. Bojan is someone who could be a real difference maker because he can rip trips, and would be the second tallest player on our team. I normally would not be that worried about him because PJ matches up pretty well against him but he’s still out with a sprained foot. Hopefully Terry being back in the lineup will give us enough of a boost to beat the top team in the west(by record, stfu Lebron/Laker stans).

Charlotte Keys

Get out and run – Hornets tend to turn the ball over if they try to push transition too much but if they get out and run tonight it could nullify Gobert’s defensive prowess.

Monk – I’m looking for the steamy moist Monk to have a big game tonight. That combined with Terry’s production being back could be enough for a dub.

Utah Keys

Bojan – See above

Guard Defense – Jazz are the #3 defensive team in the league and if they can force our young guards to give it up we might be hosed.
