Will Hardy laid down the gamet over the last week of what will be acceptable and unacceptable for the Utah Jazz moving forward. He set the standards if you don't play hard and don't pass you don't play for the Utah Jazz and if you are going to play for the Utah Jazz you are going to give a *&^* about the Utah Jazz.

This is what has to happen as a team builds a culture and heads toward a rebuild and reboot. The organization has to avoid aimless losing and that is what Will Hardy has to do in his 2nd year as the Utah Jazz head coach.

The Utah Jazz win on Saturday was vital because you have to win to have some positive teaching moments for a franchise and most of all the win came with defense. A unique starting lineup lead the way for the Utah Jazz and Collin Sexton's play late closed the deal.

The Pelicans will have Zion Williamson tonight and it is a game changer. There aren't many forces that are as compelling as Zion and his game.

Lauri Markkanen leadership is one of the most important stories of the Utah Jazz season and he has continued to shine leadership. Lauri is being asked to carry a crazy burden with a game that has yet to evolve with all of that entails and yet he is holding his own and being an amazing leader.

Keyonte George is getting an amazing late game experience that even the most veteran Jazz players have not had in most of their career.

LeBron James is super human and dominating this year. However, he is desperate for help and the Los Angeles Lakers aren't giving it to him at all. The numbres of how dependent the Lakers are on LeBron James, at 39 years old are shocking.

Are the NBA standings set. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA insider, thinks that 19 of the 20 playoff/playin teams are already in place.

The Utah Jazz lost two incredible games this weekend against Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns. While the losses stung, the incredible growth of the Jazz over the last week was the rousounding story of the weekend.

Last night the Utah Jazz half court offense couldn't get rolling but the Jazz showed the resiliance and fight that was the signature a year ago and were able to stay in the game with offensive rebounding and transition games.

Ochai Agbaji had an incredible defensive game bouncing between Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. The Jazz defense was much improved until the 4th quarter and the overtime.

Lauri Markkanen has been asked to lead the Utah Jazz both on and off the floor this year and so far he has been wildly impressive. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, takes a look at how Lauri has handled the role of leader this year and how he has adapted his game to a team that has been in flux.

Through 11 games of the season the Jazz schedule has been against 5 of the best teams and 4 of the least good teams so it is a really good level of assessment of where the Utah Jazz sit and what we can expect for the rest of the season.

Late Game Watch takes a look at the Atlanta Hawks and what a tremendous problem Trae Young is on the defensive end. The New York Knicks beat the Hawks last night. The Boston Celtics look amazing. They are by far the best team Locke has seen all season and the 76ers still have some issues with Tyrese Maxey at the point guard.
