I like beer and the Utah Jazz and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

As soon as Andy Larsen said it was silly for Utah to not be giving Cody Williams SLC Stars reps (even if it's just practices), the Jazz assigned Williams down to the Stars.

The Lakers' court is SELFISH TEAMMATE

I am very bad at photoshop but I thought this was very funny, so here you go

One of the very many reasons physical media can't be beat right now.

Buy cookbooks. (take them out from the library! buy fifteen cookbooks from your local goodwill for five bucks!)
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

I fell asleep before overtime, as is my god-given right as a father of three small humans, but a Kings Win is very good for the Jazz
Okay, switching over to the fourth quarter of Wolves - Kings, aka the Bluesky Bowl

Jimmy Butler just did the Porzingis/Rovell to Walt Clayton

Always love it when that happens; it's legit funny

Reaaaaally thought Brice Sensabaugh evolved into a 'oh shit, fuck, we left him open' three-point shooter but he's back to being a pedestrian guy that youre ultimately fine with

I just realized it's only the 3rd quarter of Warriors - Jazz

Time for A (sixth) Beer

For example, after that jump ball, the loose ball ended up in Ace Bailey's hands on the perimeter guarded hy Quinten Post. 12 seconds on the shot clock.

I am just so curious what would happen if Utah just said 'okay, iso up and make the right move' in these very specific circumstances
I am convinced that if the Jazz didn't have Lauri and Keyonte and just said 'fuck it, do some shit, Ace Bailey', his fantasy counting stats would be absolutely bananas.

Audibly laughed at Nurkic falling down and throwing wild shit at the rim

What a guy

Golden State's jerseys should say THE BROWN on the front, amirite
November 25, 2025 at 4:18 AM
Walt clayton Jr. in for the first time in a few games. Hasn't been bad, just no room for another small guard in the backcourt rotation right now.

The Utah Jazz have negative options at third center--now backup center, with Kessler done--but I think I like how Utah can swap around some baseline competence between Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson depending on matchups/health.

Folks, it's a HUGE game tonight at the Golden 1 Center. The Timberwolves are here trying to spoil what could be the longest winning streak this season for YOUR Sacramento KINGS (2 games) so you KNOW I had to get the best seats in the house to watch the Kings LIGHT THE BEAM for a 2nd game in a row

I know every non-Chiefs fan base has their own Tortured Lore but I gotta say it's been a weird and stupid ride rooting for the 49ers the past 15 years.
November 25, 2025 at 2:12 AM
Ah! Well, nevertheless,
The NBA L2M Report says two incorrect noncalls were made that benefited the Lakers:

- Kleber should have been called for a LBF that would have sent Nurkic to FT line down 1

- Smart should have been called for away from play foul that would have sent George to FT line down 2

I am not sure who, if anyone, on here has actually been to a Jazz game with me

Let's just say I've caught the ire of Tony Brothers on two (2) separate occasions
Bluesky Celtics community should be grateful they only have to read my reactions, not hear them. This is why I prefer to watch games alone...
November 24, 2025 at 5:25 PM
I may be the only Jazz fan who doesn't care they didn't call a foul when Keyonte fell down.

I hate that it was MARCUS SMART that fouled him but the refs are always gonna let that go. The SLOB play itself was very close-quarters to the inbound location.

I was actually impressed they recovered okay
November 24, 2025 at 3:52 AM
Call or no call, I think Keyonte will learn that he could've absolutely pump faked and stolen some free throws on that last second shot
November 24, 2025 at 3:28 AM
Will Hardy draws up a BLOB play to get him open for 3 and Doncic had no real chance of guarding it
I'm not just saying this because I want cool things to happen, but Ace Bailey has to be deliberately more involved

The Lakers are doing a ton to make sure Markkanen never touches the ball with any advantage

You can't survive on Keyonte isos

Nurkic and Svi are bit players in the whole thing

Cannot believe how wrong we all were to be skeptical of Ace Bailey's passing. Just nailed two A-level passes in a row.

Mavs were down three with like 25 seconds left and they specifically designed a play so Klay Thompson would shoot like a 34 footer from the logo.
