What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Eric Walden @tribjazz
With the Utah Jazz down two key guards Friday, rookie Jared Butler got a big opportunity to play, and impressed with both his shooting and play-making. Which didn’t stop teammates from teasing him about excessive dribbling. sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20… – 1:37 AM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
goodnight, jazz twitter – 1:07 AM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

#Pacers have officially been eliminated from the playoffs with 11 games left.
They’ll miss out on the postseason in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2010, when they then drafted Paul George (10) and Lance Stephenson (40). – 12:26 AM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Analysis: Shorthanded Utah Jazz roster blows out LA Clippers https://t.co/UyN5MWayEj pic.twitter.com/AYHTCFslMI – 12:22 AM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Probably most damning stat of tonight:
It was 51-34 when Reggie Jackson scored with 4:36 left in 1st half.
Clippers didn’t score again or grab another defensive rebound rest of half, giving up 20-0 run.
Jazz made their only FT, and 9/15 FGs; Utah rebounded all 6 misses. – 12:05 AM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Robert Covington said the last month of the season should be used for building good habits. What habits does LAC need to work on?
Effort, finishing out plays, he said. That means offensive rebounding.
“Those things we’ll be able to key in more as we practice.” – 12:05 AM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Eric Paschall, on NCAA tourney trash talk among the Jazz: “JB tries to talk about how he won a national championship. I’m like, ‘I got two in the bag!’ I redshirted one, but I got a ring! … He got one measly little one. That’s cute.” – 11:50 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Lot of trash talk from Eric Paschall about how Royce O’Neale and Jared Butler are cute with their Baylor talk. Paschall got two rings even though one was a redshirt season at Villanova, so he feels he has the high ground. 😂 – 11:49 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops

Ivica Zubac said a few players spoke up postgame. He called the effort embarrassing, yet again. – 11:40 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Ty Lue on thought that teams have a better understanding of what to take away from this version of shorthanded Clippers:
“I mean, they should, yeah. 75 games into the season. I’m pretty sure they see how we play and what we look to and how we try to to score and try to attack.” – 11:38 PM David Locke @DLocke09
POSTCAST – Utah Jazz blow out Los Angeles Clippers twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1… – 11:35 PM Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Clippers get “polished” 121-92 in Salt Lake City.
Ty Lue surmises: “Not tonight, not too much to polish. They polished us, how about that? .. It’s one of those games, we just didn’t have it. Didn’t have a lot of pop. Them being down their two top scorers, we let our guard down.” – 11:34 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Clippers only 3 losses ahead of Lakers for West 8 (Clippers own head-to-head tiebreaker) – 11:23 PM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Ty Lue has talked about using this last month of the season, with LAC essentially bound for the 8-seed as a chance to polish themselves for the postseason.
“Not much to polish tonight,” he said. “Shit, they polished us.” – 11:21 PM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Utah routs the Clippers, 121-92. Clippers are back under .500. Ty Lue has wanted to give his main contributors rest during this stretch run but probably didn’t envision Batum, Morris and Jackson playing 39 combined minutes. – 11:17 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
a fun one at home 😁

The Jazz defeat the Los Angeles Clippers 121-92. They move to 44-26 on the season. Terrific all around game from Utah. The Jazz move to a game up over the Mavericks. A marathon trip east starts on Sunday in New York against the Knicks. – 11:16 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Worst loss of season for Clippers, and they’re under .500 (36-37) for first time since beating Lakers first game after All-Star break on February 25.
Utah wins 121-92. Teams face off again in 11 days.
Clippers have 3 days off before going to Denver. It’s the 5th 3-game L streak – 11:15 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz win 121-92. Their most complete game of the season, and without Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic, Hassan Whiteside, Trent Forrest, or Danuel House.
Jared Butler led the team with 21 pts, 16 of which came in the 4th. Gobert dominated the game defensively.
Road trip next. – 11:15 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

FINAL: Jazz 121, Clippers 92. Utah wraps its homestand by improving to 44-26. Gobert 19/16/2b/2a. Clarkson 20p/8r/5a. Butler 21p/7a. Paschall 17p/4r. NAW 13p/5a/4r. Even a 3 by Xavier Sneed! Now … six-game road trip going from NY to LA. – 11:14 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
With a 3 from Xavier Sneed, every active Jazz player scored tonight. – 11:13 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Haha, awesome. Jazz run a play for Xavier Sneed at the very last possession to get him his first NBA points. – 11:13 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

With three days off until their next game, the Clippers aren’t going straight to Denver, instead returning to L.A. after this one. They’re expected to get a practice in during that time before flying to Denver. Maybe it will help jump start them after this beating. – 10:57 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Clippers haven’t lost a game by 30+ since the massacre vs Mavericks the Sunday after Christmas 2020.
That’s the only thing in play here with 12 minutes left to play and Utah up 95-58.
Previous worst loss this season: 135-109 at Memphis
Previous lowest points: 79 vs Cavaliers – 10:50 PM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif

No Clipper in double figure yet, though RoCo has nine, Zu has nine and Luke has eight for the Clippers — who are shooting 28.6% (19 of 64). – 10:48 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
End 3Q: Jazz 95, Clippers 58. LAC couldn’t even be bothered to get off a pre-buzzer heave. I think I like Utah’s chances to hang on to this lead. – 10:47 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
End of three: the Jazz lead the clippers 95-58 – 10:47 PM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif

Mark Daigneault has no update on Tre Mann’s ankle. He will get it checked tomorrow.
After missing Josh Giddey, Lu Dort, Kenrich Williams, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Mike Muscala, Derrick Favors and Ty Jerome the past month, let’s hope for good news on Mann. – 10:41 PM Los Angeles Clippers @LAClippers

2:30 left in the third, and Utah has been up by 30+ the entire quarter. Jazz now lead 85-51, and have outrebounded Clippers 49-29. – 10:39 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
It’s obvious the clippers don’t have it tonight. This has been a pickup game in the third quarter – 10:39 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
My theory is that it’s the baby blue that is hurting the Clippers tonight. Baby blue is a horrible uni color – 10:36 PM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
At what point in this game will the Clippers get a double-digit scorer? Mann is a three-pointer away but he just checked out. The next high is 6. – 10:35 PM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Well, after a couple games that left the Clippers *very* frustrated with officials on late calls, I think it’s safe to say we’re not getting a L2M report from this one. – 10:33 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Feels like it all goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway. No Kawhi, no PG, no Powell. – 10:32 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
another double-double for the Big Man 🔮

Clippers started second half on an 8-1 run over the first 4:25 of third quarter.
It would take five more of those to make up this deficit. And Utah still leads 76-42 with 6:12 left in third quarter.
Utah fans do get to see Trevor Booker who is here tonight, so there’s that. – 10:31 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz have only scored 5 points in the first 6 minutes of the second half. As a result, their 37 point lead has been cut to 34. – 10:29 PM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Ty Lue is clapping on the sideline with Ojeleye pushing the ball in transition, but there are limits to what this lineup can do. Semi’s shot is erased the next time down and the Jazz score on 2 straight possessions. The energy is better for the Clippers — then again, a low bar. – 10:28 PM Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
OKC young core tonight
SGA: 26 points/7 rebounds/3 blocks
Mann: 25 points/8 rebounds/5-11 from 3

Thunder fans were robbed of SGA and Mann 30 point games due to the score + Tre injury. – 10:22 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
LAC starting 2H with Zubac, Coffey, Mann, Hood, Ojeleye. Wow. – 10:22 PM Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
“Play harder.” Ty in regard to what the Clippers need to do differently offensively and defensively, per @Kristina Pink on the broadcast.
Mann, Hood, Coffey, Zu and Ojeleye start the second half for the Clippers. – 10:22 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Clippers are starting second half with Terance Mann, Amir Coffey, Rodney Hood, Semi Ojeleye, Ivica Zubac. – 10:20 PM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
The Clippers open the second half with a lineup of Zubac, Cofey, Mann, Hood and Ojeleye. – 10:20 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
As Clippers prepare for a 37-point comeback (I guess) … your reminder that the Clippers have not won a game without a double-digit comeback since blowing out the Lakers 15 days ago.
Since then, Clippers are 2-5, with the wins being comebacks vs Wizards and Detroit.

a quick 30-4 run to finish off the first half
#TakeNote pic.twitter.com/jV1mguNFE8 – 10:08 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Yeah, so Utah just ended the last 4:36 of the first half on a 20-0 run.
It’s a 71-34 halftime lead for Utah. It’s the largest halftime lead by a non-Bucks team this season (3rd overall).
And that’s with Clippers outscoring Jazz 7-4 from FT line. – 10:08 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
HALFTIME: Jazz 71, Clippers 34. Utah won the 2Q by a palindromic 41-14. Finished 2Q on a 30-4 run. Everything was exceptionally easy. Nice performances from Gobert (13/12/2), JC (11p/5r/4a), Paschall (11p/3r), NAW (10p), Ocho (7p/8r). Nice PG moments too from Butler, too. – 10:07 PM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
A Clippers loss tonight would send them below .500 for the first time since February 17. – 10:07 PM Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Final: Nets beat the Blazers 128-123 to cap a wild week. Brooklyn has won four of five, yet still sits firmly in the eight spot in the East. Tough week ahead next week. Jazz, Grizz and Heat. KD had 38, Seth Curry had 27, Bruce and Drum 17 each and Cam Thomas with 11. – 10:06 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz up 71-34 at the half. 71-34! They finished the half on a 30-4 run on the Clippers.
Gobert has 13p/12r, already. Clarkson and Paschall both have 11. Alexander-Walker’s been brilliant, he has 10. Best half of the season for the Jazz. – 10:06 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Jazz out here rolling a team like it’s 2020-21.
Utah leads the Clippers 71-34 at halftime. Everyone has been great. – 10:06 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

Utah Jazz: 36 points vs. Denver Nuggets (1996)
LA trails by 37 currently — 71-34 | Half – 10:05 PM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
The Jazz closed the final seven minutes of the first half by allowing only 4 points. Clinical dissection. – 10:05 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah

It doesn’t really surprise me that when you have end of bench players that are really talented and have nothing to lose that they will play like this, especially at this point of the season – 10:02 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

Jared Butler the point guard has gotten so much better this season.

Utah lead reached 16 prior to Robert Covington’s corner 3.
Utah still leads 38-25 with 8:46 left in first half. Clippers down to 32.1% FGs and turnovers are even at 3 apiece. With Clippers having rebounding difficulties, they have to win TO battle in addition to shooting better. – 9:44 PM Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
RoCo is the Clippers’ go-to scorer right now: With his second 3, he’s got a team-high 6 points.
Clips trail 38-25 – 8:46, 2nd – 9:43 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Maybe the most interesting thing that could come from success of NAW would be the Jazz deciding not to convert Trent Forrest’s contract to a standard deal for the playoffs. Not sure what will happen but that could become a possibility – 9:43 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

No rookie this season has had a better quarter than Tre Mann just had in the 2nd quarter.
Mann scored 20 points and showed off his whole bag: stepback 3s, tough finishing at the rim, floaters, turnarounds. Name it, he did it. – 9:03 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Quin Snyder talking about how to approach a game without Donovan Mitchell and Bogdanovic, Utah’s two primary offensive options (sound familiar?): “We gotta score somewhere. I don’t think it changes he way ew want to be aggressive… still want to attack the paint, pick and roll.” – 7:27 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

About to be halfway to Utah-Texas on Sunday as the Utes have been rolling on Arkansas. pic.twitter.com/KSzP0VbJqX – 7:13 PM Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Utah has done a nice job of coming up with answers the few times Arkansas has looked ready to move.
Utes up 16, are 50% shooting and 47.4% from deep. – 6:52 PM Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Utah jumped all over Arkansas at the outset and hasn’t slowed down. Utes by 16, inside 7:00 to play before halftime. – 6:04 PM Ryan McDonald @ryanwmcdonald
This start will certainly do for Utah vs. Arkansas – 5:42 PM Los Angeles Clippers @LAClippers
Some more Zu for you! pic.twitter.com/CI2zhuqhBm – 5:30 PM Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Utah about ready to tip in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2011 against Arkansas. Utes are seeking their first NCAA Tournament win since 2009.

I really don’t understand the DPOY odds moving away from Rudy Gobert.
Giannis would be a fine choice, but I keep seeing these first-time candidates getting propped up when Rudy is just the same dominant regular-season defender he’s always been. It should be his trophy. – 4:06 PM Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA
Crazy how the NFL offseason is now basically the same as the NBA offseason. Player movement no longer unusual.
Watson -> CLE
Wilson -> DEN
Adams, Jones -> LV
Mack, Jackson -> LAC
Robinson -> LAR
Wentz -> WAS
Brady -> Back
Trubisky -> PIT
Miller -> BUF
Baker -> Who knows – 4:02 PM Zac Boyer @ZacBoyer
Missed this last night, but by scoring nine points, David McCormack moved past Udoka Azubuike on Kansas’ career scoring list. He’s now 49th with 1,075 points. #kubball – 3:46 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
