I don't know if he can be a starter, but if he will be given minutes, I think he can contribute to the Jazz.

He does not need to be a starter. He is doing fine off bench in Cavs. He just needs to continue playing his role and he will elevate the game of jazz.



Who are excited about tomorrow's game?

I know I am excited to watch Lakers vs Clippers game. Lebron is expected to play so this is a good match. The first time they met this season, Lakers lost. Can they return the favor this time?



LeBron can't play his 100% against the clippers and that could be a factor that they might lose the second time. Either way, if the other players of the Lakers would step up then that would be another story.
just relying on LeBron alone would not be enough because Clippers have good players on all fronts. Lebron and AD already look very solid in the Lakers and this second game I predict Lakers will win it!

We cant still say that Lebron wont be on his 100% on this match yet come to think that they have lost their first game against Clippers and i wont be surprised if it would happen on the second one.

Yes, I'm sure every basketball fans are looking for the LA showdown and wanted to see Lebron play and get their revenge. Not sure though how James is feeling. So it's going to be difficult game. However, I'm seeing Clippers winning. Lakers is dis-organized and Clippers are going to take advantage of it.

As for the Clarkson trade, definitely, win situation for Jazz in getting Clarkson here. Jordan is a good player, wasn't given enough time in Cavs so I do hope that he will be used by Jazz and give them another offensive option whether coming from the bench or as starting player.

I think Jazz won the trade, Clarkson if Given good minutes, he will be useful to the Jazz and I think he'll be back in the playoffs soon since he is now in a playoff team.
I agree with you. Clarkson arrival in the Jazz was even greater in this deal considering they were in the midst of the Western Conference Playoffs position and now had another Ball Handler while Conley was dealing with his hamstring issue.

Jazz could utilised him and we do hope that we will see a Clarkson like when he was still with the Lakers.

I don't know if he can be a starter, but if he will be given minutes, I think he can contribute to the Jazz.


They wouldn't get him in the trade and not use him at all that would just be a dumb move on their end. Yeah you can say that he has a expiring contract but the cap space isn't really what they are after since they also have sent two second round picks with Exum just to get his value out. In terms of having minutes in the team we all know he is better than Ingles and Clarkson at worst is the first player behind Mitchell he can even replace O'Neale as the starting SF for the team which I think will be good for the team.

Jazz really need some boast right now, it's not that they are not good anymore, but Clarkson is a big help for them even if he is in the 2nd unit.
He was a contributor with the Cavaliers, so he'll surely do well in Jazz where this needs are playing slow pace IMO.
I'm not an expert but I think Jazz and Cavaliers have similar style of play? correct me if I'm wrong.

Cleveland Cavaliers and Utah Jazz have agreed to trade! Cavaliers will get Dante Exum, Second Round Pick 2022, Second Round Pick 2023. and Jazz will get Jordan Clarkson. I think the Cavs want to rebuild their team now.
Do you think this Trade is worth it? and Who won this trade?
Clarkson is a good addition to Jazz offensive attacks if given the right minutes and game play he surely delivered. The effect of this trade will be seen after this regular season and if fate allow Jazz to make it into the second round. Then it will be good for Clarkson's career. Looking forward to see him with this new uniform.

I just thought Clarkson found a home in Cleveland since he has performed well in this uniform. I don't know why the Cavs trade quality players to other team and not even minding their standing in the league right now. The Jazz definitely won this trade and I am also looking forward into how well Clarkson blend in the system of his new team.

Maybe he was not a perfect fit for them or wanted to clear their salary cap that's why he was traded. He is just averaging 14 points if I'm not mistaken, so I wouldn't call it a good performance in Cavs uniform. So let's see how the Jazz will fit Clarkson in their rotation, he could be coming off from the bench to provide another scoring option, but definitely, Jazz could utilised him and we do hope that we will see a Clarkson like when he was still with the Lakers.

For the Lakers fans here, we have some good news.

https://www.nba.com/article/2019/12/23/lebron-james-anthony-davis-los-angeles-lakers-questionable-christmas

For lakers +1, line has move to Lakers -2 now against the Clippers, and this is their change to stop the losings streak.

That's something very tempting, if Lakers win this game, they would likely cover that spread.
And the fact that they are coming from a big loss against the Nuggets, we can consider the revenge factor here, but they'll bounce back on other team.

Bouncing back after three devastating consecutive loses is really a must for their team or else their confidence and momentum will turn around the other way and continue to a lossing streak. If AD and Bron will play against the Clippers, they might have a higher chance to win this game and bounce back from the winning momentum.
3 to 5 lossing streak ain't healthy for any team though.
Based on the article, Lebron James will play, the injury is not that so serious and he already feel the call from his teammates that he needs to play and bring success to the team again. That last loss was a big call for Lebron, this team won't be a championship contender without him, and not even a playoff contender.

@dunfida, Lebron needs to be playing soon because they can't handle a team without them, this reminds me of the last season when Lebron was injured and the team is messing up, Davis is good but he can't do it alone, they need Lebron to lead the team as he is the leader, the loss against the Nuggets exposed their poor defense and ball rotation.
You can really actually see the lacking and flaws of the team if one of its best players isnt on the court knowing that Lebron is a good playmaker and also
somewhat a good boostup on confidence for its team when he's there.For now they would need to handle yet 1 week isnt really that long and let those lose
games to add up to their stats.What matter most here is that they do able to give some rest to its best player rather than forcing it out.

Stepping up. That is what they need.
Rondo is still there but why the hell it is not working?
Is this team really just used to giving all the decision to Lebron? That ain't a team if that is how they think.
Well, I guess that could sum up what will happen to them in case more bad injuries happen.

For the Lakers fans here, we have some good news.

Rondo should step up and return as the play maker in Lebron's absence.
Rondo is not a scorer but he do facilitate the ball and if he can do that effectively, then they might win and break their losing streak.
Lebron will miss many games so they need to device a new plan to still be an effective team against any opponent, even if they are playing against the Clippers.

Why should the Lakers panic though? Rondo still can do what he used to do even without LeBron. And in fact, LeBron is out only for a week and only misses few games (not many). Of course the absence of their main facilitator hurts their team a lot but they can recover from this since they still have the pieces to.
