What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Casey Holdahl @CHold
Jazz 75, Blazers 62: halftime. 20 points, 2 steals for @AnferneeSimons. 15 points, 1 rebound, 1 block for @JeramiGrant. 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals/assists for @ShaedonSharpe. – 10:09 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
HALFTIME: Jazz 75, Blazers 62.
Collin Sexton had several nice feeds toward the end of the half — lob to Collins, pocket pass to Lauri, then to Walker. Actually kinda liked the chemistry with him and Clarkson.
Jazz shot 60% overall, 8-14 from 3. – 10:08 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz’s most successful offensive half by a million in preseason: they lead 75-62. They’re making 57% of their threes so far, which really helps.
But Markkanen still looks bright, and Collins (both of the John and Sexton variety) having their best games, too. – 10:07 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
First half finished: The Jazz lead the Blazers 75-62. 19 and 6 for Markkanen. 11 for John Collins. 10 for Collin Sexton…..Simons has 20 to lead everyone – 10:07 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Collin Sexton had a good close to the first half after a pretty brutal first two games.
Jazz needed him to get going and he has. – 10:05 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Honestly, the Jazz have looked really good so far tonight. Offense has been a lot more crisp. They are playing super fast, and for the most part sharing the ball. It’s been a good performance so far – 9:58 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Kelly Olynyk either just saved a toddler or almost killed a toddler – 9:57 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Scoot Henderson and Keyonte George are 19 years old.
Keyonte looks like a 19 year old. Henderson looks like a grown man… – 9:56 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Ochai Agbaji has had a phenomenal second quarter – 9:52 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
I think pretty comfortably that this is the most collectively athletic Jazz team I’ve seen since joining the beat in 2014…..A lot of guys who fly up and down the floor – 9:49 PM
Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Speaking of Dunn. He can not be extended, only guaranteed for the season. So, it’s not like the Jazz can do a long term deal right now. Guarantee date is Oct. 23. – 9:49 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Kris Dunn has played well in every game of the preseason – 9:47 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Shaedon Sharpe is cooking – 9:45 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Blazers going small with Ant, Shae, Kris, Tou and Jabari – 9:41 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
End 1Q: Jazz 40, Blazers 34. If Walker Kessler had hit that buzzer-beating 3, they could have canceled the rest of the game. We’d have seen enough.
Elsewhere, 18p for Simons, 15p for Markkanen.
Jazz had some nice ball movement, also some yikes adventures in passing. – 9:38 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Jazz 40, Blazers 34: end of first quarter. 18 points, 2 steals for @AnferneeSimons. 3 points, 3 assists for @thereal013. POR shooting 56 percent, UTA 63 percent. – 9:38 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Kris Dunn isn’t just an NBA player, he’s a very good NBA player. – 9:37 PM
Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Kris Dunn deserves a long term deal in the NBA. Period. – 9:37 PM

Anfernee Simons on fire again. 18 points on 7-8 FG in the first quarter.
Ant last 5 quarters in Utah: 63 points

End of the first quarter. The Jazz lead the Blazers 40-34 – 9:36 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Simons now with 18 of Portland’s 32 points on 7-7 and 4-4 shooting – 9:34 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Early Ochai Agbaji at the four minutes.
In pregame Will Hardy said he say an opportunity for Ochai to be a bit more of a 3-4 hybrid and play “winning basketball.” – 9:34 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz now have four guards and Walker Kessler on the floor – 9:33 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
As I watched Lauri Markkanen’s first quarter, I had Roy Kent’s voice in my head: He seems verrrrrrry good. – 9:33 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz look mountains better than they did on Tuesday against the Clippers – 9:32 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Lauri Markkanen has 15 points and 4 rebounds and we have 2:36 remaining in the first quarter – 9:31 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
What I liked about the starting lineup is that it gave the Jazz a physical advantage at every position outside of Clarkson at shooting guard – 9:27 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz have to get in better shape, Will Hardy told us earlier this week, in order to play the kind of basketball they want to play.
I think we saw that on that last opportunity… everyone ran at kind of 75% speed, turning a potential fast break into a no-advantage 5-on-5 – 9:20 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
6:41 remaining in the first quarter. The Jazz lead the Blazers 17-15…..John Collins off to a good start with seven points…. – 9:19 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Very good start for John Collins who has 7 points including a corner three, but also found Walker Kessler on a high-low lob, is attacking closeouts, just finding ways to make an impact within the flow of the game.
#takenote | @kslsports – 9:19 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
If this were the regular season I would make the “Tweet” about Anfernee Simons – 9:17 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Nice recognition there by @thereal013. Pushed the ball in transition, wanted to get it to @JeramiGrant at the basket, saw it wasn’t there, kicked it back to @AnferneeSimons for the three. – 9:17 PM
Arash Markazi @ArashMarkazi
1. You knew USC was going to give up around 41 points. I wasn’t sure if USC was going to score enough to win but 6 points at the half and 3 INTs for Caleb Williams?
2. With games coming up against Utah, Washington, and Oregon over the next month this season could get ugly fast. – 9:16 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Why yes, John Collins IS a lob threat. Turns out, on both sides. – 9:12 PM

Seriously, good little tilt for the Utes against a Power Five. – 7:50 PM

El último director técnico de @NYKnicks que recibió una extensión de contrato fue Isiah Thomas have 24 años.
El acuerdo de Tom Thibodeau expira a fines de la temporada 2024-25. Devenga $5 millones por temporada, menos de lo que le paga DET a Monty Williams.

Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Watching warmups, it’s clear that the Jazz really do want Walker Kessler to be willing and able to shoot corner 3s this year… and to be able to run some screening action from that corner too. – 7:12 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Cole Becker kicks a 38-yard FG that makes it 34-14 Utah with 1:57 to play. – 6:14 PM
Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Good, tough run by Bryson Barnes for 10 on third-and-9, and Utah is now headed for the doorstep. One more first down should do it. – 6:11 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
“Been dealing with some nagging injuries lately, but it felt good to be out there, putting that Suns jersey on for the 1st time. Looking forward to the game Monday.”

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
“Finding the flow after a slow start and getting a piece of what our defense can be.”
“He was doing it all around.”
“It was just competitive, competitive and fun.”

Utah could use a 12-play, 5:30 drive to get out of here. – 5:51 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Zemaiah Vaughn with some great coverage on 3rd and 9 forcing an incompletion.
Cal’s 30-yard FGA misses.
Utah still leads 24-14 with 7:49 to go. Utes take over at the 20. – 5:48 PM
Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
The Utah defense has pretty quietly done a very nice job defending Jadyn Ott, the Pac-12’s second-leading rusher. – 5:37 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Sion Vaki has brought some much-needed wiggle to the Utes’ rushing attack. He’s now at 86 yhards on 14 carries.
End 3Q: Utah 24, Cal 14. – 5:27 PM
Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Fours up: Utah 24, Cal 14.
Utes have fresh downs at the Cal 37 when we come back.
Sione Vaki: 14-86-1, 6.1 YPC – 5:26 PM

Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Jonah Elliss with the strip sack, and he appeared to job off the field holding his arm, tough to see from up here.
Cole Bishop jumps on it, and Utah can step on Cal’s throat here. – 4:57 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Jonah Elliss forces the fumble with a big hit, Cole Bishop recovers it. Utah has the ball on the Cal 13. – 4:57 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Devin Booker on Scoot Henderson: “Watched him when he was in the G League. I think he’s going to be really good. Obviously we all have some things to learn but it looks like he loves the game, has a high IQ for it, a body built for [it] and his athleticism is off the charts.” – 4:55 PM
Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
On third-and-3 at the 5, a rush up the middle goes nowhere, and to come out of that drive with a Cole Becker 23-yard FG is frustrating.
Remember, via Kyle Math, that is not a red zone win, he’ll be displeased with the outcome.
Utah 17, Cal 7, early 3Q – 4:54 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Frank Vogel said Bradley Beal (back) was a “full participant” in practice today, expects Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Beal to play Monday vs. Blazers.
Also said Drew Eubanks (ankle) was “non-contact participant” Saturday and that Ish Wainright (calf) won’t play Monday. #Suns4:51 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Frank Vogel said he expects Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker to all play on Monday.
Beal was a full participant in practice today after missing Thursday’s game in Portland due to low back tightness. – 4:48 PM

Halftime: Utah 14, Cal 7.
Three drives of 10+ plays, including two for scores, is a good look. – 4:28 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
HALFTIME: Utah 14, Cal 7.
Vaki’s TD was first rushing TD by Utah defender since Eric Weddle in 2006 Armed Forces Bowl.
Utes have 210 yards — 159 rushing, 51 passing.
Cal has 143 yards — 104 passing, 39 rushing. – 4:28 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz
Vaki takes it as the wildcat from the 1, initially stood up, but gets a push and makes it in. PAT is good, 14-7 Utah with 26 seconds left 1H.
Utah went 89 yards in 15 plays.
Vaki now has 66 rushing yards on 10 carries. – 4:25 PM
Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Sione Vaki, 1 run, off a direct snap with some help via push.
Vaki: 10-66-1, Utah’s leading rusher this afternoon.
I have a lot of questions.
Utah 14, Cal 7. – 4:24 PM
Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Nice ball from Bryson Barnes to Money Parks down to the 11, plus a roughing the passer.
Utah on the doorstep – 4:19 PM
Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Cal receivers have dropped two passes that would have likely gone for touchdowns.
USC receivers make those plays a week from now and Utah is down two scores early. – 4:07 PM

Ja’Quinden Jackson, 3 run, and this might be the best he’s looked all season.
10 plays, 48 yards, 5:33. Nine of the 10 plays were runs, I believe 7 of the 9 were by design.

Jadyn Ott, 48 pass from Fernando Mendoza opens the scoring.
Same kind of play they missed on earlier when Ott was open, and Mendoza delivered that while getting absolutely crushed by a blitzing Karene Reid.
Cal 7, Utah 0 – 3:26 PM
Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Nothing fancy has to happen here today for Utah’s offense. All that has to happen is move the ball forward.
That’s exactly what’s happening here early on the opening drive. – 3:14 PM

Chase Carter handling kickoff duties for Utah today – 3:07 PM

It’s Chase Carter kicking off for Utah, not Cole Becker, so there’s that. – 3:07 PM
