Since we're talking about them today for no reason in particular, old Coldplay is very good (specifically the first four albums) with the exception of one of two awful songs and recent Coldplay is very awful with the exception of one or two very good songs

The RSL attack is still super iffy, stop-start stuff. 13th in the West in xG. But the defense seems to have figured out a lot in the last few weeks, which has been the difference maker for this team going unbeaten in 5 straight.

Jazz win 86-76, go to 1-3 in SL.


Cody Williams: 9-16, 23 pts, 2 rebs, 2 ast.
Isaiah Collier: 7-17, 17 points, 3 ast
Max Abmas had 15 points.


One last game on Friday vs. Bulls.

Jazz running away with this summer league game, they'll get their first win in Vegas barring a catastrophic 4th Q. Cody Williams up to 23 points. The Wizards look bleak offensively.

John Tonje's been downgraded to out tonight.

The Triple Team: Kyle Filipowski leads summer league in scoring. Should he start for the Jazz next year? Kyle Filipowski nearly won Monday's summer league game for the Jazz, with 35 points and 11 rebounds. Plus, thoughts on John Tonje's debut and Elijah Harkless' singular talent in one area.

1. Kyle Filipowski, leading scorer at summer league
2. How did John Tonje look in his debut?
3. Elijah Harkless, best in basketball at drawing moving screens

Spurs win 93-91.


Filipowski terrific: 35p, 11 r, 11-19 from the floor. Collier: 12 points (5-17) but 12 ast. Tonje good in his debut, had 16.

Minix wins the game for San Antonio! He's mobbed by the whole team in the corner. Phenomenal phenomenal fadeaway turnaround right over John Tonje.

Kyle Filipowski! His punctuating dunk ties this game at 91 with 1.9 seconds left in overtime!

Harper tied the game, then Collier pulled up from the baseline to get the buzzer beater and hit only iron. We have summer league overtime!

Flip post up out of the timeout... and he made the layup look easy. Jazz back up 86-84, Spurs have the ball, 9 seconds left. Filipowski now has 30 points, 10 rebs.

Spurs 2 FTs tie this game at 84. Jazz have 11.9 seconds to get a game-winner or we go to summer league OT. Very fun vibe in Thomas & Mack right now.

Isaiah Collier with a big block on Dylan Harper's attempted layup to take the lead! Great read from the corner.

Collier gets the tech, he felt he was fouled on that last drive.


Jazz have let this lead slip, Spurs now lead by 6 with 2:30 left.

Really nice start from the Jazz in this game, now up 16-6. Much better defense, and ball movement has found open shooters.

Jazz starters: Collier/Harkless/Tonje/Williams/Filipowski

Jazz say Jaden Springer "will instead be participating in vet workouts for the remainder of summer league" in explaining his absence.

Kyle Filipowski and Alex Toohey get in a kerfuffle right before the halftime whistle. Looks like Toohey fell to the floor hard and wasn't happy about it. We will review.

Okay this is no longer a joke, Gabe Madsen has 15 points and may be outplaying any of the Jazz's actual NBA players.

Elijah Harkless won't return tonight (right wrist soreness).

The U's Gabe Madsen, on the Warriors' summer league roster, is the leading scorer of this game rn. (Okay, yes, it's still 1Q, and it's just 6 points.) But I didn't expect to say that at any point!

Just something that Austin Ainge talked about as being a strong side of Walt's in a way that I didn't hear w/r/t Isaiah... doesn't mean Isaiah's "not a leader" but just younger/hasn't drawn success out of his teams

The Triple Team: Kyle Filipowski, Walter Clayton, Jr. show their scoring versatility in NBA summer league Kyle Filipowski was a standout on Friday afternoon at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Plus, news on Walter Clayton's game and injury, and a statistical look at what translates from summer league p...

The Triple Team is online and in inboxes:

1. Kyle Filipowski was a huge standout today, and he hopes that he'll have a big role next season.
2. Walter Clayton Jr's injury, and play before that
3. What translates from summer league to NBA play?

Walter Clayton Jr said that his hamstring "was just a little tight," but that he planned on playing in the Jazz's upcoming summer league games.

Hornets beat Jazz 111-105.


Kyle Filipowski was terrific, he put up 32 points (12-17 shooting), 6 rebs, 5 ast.
Walter Clayton had 21/6/3 before his hamstring injury, which makes me concerned about his availability rest of SL.
Cody Williams started slow, but 11p in 4Q, 21 total.

Walter Clayton limped off the court in that timeout, he's holding his hamstring.

Kyle Filipowski's been absurdly good today.

We were having this discussion on press row as well... but good case to be made Clayton *should* be better than Collier right now. He's older, and a higher draft pick. I think we're seeing evidence of that on the court.

Charlotte up 60-48 on the Jazz at the half. KJ Simpson torching the Jazz, but Clayton and Filipowski have looked pretty good.
