The headline was the number one pick versus the number five pick.

The headline did not play out.

The Mavericks outplay the jazz.

We break it down next on postcast.

David Locke along with Ron Boone, your Utah Jazz Radio team, bringing you postcast here after every single jazz game. Thanks for joining us live in the chat room or wherever you might be. Jazz fall tonight to the Dallas Mavericks 114 to 101. Talking to some of the jazz front office people as they were leaving the arena tonight. There's another night. A lot of growth positives. They like where they're seeing, a lot of good effort,

a lot of things.

But the story that we were hoping to have come in

was a Cooper flag versus Ace Bailey matchup. That did not really happen in this one. Walt Clayton didn't really step. Had some interesting moments, didn't shoot it well. but there was maybe a little bit of this is your third game in the NBA

preseason.

And oh, my gosh, wait, my legs aren't moving.

My body's not right.

Like, oh, this is what this is going to be like.

We don't play Thursday, Saturday, and get a whole week off before our next game anymore.

And another thing is that regardless of how you played the last game, players just continue to get better.

I mean, they are, get to the point where, you know, they're equally as good as you are and much stronger.

So you're constantly trying to prove yourself and just be a better player every night.

It doesn't change.

Ace Bailey went one of five and ten minutes. He did not play the second half. He had bilateral knee soreness. Cooper Flagg went three of 13, one of six and three. He did have seven rebounds. He had two steals and two blocks. He finished with 11 points. Did you have any impressions on either of them tonight or both just kind of precinct I was watching I'd watch

Bailey play a few minutes before tonight's game and and you can see you're flag I'm sorry

flag and and he's is the real deal it's not like he's a ball hog but because he moves well without

the basketball and I think he plays well within the system there as well.

Same thing I'm saying with Bailey in the first two ball games, especially, not so much tonight
