As TNT crew criticizes Donovan Mitchell, Utah Jazz vow, ‘They’re going to have to watch us anyway’
Jazz’s seventh straight victory — 129-118 over the Pelicans — is marred by national broadcast analysts saying the guard “makes zero impact on the rest of the game” beyond scoring.
(Rick Bowmer | AP) Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (45) watches after laying the ball up over New Orleans Pelicans guard Eric Bledsoe (5) during the first half of an NBA basketball game Thursday, Jan. 21, 2021, in Salt Lake City.
Eric is a West Valley City native and a graduate of Granger High School and the University of Utah who joined The Tribune in 2003. He hoards rescue cats and guinea pigs, reads historical fiction, watches British baking shows, and obsesses over 1980s hair-metal bands in his spare time.
