The Down Payment was to the Jazz

THT is definitely improving. Glad to see him cutting down on his wild stupid ****. If he can reign that in and play with the offense more he could be an impact energy guy. He has settled down on his 3 point shot too. Have to wonder how much of that is the impact of Hornacek.

Totally agree.
 
THT deserves a more aptly titled thread cause he was huge last night and continues to get better and better. Last night he came in at a crucial juncture of the fourth and proceeded to play some lockdown defense on Murray and QB the offense. He and Sexton are having quite an informal competition for minutes - last night is score one for THT!

What's with y'all trying to police thread titles? Go make a THT thread if you want a different title. This title is GOATED.

I don’t have time for that! I leave the heavy lifting up to the big dogs like you. I still think THT appreciation thread is more direct and to the point.
 
THT can do the unexpected and bring a lot of fun to games.
I don't know him well at all and so want to ask about a particular decision he made.
Check the video below.. on the fastbreak it's 2vs1 around the rim but he instead decides to feed Clarkson, who is wide open for a 3P shot on the corner.
Is it a high IQ play like "Hmm Clarkson would score 70% of the time from there, so expected points is 3*70% = 2.1 already higher than 2 - so I'm passing to him"
or is it a chaotic decision making process?

Honestly I have no idea. In real-time I felt like he ****ed up his footwork and the little fake thing the defender did kind of threw him off and he got caught in a weird spot and just tossed it out to Clarkson, but maybe it was all planned.

Man, the give to Kessler was nice too.

He sees his teammates better than what I gave him credit for.
 
Never understood the hate THT got by the Jazzfanz community.
Did you not watch him in preseason and the first couple games he was sooo bad, and displayed low IQ up the Yin-yang. But, since then he’s grown on me. He still infuriates me from time to time with some of the things he does. I see why the lakers loved him in the beginning and couldn’t wait to get rid of him in the end. I think he’s good in spurts, but leave him in long enough and he inevitably does something cringe worthy. But I will say, he comes up with some of the most brilliant moments. The block and fast break into a wide open three for JC was so fun a highlight.
