THT showing flashes late in the season like this is actually best case scenario.

Showing enough promise to where you want him to exercise his option, but not enough to where he could get more now by opting out of it.

He is showing a bit of his inexperience, still very good for a rookie. Also needs to learn to not leave his feet on help when he has zero chance of blocking (think mid range jumper). He needs to box out instead to avoid letting the opponent have so many 2nd chance points.

Yes. I think it took Rudy a couple of years to be disciplined and stop going for every pump fake or jumper. Kessler will get fewer blocks and that's fine
 
THT was great, played about a under control as I've seen him.

Kessler wasn't great. Kept taking himself out of position.

Sexton is awesome, but has a ways to go before he starts making his teammates better.

Still a pretty competitive game considering how poorly our main offensive weapons were shooting most the game.

Kessler was out of position a lot tonight trying to cover for his teammates. Still pulled down 15 boards. The rebounding issue ain't him.

Should have traded him and rolled with Sexton/THT as our starters for the rest of the season.

I imagine they tried. If they could have gotten a FRP and turned it down, they are stupid. I don't mind his style of play after a broken play, but he takes too many early shots.

Sexton running into WK on the rebound and giving the Knicks another 3 was the dagger of the game
 
Win is a win and a loss is a win.

THT has been a revelation last two games just like I predicted he will be to end this season. Damn I love to see it as a believer.

Inserting JC back tonight did not kill the ball movement - a huge win. This was a good game aside threes not falling. Overall good ball movement

And Lauri... Effectiveness has been off last few games BUT - now he has done some good damage on the 4th as he needs to do. Earlier on the season he started hot and diminished in the end. Now it has been other way around and his shooting will not be as bad it was tonight for the 1st half. Also about five of his missed shots came from few tip-ins
lol. I would love to see his effectiveness get higher soon again but I guess for the tank this is good.
