Walker Kessler’s Defense Thread

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Interesting and related information about the 8-3 stretch from NBA.com Power Rankings writeup:


As much as people hate the zone, 0.95 points per zone possession is a fabulous number.

Because people are incredibly reactionary to lowlights.

Kessler with 6 blocks last night. He’s averaging 3.3 BPG in only 25.1 MPG over our last 12 games. He’s +118 in this same span. He’s been wildly effective.

Hardy is switching his closing lineups a lot. He wants to start with better offensive players to get the flow of the offense going, so he goes with Collins there.

Kessler has just recently had a 12 minute 4th Q (@TOR) and a 0 minute 4th Q (vs MIA) in two wins. Against Miami KO was super hot and Hardy rode him and used Collins/Tech/Lauri with him as that was working. We won that quarter by 8 points. Against Toronto, Hardy played Kessler, Lauri, Ochai, JC and Dunn for all of the 12 minutes basically, and we won that quarter by 20 points.

Do you know how many minutes Kessler played in the 4th last night? Seemed like most of them.

I'm going to hate Kessler excelling in the role I said he best excels in? That's a new one. Being mad for being right.

Well you would usually respond to a post like that with something like "it was against the pistons". "They don't have guys who are good at finishing". "It's only because he is coming off the bench" or "he is just so soft though. Did you see that attempt that would make tht blush" blah blah blah.

Or just not comment at all like in this case.

One thing I know would never happen is a response like "damn, those are amazing numbers" or "that's even better than I realized".

I mean 3.3 blocks per game in 25 minutes is pretty insane.

I didn't say you never do.

What I said is that when SOMEONE ELSE (that is the key) praises Kessler you either don't respond or respond with some form of criticism.

If you praise Kessler then it's all good to you because it was you giving the praise and only you know ball. If someone else does then that's a problem because no one else knows ball like you.

Anywho I post numbers about Kessler defense and his efficiency (both things that are him excelling in his role as well) and it seems to make you argumentative

We played all 9 rotation guys in the 4th, and Kessler had the 2nd lowest minutes at 5:33 (Ochai 4:41) but the best +- at +6.

Collins and KO both played about a minute more and were both -1.

Kessler played almost the entire OT though
