Tbf, Sexton was a worse black hole at the start of the season but out of those two he has been trending the right way.

Jokic exposing Walker's lack of physicality. That will be the biggest area of growth for him.

Key word growth. I bet he will grow literally. In size.

Off the back of the ever hated Gay.

This. Gay carried the team last night with his 2-7 five point, 2 rebound, 1 assist night. He was simply amazing.

Interesting and Honest analysis from Hardy on NAW:

This applies to everybody not named Conley. we are a turnover machine our guys are scorers not passers. I remember Bogut saying it's funny Kerr asked them to do some elementary passing drills in practice and it actually became the the key to GS championship success. Maybe we should try it. Whatever that is

THT had an amazing game if you take out the 1-7 from the line. Thats way too many attempts. Plus he had the ultimate tank shot with like 30 seconds left that i dont think even hit rim.

All in all he pretty awesome though

Its crazy that Hardy still wont use Kessler more. He has been very good for so many ganes now. Our defense is ridiculously bad. We were playing freaking jokic who is a giant. We were short handed. Vando and KO were in foul trouble. Kessler had another really good night: 4-6 for 10 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, only 2 fouls and highest plus/minus on the team. Looking at all that data i would think kessler probably played a season high in minutes. Maybe 35 or something.
Only gets 22 minutes.

[Isaiah 1:13]

He was on the injured list the past two games at least.

Thanks for the update JG! I’ve yet to see him on the Jazz bench which surprised me considering his impact in SL. Talk at the time was like how did this kid go undrafted. Recruited to Kentucky, transferred to UCLA, third team All American, made the Final Four. What’s not to like right?

 

[fishonjazz]

We watched him play, that's how.

I rarely saw him play before last night. I didnt watch him prior to the jazz so dont know if he got lots of opportunities then but since he has been with the jazz he hasnt played much.
He played in 15 games for the jazz prior to this year. Averaged under 10 minutes per game. Probably all garbage time minutes.

Man, KO has been playing his *** off.

Yep. And the statement remains true that KO is pretty incapable of getting stops at the rim. Its just not his game.

Why did THT take that 3??? Horrible shot early in the shot clock.

Tank shot. He took 7 of them. I think he thinks he is a good shooter.

Sloan would be playing the Hell out of Kessler.

Especially last night. Short handed playing against a huge ************* and KO and Vando in foul trouble and Walker playing well. I just cant understand how Hardy doesnt see what most of us see.

Maybe the sloan comment was comparing their rigidity or something. Though i dont see hardy as being very rigid with most players. Just Kessler.

Kind of a weird thing to say about a game the Jazz had no business being in in the first place.

Agreed. Oddly enough it still rings a bit true.
