I'm also convinced Clarkson is still really good and if he's on the court with a good team that will tamper the moments where he tries to do too much he can be a difference maker for a playoff team off the bench.

Clarkson was always a great playoff player for us because he could get shots off when the offense broke down against great playoff defenses.

I definitely think Clarkson would be a great addition to a team for a playoff run. They need to have enough ball handlers and defenders though so that Clarkson wouldn't have to do too much.
 
Bright spots:

- Kessler held Jokic to 36/22/11 and only occasionally looked like he was gonna cry
- With the new baby and all, it's good Lauri has the ability to sleepwalk through an NBA game and get some rest. The one rebound in 30+ minutes was a nice touch
- Cody and Collier acting like they’re on fire when a random 3pt shot goes in is high comedy
- Watching Flip turn down wide open looks doesn't raise my blood pressure anymore. I've accepted that's who he is. The second coming of Luke Walton

Jazz was worse team with Keyonte playing tonight compared to those games he sat out.

Key had the second best +/- rating at -8 of all the starters for whatever that’s worth. I mean all of our guards miss the open man, and imo Key does this less than JC and Sexton. He did set up Kessler multiple times last night. I watched JC miss both Lauri and Juzang wide open for three on the base line because he was in his I’m going to shoot no matter what tunnel vision mode. Let’s not forget he’s a 21 year old second year player and he’s a million times better at running an offense this year over last year.
 
Our rookies played decent so that's huge. It's rare when all three look nice in the same game. And another loss is wonderful.
 
Pretty good game. Thought Kessler was quite good tonight against Jokic, I am very worried about our team culture as it pertains to defense. Nobody else gives a **** and while that’s all fine in a tanking context, these habits can linger around. I know Hardy has said he does not focus on defense in the past, but it would be a great time to start thinking about that.

Rooks were pretty good again.
 
im a big big fan of kessler. last night was not his best game. joker pushed him around and made sweet music on his ***. joker was just awesome all game long.

Crazy that Walker cant fully shutout a top 10 player of all time.
 
That was a really fun game. Was nice to see a lineup of Collier, Cody, Clarkson, Brice, and flip play the nuggets evenly for quite a long stretch. That is about as bad of a lineup possible for us on paper and they played really well. I was shocked. The starters came back in and saved the tank.

It's ****ing Jokic.....

The dude is going to finish his career as a top 5 player of all time and he is currently in his peak. No one on the roster even has a prayer at guarding him and he got no help weak side rebounding in the cases Jokic did miss. Shut the hell up. File this one under stupid complaints

Bro, other guys guard Jokic and don't let Jokic go right through him.
