DA needs to blow up this team asap

 

[Shad]

I'm glad we played our sharp shooter Jordan Clarkson the most minutes tonight. What a brilliant performance of 5-15 and 1-7 from the 3. Truly a phenomenal player that deserves the most minutes

Here's another great stat. Guess what Clarkson is shooting over the last 5 (FIVE) games from 3? 15.86% LMAO. Yeah, he deserves to be played the most minutes on the team

 

[jom2003]

Yeah we are definitely making a move.

Doesn't matter if it's selling or buying. The last thing we want is to miss the playoffs and give OKC our 11th pick in the draft.

We need to get significantly better OR worse to get off this treadmill right now.

lol, yeah that box-and-one was really giving the Sixers fits.

I really hope he's just trolling and the actual answer is that he was ordered to showcase certain vets for trade deadline purposes.

OK I get they are showcasing Clarkson, to the detriment of the team tbh, but playing Kessler only 14 minutes tonight was criminal, regardless of the scheme.

Kessler was +4 and Collins was -7 which has been the pattern with these 2 all season long. Yes I will concede that Kessler has a few warts esp when it comes to his aggressiveness and poor FT% but they are generally a better team with him on the floor.

This is my take. Let it burn.

He was Limp William tonight instead of Hard Willy.

Hadn't read this game thread or most this month. So sorry if this is already a thing.

I'm still a Hardy supporter, but is he trying to stealth tank with vets or trying to get fired? Cause it's the only thing that's made sense, not just this game but several games now.

Clarkson has been struggling and somehow getting more and more minutes, he's closed out the 1st and 2nd half playing 17-18 straight minutes.....

Hardy preaching defense,rebounding and hustle and Kessler and Dunn play about 5-6 minutes in the 2nd half........

KO had a better game tonight then in a bit and I'd been begging to reduce his minutes in games he's struggling then tonight he gets taken out early in the 4th.....

I can't believe all these things are being done out of ignorance or incompetence, but for the life of me I can't find the logic, other then tanking by overplaying vets.

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

Send Clarkson somewhere he will be held accountable for his subpar play. It will never happen with this Jazz, and it's a huge problem. He needs shorter leash

No worries dude, still plenty of February left.

This is a whack answer honestly. 76ers barely scored with Kessler on the floor so he must be doing something right.

We are flat out just not playing our best players the most minutes right now.
