The thing I like most about Collier is his steady, competitive mentality. He looks like he can play all day.
Flip also had a double-double for those keeping score at home.
Now replace John Collins with Cooper Flagg.
That was the best tank loss of the season. People were crashing out before the game was over. Elite tank loss.
When the Jazz desperately needed points they went to their star, Markkanen, and time after time he was unable to create good shots or make a good pass time. Just wasted possessions. This is the preview of future playoffs. When you are a star you are supposed to power your team in those moments. I really don't think that Lauri can be even a second option on a playoff team.

Hardy's in-game management has always been pretty suspect. Not missing the second free throw with 0,9 left, up by 2 is a fireable offense. Just idiotic, incredibly stupid. And that's 0 % on Lauri with Hardy shouting to him "MAKE IT!" just before the free throw. And no, that wasn't some 4D chess tanking move, just extremely bad coaching.
And then he tells the press multiple times "the end didn't matter, it was all about our D on Booker". Yeah, sure, that was the biggest thing, but you just lost the game for your players.

Good for tank, miraculous they lost it.
Good for Collier, he was really nice down in 4th.
Then there's that 40 million reasons to wonder HOW badly could Lauri even play in the overtime. For most of the shots/chances bricked or turned over all of them. I miss confident Lauri. If he finds it, Jazz start winning. If he doesn't, his asset valuation keeps going down both of these tanking seasons (I assume next season might go there as well)
