Game Thread Jan 07, 2023 06:00PM MT: Jazz at Bulls

[underdog]

Conley was -26 in the box score.

He was on the court when Hardy sat Lauri and the Bulls gained a 10-point lead. That's when the Bulls got the momentum and their 3s started to go down as a result. I would keep Lauri and Conley together as much as possible as our offense has been most efficient when they are on the court at the same time. Obviously Mike can't play as many minutes, but why keep him playing when Lauri is sitting.

Clarkson does not need to be dribbling for 20 seconds per possession.

He seemed to intentionally avoid passing to Lauri in the 4th.
Seemed to really be looking to get his.
Trying to get paid i guess.

Seems like hardy has kind of lost the team a bit.

Drop big coverage against a team with the second best mid range shooter in the league and one of the best above the break three point shooters in the league who is red hot at the moment. Kessler minutes mirrored Drummonds.

Similar thing with Lauri, he come out for a quick rest with 2:45 left to play in the third quarter then was back on the court to start the fourth when he normally would rest for an extra couple of minutes. He made up for missing the additional rest by.subbing him out with around 7 minutes left to play, nothing wrong with that. The mistake Hardy made was putting KO back into the game and then finishing with him.

Do you guys pay any attention to the game.

Are you kidding me bro??? LOL

It was a critical point in the game and Lauri's 25 years old. He doesn't need to be "resting" at that point. It was a blatant tanking move. Hardy knew what would most likely happen - our offense would dry up and the Bulls would go on a run. And that's how it went.

{rubs hands together and chuckles an evil laugh} it's all coming together.

What are our 1st rounders looking like in next draft a late 1st and couple mid lottery 1st’s I think we need to package those up and get near top of the draft

 

[Conestoga Finn]

Lauri's stamina is the best in this team.

If someone is capable to play few extra minutes in this team, then it is Lauri.

 

[LogGrad98]

Lauri took one shot the entire 4th quarter until 1:30 left when he got his second attempt.

THAT CAN’T ****ING HAPPEN.

Well he sat on the bench for more than half of it. This **** it by design right now. Stealth tanking.

 

[fishonjazz]

Doesn't have to be those guys that we trade, I'm talking more about guys like JC, Beasley and maybe even Vanderbilt.

So we keep watching KO play 30 minutes? No thanks.

If we win with the young guys then great. If we lose with the young guys then great.
The plan from day 1 should have been to play the young guys and win or lose with them.

+1. Which make me say that Hardy go for tanking already. Plus the fact that he let Beasley way too long and put KO way too much too.

 

[fishonjazz]

You want to watch 40 more games of miserable losing? Followed by drafting some dude who'll never be half as good as Lauri? Or even Sexton? And who'll take 3 to 4 years to develop, meaning more losing years?

Hey, have fun. At that point I'm out. And if people think Markkanen will sign a multiyear deal with a team that sabotaged his career best season and can offer only more losing in the future - when he's in his absolute prime - they're wrong.

Your scenario could end up not being the outcome.

Vando has played well several games in a row now. Has made nice passes too. Just saying.

Did you even watch the game though? Kessler didnt play in the 4th. Bulls scored 43 in the 4th. Our defense is attrocious. Defense is kesslers thing. Kessler had one of the best plus/minus on the team. The team played well when kessler played.
Its like you didn’t watch the game or something.
