That Collier FG% just keeps going up.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

he literally wasn't. even if he were (again, let's be very clear that he wasn't), i was talking in general, not one game. he's had plenty of efficient scoring games before.

Unless you want to count Mills he was.

mills is on the jazz, so i will count him. but again, that's beside the point.

What a great come from behind loss. Props to Hardy for a masterful coaching job and Collier and Cody for massive turnovers and bricks at the right time. Onward with the Flagg.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

collier is averaging 7 assists per game in january. also rebounds his position pretty well getting 4 per game. in just 26 minutes per.

I make a pretty good garlic bread with parmesan. I think I'll go put that together.

When are we going to see the two JCs again? Are their pictures on the back of milk cartons?

 

[framer]

Brice had 4 assists. That was fun.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Hey look, Cody made a nice defensive play here...

Not shocked the Jazz lost, but a bit shocked it came from Mark Williams scoring that many points against Kessler

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

Holy suckitude! The absolutely awful guard play from our 1st and 2nd year players in the clutch minutes cost the game and gained for the tank. Would much rather see those two to not close the game that horribly and find the opponent just outplay them. But I guess for the losing game everything goes. But man, was it ugly last few minutes. If they trade Sexton the Jazz games will be unwatchable post trade deadline.

Walker might become a bit unmotivated when he sees the team is sitting out players for "reasons".

I think he just got beat

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

It's just too hard to lose to bad teams in Urah

Our 3 wins all year at home says otherwise. Which means we have 7 wins on the road.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Collier would be an above average starting pg if he could shoot more consistently and not account for half our turnovers a game.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I'm watching the re-run on KJZZ. Keyonte had some really nice sequences out of pick-and-roll, delivering pocket passes to Kessler in stride. He's making some progress.

 

[HermanG]

That might be the first time I've seen Keyonte do anything positive defensively on a fast break.

Blocking KD dunk attempt?

 

[HermanG]

We got fans here trashing Key for his inefficiency when he is pretty much tied with Brandon Miller (2nd overall pick in the same draft) in shooting splits this year despite his horrible start. He is also the 3rd leading scorer from his draft class behind only Wemby and Miller.

Key has shot 41/39 in November, 45/36 in December and 44/40 so far in January, showing clear progress after his horrible October.

Hornets announcers and generally all opposing team commentators are saying "he looks nice" when they watch us play their teams, yet so many here piss on the kid. Disgraceful.

They hate our own hero’s. Not me.

My main theory is that him playing PG has led to way higher expectations. Once Sexton is traded and Collier is the starter, I think Keyonte will be put in a more natural role, will play better, and the general fan expectations of how he should play will be more inline with who he is.
