Welp.

The only thing we got out of that game is the realization that Flip is a potential bust.
Come on, you did not like what you saw from Lofton? He was good in the paint against the bigs, he was (mostly) able to stay with the wings on the perimeter and generally played with poise and fire. The Jazz were +1 in his 23 minutes, by the way.
 
Tonight is a glaring demonstration of what will happen if the Jazz trade away Kessler: completely insolvent team defense. Easy way to tank and keep Lauri.
It sucks cause Im a big Kessler fan and want him on the team but if trading him gets is a star by losing more (I know I know we could lose the lottery etc) then I want to trade him.
At least I would still have Sexton and Lauri. Would hurt more to lose either of them.

That’s another angle: scoring 130 points a game but giving up 140 is the most fun way that we could successfully tank.
 
This really stunk. If I'm Hardy I'm planning my next assistant coaching gig. Brice might be the only bright spot. Makes everyone yearn for the golden days of Dok, Bolmaro, Ochai and Luka.
 
We were already the worst defense in history….Without Kessler we could see some truly diabolical defensive outcomes.
Maybe they would attempt to figure some things out instead of doing the old “walker can you clean this up?










Or maybe not.
