I was rooting so hard against the jazz. My wife doesn’t understand the concept of tanking. I was getting some looks tonight.

Plus, I don’t need her putting me in my place everytime I say something stupid on jazzfanz.

I kept waiting for THT TNT TANK COMANDER to show up, never did.

THT was happening tonight. Simone too. And Dunn, Agbaji, and Juzang also had a good game. Opposition is afraid of Kessler at the rim. I love it. And he set up Lauri perfectly in this clutch play:

Did the Jazz resign Frank Jackson? He is listed in the box score a couple of places.

Very satisfying game tonight IMO. Not because we won, but more because our misfits and late first rounders and second (THT) completely outplayed their vast array of hand selected lottery picks. And then there's Markkanen and even Dunn that are proving that they are indeed blue chippers and worthy of their lottery status after all. Also it was edifying to see THT starting to fulfill that promise he had showed with the Lakers. And it was even awesome to see Fontechio finally break out of his extended slump - I do like the guy and would like nothing better than to be proven wrong about him.

THT wins are the most fun

THT per game after the trade day:
- 14 ppg
- 44% FG
- 35% 3FG%
- 78% FT%
- 4.3 Reb
- 5.6 Asst
- 3.5 TO
- 0.6 Stl
- 1.2 Blk

Plus, a positive 3.3 net rating, third on team behind Olynyk & Markkanen.

There's been a lot of seeing what people want to see in his play (to support long-held narratives, back to the trade/contract I suspect). He's not a starter for a good team yet, and maybe he'll never be, but he's still, and will always be, younger than Agbaji.

Love it. LOVE IT. I may have to start watching games again.
