What a post move by Kessler.

Dude it was a fairly ordinary post move, the kid isn't Hakeem Olajuwon but yeah after years of watching Rudy not be able to do that its kinda nice to see it.

 

[Rubashov]

Rudy's career high is 35

Kessler is awesome! Fun to watch.

 

[Jingled]

The most points a rookie has scored this season is 33.

 

[underdog]

Let's put Brantley on the court. He's playing strong.

 

[Rubashov]

terrible offensive possession

 

[nateboz]

Kessler and Rudy both have 1 career game with more than 30 points.

Kessler is my biggest shock this season. Seeing Laurie play well in the summer leagues made this year not all that surprising. But this Kessler kid. Damn! And he’s a rookie.

I wish we could take all the credit for Laurie blowing up, but truth is he mostly did it himself. Kessler kinda feels the same, but in a way that nobody believed he could transition his talents from the college level to the NBA. I'm sure our coaches helped, but they deserve recognition for their individual work.

Hardy seems to like going Dunn/THT to close games but has it ever worked?

 

[Coach Ellis]

I love that Ochai had the confidence to tell Will Hardy that it was a clean play and then Hardy had the trust in his guy to immediately challenge it. Good culture being built here under his leadership.

We keep losing don't we? Success.
