Added to Calendar: 11-02-23

Clarkson needs to be coming off the bench. He's a better player than he's looked like this year, but his skill set just isn't a good match for starting and playing heavy minutes every night.
He needs to be traded. I love the guy, but he's really suited to be a sixth man on a playoff team.
 
No, it was a good throw when you watch from the right angle.kelly thought he would cut into the open space instead of going to the 3
Dude it was a horrible pass. If Key cuts inside that ball hits his feet. Wagner picks it up from just a little above knee height from the top of the key which is a place where Keyonte was never going be.

Clarkson goes 5/20 with 6 turnovers and gets 37 minutes. He is obviously a superstar to Hardy with that type of leash.

Sexton instead goes to the doghouse immediately if he isnt feeling it. Clarkson has been our 4th best guard this year and I think he has more stinkers than decent-or-better games.

You make a valid point based on this season alone - last game he did find some magic though. Still, Hardy knows what kind of closer he is. Sexton hasn’t shown enough to be a closer yet imo. And to be fair, Clarkson was pretty solid in crunch time.

He was really out of sorts tonight which may or may not have had something to do with Ingles and his antics. I used to like the guy (Ingles) but no more, not after what I saw.

because he’s still clutch. Sometimes I just want to sit clarkson and just put him in at crunch time.

He didn't log those 21 extra minutes over Sexton and Keyonte in the 4th alone. Closing lineup is one thing and there I would play Clarkson if no one else is clearly hot (while he is cold), but this game never should have been close. Clarksons play and the refs giving Magic 36 FT on touch fouls in a rather clean game were the two main reasons why we didn't run away earlier.

Why would you play any guard 37 minutes on a B2B, let alone someone who is struggling all game, unless he actually is a star or superstar level guy?
 
Clarkson and Sexton both sucked bad this game. This was frustrating to watch though. They were just super physical and getting a of calls. It got most of our team worked up.

Lauri was okay but struggled a bit after the fall, which I dont blame him. Collins had a great game along with yurtseven.

Dunn actually played well in his limited minutes besides missing an easy one at the rim. But his defense and passing were solid.

Kessler had his ups and downs that game pretty extreme.

Banchero is apparently a superstar now with those calls getting to the line at will. This game basically was even except one team got a lot more FTs. It does make it hard for refs when you basically foul non stop like Magic were most of the game.

Either way this is a game you need to win. We had so many bad possessions even at the end. The really ugly turnovers unforced are really hard to watch.
 
There’s a lineup that worked in the 3rd. Lauri, yurt7, sexton, Simone and keyonte. They played 4 mins cut the lead from 8 to 1. Wondering why Hardy didn’t play that lineup longer.
 
I say before the season that TO will be one of our weak point. Was not obvious the last games but was pretty cleear tonight. JC, Sexton are TO prone. THT improve a lot right now. We still have a lot of job to do....
