It shouldn’t work as well as it does but the Conley/Sexton/Clarkson/Olynyk/Markkanen lineup is really ****ing good.

Coming into tonight this lineup had a staggering +46.3 net rating. It will be interesting to see it updated after tonight because I thought they played extremely well again.

Ya he looked tired. A lot of shots hitting front rim.

Yeah. His shots were short. His defense always seemed a step slow. His drives seemed slow. Even when he’d charge into traffic he seemed to lack the characteristic explosion that we’ve seen for 20 years. Lonnie Walker and Westbrick both seemed to have much more bounce than Lebron. I halfway expected him to get stuffed by the rim on his one dunk.
 
Omfg. The LA media fears LeBron so much. Just checked the post-game presser, and they asked apologetic questions about basketball for 3-4 minutes then proceeded to talk about Kyrie, elections and other things for the next 8 minutes.

They literally asked like 1 question related to the game and its result.

Definition of Jazz

noun
a type of music of black American origin which emerged at the beginning of the 20th century, characterized by improvisation, syncopation, and usually a regular or forceful rhythm. Brass and woodwind instruments and piano are particularly associated with jazz, although guitar and occasionally violin are also used; styles include Dixieland, swing, bebop, and free jazz.

verb
play or dance to jazz music.

What is a simple definition of jazz?

Definition of jazz

American music developed especially from ragtime and blues and characterized by propulsive syncopated rhythms, polyphonic ensemble playing, varying degrees of improvisation, and often deliberate distortions of pitch and timbre.

----

Uh. So far the definition is true, real, meaningful, and fitting. By eye test.

I don’t know if it’s improvisational or just really well choreographed but I am constantly amazed by the way that the play develops for the Jazz and the seamless executions. Camp was just a couple of weeks and yet we’re like this well oiled machine that our opponents can’t quite predict or anticipate. I always heard how complicated Snyder’s offense was and yet we were so predictable; guys picked up the Hardy playbook in two weeks and it seems inscrutable and nuanced.

I was not fan of putting those 3 together at the beginning but i really was wrong. They play really well and move the ball so fast. It's incredible to see how JC improve collectively this year.

That’s what you call overthinking. I will always be a fan of these types of lineups, sadly Quin wasn’t.

You are right. this line up is a killing one. Fast, precise and efficient. Just wonder if we can maintain this level on 82 games. But it's impressive and so fun to watch. Last year i quit on almost half of the games as it was so boring, Quinn coaching like a robot. I'm also so inpressend by Hardy, He is so young but so smart already.
