Added to Calendar: 11-18-22

This game may have sent me off the edge. At times they looked sooooo good, and then they’d turn around and have some of the stupidest dumbass defensive miss cues or turn the ball over in the most idiotic dumb moves or give up a fast break off a made bucket or in one on one situation we’d just for some odd reason back off of Booker as if to say here you go. Needless to say my wife is on the phone in the middle of having me committed and it’s probably for the best, I’m just going to let it happen.

Yep. They are in pretty much every game. I think the denver game was the only one that was over when there was like 5 minutes to go still.

Sorry but these wins on the back of Olynyk and Conley are not a recipe for long term success. Ask the treadmill Knicks about moral victory wins when a potential superstar is available in the draft.

When we are getting our butts whooped by the next generation of stars Victor, Scoot, Amen, etc the next decade we can look back on this.

Back of olynyk lol. You have to be kidding. I put this on the back of markennan more than anyone. Probably beasely after that. Vando had major contributions too.

Lauri played well but he was getting pushed around like a rag doll trying to grab any rebounds in the last few minutes of that game.

Even more of a reason not to play him at the 5 like cy suggested then.
btw, lol at the adjective you chose to use to describe his play tonight. Career high deserves a different adjective than "well" imo.
 
I just want to go on record as saying that everybody is entitled to a rough night every now and then. Sure Olynyk struggled some tonight but he’s coming off a performance where he scored 27 points with ten boards. Kessler struggled as well, just not as conspicuously as Olynyk did in crunch time. As usual, Sexton played simultaneously terrible and amazing at the same time - some strong D in transition. Clarkson was playing so bad, coach forgot about him on the bench for a minute, but man did he come back motivated in crunch time. Conley forgot he was a midget in the land of the giants for a minute but besides Markkanen was the star of the game and huge down the stretch. I’m not giving up on none of these guys!!!

I'm all for them competing and playing hard but man the draft odds just keep getting worse and worse..

Sorry but I think this team needs one top 5 pick and they could be set for a nice long run. I don't think they have enough young talent at this point especially when you compare our under 24 yo players to some of the other rosters in this league.

Good news is they have SO MANY picks that the odds of one of them being an all star is pretty high. I would guess that more than one of our picks we acquired recently becomes an all star.
Or we could use some of the picks to acquire a star via trade. Things look good for the jazz franchise. Its not a bad thing to have a really good young cheap team with an amazing coach lots of draft picks and financial flexibility. This is a good thing.

On the back of Olynyk? Dawg Olynyk was on Phoenix’s team tonight it was 6-4 and we still won.

This is correct but that doesn’t mean we can’t be pissed about how bad they were tonight.
