Added to Calendar: 11-19-23

I still think we win this one with THT. Suns prepared well Vs clarkson and keyonte but not tht or sexton. He put up 25pts but didn’t play the last 14 minutes of the game.
 
In the postgame Hardy indicated that he kept Keyonte in the game in OT because of developmental reasons. He wanted him to get that experience. Wasnt necessarily a "coaching to win now" choice, but "coaching to win the future" instead.
 
Tough loss obviously, We play well. Refs are pure garbage as usual when they officiate a ''top team''..... this is the most annoying things in NBA for me. Refs have 2 ways officiating, one for normal team and one for ''star'' team...

There's another name for that kind of thing.
 
THT 9-18, 4-10 from 3, 3-3 FT, 4 REB(2 ORB), 3 AST, 2 STL, and... 1 TO in 29 min. His gadget-arms also caused a steal that Keyonte got and he was very active on defense.

Final foul overturned as Suns top Jazz in double overtime

The good news is the Utah Jazz won't have to see Kevin Durant again until February.

"Another bright spot was Markkanen going toe-to-toe with a future Hall-of-Famer. It was poetic, in a sense, that the game ended with a play involving both Markkanen and Durant since both put their teams on their backs.

Durant had 39 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds; Markkanen answered with 38 points and 17 rebounds. It created a fun back-and-forth of a game that had a bit of everything: big shots, comebacks, buzzer beaters and a bit of controversy, too.

"He's done so much for the game. It's a pleasure to compete against him every time," Markkanen said. "Obviously, he's a heckuva player, and he did his job against us for sure. He's a player I watch film a lot on. It's a pleasure to be able to share the court and compete against that type of player. There's a lot of things I can learn from him."

Markkanen learned something about his own team Sunday, too.

"Obviously, you want to win that kind of game, but it didn't happen tonight," he said. "But we showed that we can play with these guys, and we're moving on to the next one."

I'm not going to buy the idea Hardy is coaching to lose. I think he is looking for day to day improvements and knows its still a long season ahead of us. Right now we are trending in the right direction.

It wasnt like he knew Key+JC pair was gonna lose the game for sure or that THT+Sexton would have won it for sure. He wanted to show trust in the rookie. That stuff carries weight.
 
The NBA needs to award a 1st round draft pick to the team who gets the most **** calls/no-calls that go against them over the course of a season. The second place team gets a 2nd round pick.

Looked like a great defensive play to me, was probably the right call. Don't think landing space matters when it's a loose ball, and the instant Durant blocked the shot it is a loose ball. Just like the contact on the arm doesn't matter after the block neither does the landing zone. Anyways, I hate talking about refs. Could not care less about talking more about it.

Most disappointing thing about the call is that distracts from another poor performance. This team is a mess, no idea what they're doing on defensive coverages. There are some individual moments of brilliance, but this is not a good team. Lot of brutal mistakes down the stretch.

I mean I have watched enough Jazz games to know that we NEVER get that benefit, especially against the likes of Booker and Durrant. You aren't allowed to have contact with the body when you "touch the ball." Nor are you allowed to have your hand on the shooter or land in their space. If this was the actual rule, Kessler and Gobert would be two of the most important players in the entire NBA.

Is there a single person who believes that call is reversed if it was Lauri fouling KD?

The contact on the arm matters 99% of the other times it happens though. Block or not.
