He should have called one after the made free throw.

True. But again, the players shouldn't even need coach to tell them to foul there. Everyone knew they should foul but the jazz players apparently. How could they not know after playing competitive basketball basically their entire lives?

Zero wins… career loser… always has been always will be… it’s all his fault.

At least they are building up his trade value, right?

Cody Zeller is barely 30. . .

Maybe he could go get a board.

I’ve watched a lot of professional sports and have seen coaches and players make a lot of dumb decisions regarding game management. I’m not out there playing or coaching but sometimes in the heat of the moment they might not be thinking straight. You’d think one of them would have fouled once it got down to around 10 seconds or something.

8 of the next 9 games are at home, including the next 6 in a row.

Heat of the battle and all that?

I mean KO is a 10 year vet and he was on the court. Kinda nuts if the whole team on the floor missed that signal.

Nah that’s the coaches call and he needs to communicate it… I think sexton should sit down with him and explain to him he needs to get his head in the game.

 

[Step-Back Hook]

This season MIGHT be about building an offensive identity first as when you get it done and going and throwing them in the fire at defense too it is also learning that side through sometimes getting cooked. KO is a bit older so he is not the project but he maximises Malik's and Lauri's and Collins offensive arsenal. That is also the reason I think is behind all of these decisions in 4th. And what comes to KO I think he is both a trade asset and a test cog for the future where we acquire someone younger and tall that can shoot. Or if Kessler develops a jumper - who knows. BC I do not buy into hardy just being dumb or stubborn. Not at all.

Sexton’s last 3 games:

16.7 PPG, 8 APG, 1 SPG, 58.1% from the field and only 4 total turnovers.

He had been great. Unfortunately once Conley gets back he goes to the bench and NAW goes to the dnp. It is frustrating to not make a full commitment to seeing what these young guys can do. Hopefully that changes though.

Which is why we should trade Conley. I’m not even really worried about getting a pick back unless we’re taking bad salary. Get salary filler and maybe a flier on a young guy. Conley’s getting up there in age and his contract isn’t the best but he does have positive value right now.

Zeller and Potter have both shown an aptitude to rebound. If coach isn't going to play Dok waive him.

The good news is that we are playing against solid teams. Best case scenario is we come out of that stretch 2-7 but I think more likely 5-4.
