The defense was atrocious, it's a god damn layup line. Also, it's kinda awesome that Keyonte is our smartest ballhandler, but also pathetic at the same time haha.

wait so you can review to see if it was off Sexton but you have to ignore that he was ****ing tackled… someone make it make sense.

My thoughts exactly. You are using the review so might as well correct the play.

It happened with Royce O'Neale? On the team with the best offense in the NBA while he was here?

Royce was great for us in that role. My only two gripes with Royce were I think he was a bit overrated as a defender, and sometimes he was hesitant to shoot when wide open and quickly passed instead. We did not need him to have handles or a drive game to have the best offense in the NBA.

Ya I expect and hope for ochai to be better than royce but if he ends up the same as royce then thats a win.

He was blocking 2.5 blocks a game last season now 0.5 per game I say that is going backwards and his rebounding is down

sorry but you gonna have to use a per 36 with this stat considering his minutes are down this year. still probably helps with your argument but you need to be using per36 with this one.

Jazz shouldn't be coming to double KD. They should guard him in single coverage, get into him and make him create for himself. Jazz are just giving up open 3s.

Ya that strategy failed big time. He found the open guy a lot that guy nailed the open 3 alot.

Jordan Clarkson needs a shorter leash. He's too boneheaded of a player to be given the keys to this extent. He's an underrated factor of us being booty tonight.

- George

Ya he had a rough game. that is the clarkson experience. Total roller coaster.

Would you prefer to win 38 games and give OKC the #12 pick?

Idk. What happens next season? How does the pick conveyence play out if we keep it this season?

BYU got blown out. University of Utah got blown out. Jazz asked them to hold their beer.

It’s top 10 protected in 2005, top 8 protected in 2006 and disappears after that.

I assume you meant 2025 and 2026. So we just have to suck really bad for like 3 more seasons and we dont have to give it away!!!!
I say we try to give it to them this season.

Also in that same presser Hardy was asked to assess Kesslers first 3 games and he didn't really hide that he has struggled. Said that Walker himself has also been very disappointed and hard on himself.

Hardy didnt point out any individual reason why he has struggled but didn't seem too worried about it. Spoke as if its just pressure caused by higher expectations.

kessler may have gained weight but he isn’t stronger than last year. Also Vs kings Barnes and sabonis was driving right tru him. Today he can’t even catch a drop pass. Maybe there’s pressure playing alongside collins. Maybe it’s KO. Hopefully he gets over it

Why would we want to give it to them this season when we still currently lack talent? That makes zero sense. This team still needs to be focused on young talent acquisition. Preferably wings with some good size and ball skills.
