[JazzMan4Life]

Is there a single damn person who thought we were contending this year?

you beat me to my own reply, I meant playoff contender

 

[framer]

I can definitely see improvement. I think if we can get Clarkson right we should be right there. Our front line played well enough to win

 

[framer]

On another note, Keyonte has officially replaced Dunn's spot in the rotation. That's progress!

Kesslers coming out party tonight. Great game from Kessler.

10/11 FG. 13 REB in 29 min. Damn.

The lads at least competed in the second half. Right now Ochai and Dunn just stink. Maybe Ainge can get a second round pick for both.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Lauri and THT were the only two players with a positive +/- tonight.

 

[Step-Back Hook]

Lauri with 27/14/5 stats looks nice but could have been better with 23fgas. His 3-stroke has been solid but inside game has been less efficient this season. He has to sell those contacts and get into the FT line more - take advantage of the NBA officiating instead of taking tougher shots.

Also Walker is back! Better fg% than Jokic!!!

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Remember the hydra offense… if Don didn’t get you, Bogey/Mike/JC would. We have the opposite of that… if THT and Sexton play well JC/Dunn/Ochai will play like ****… we have all the volume low efficiency scorers.

They played with effort but collectively still lots of dumb play. Nuggets shot horribly coming off a back to back… just a business like win.

Key was still good but had a rough sequence that got him benched… of course I saw JC have like 3 or 4 of those type sequences tonight.

Good to see Kessler do well. Not a great John Collins game. I can see why you all hate Ochai so much (I’m his number one fan). Jk… kind of.

There were a few that were pretty obvious fouls. It really sucks that flippers get rewarded when guys that power through get nothing.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

JC with 4 points and 5 turnovers… 20% shooting from the field. Yeesh.

 

[KqWIN]

Good night for moral victories I guess.
