R.I.P. The Tank

Stop relying on those numbers for the fourth quarter, the jazz weren’t playing team ball in the fourth. Pels didn’t force OT because Kessler was on the bench. Pels forced OT, because the jazz abandoned the offense for that good old DM late game offense. The offense was completely different from what it was at any other part of the game with or without Kessler. If Lessler had played in that time frame his +/- numbers wouldn’t have been as good.
How did we abandon good team offense for bad iso offense though? Does subbing off a good team player who sets good screens & make good cuts for a bunch of iso players who always look to shoot whenever they have the ball has something to do with that?

I have yet to see Lessler do anything of merit on this team. **** that guy.

Markkanen for one pretty much didn’t touch the ball at all for most of the last 7-8 minutes of regulation because Conley and Clarkson went off on their own abandoning the offense. What does Kessler have to do with that??
 
rallying their fan base around the potential to land a franchise player was clearly not the goal of this org , despit it seemingly so by the national broadcasters and the typical fan who assumes the only way to winning is having a franchise player and the only way to a championship is having 2 or more.
But they had 2 and never won it all, so they hit reset and fasforward in the same offseason. They did not hit shut down or restart.
 
The main reason the Pelicans came back was we didn’t score for like a 6 minute stretch lol. McCollum got going offensively and hit some tough shots.
too many settles for off balance out of rhythm shots, by JC who thinks he is Kobe again, and too many gimmies missed by Mike Marky and others.
This also not a good rim protecting team at all.
