These last few losses have been absolutely textbook. Look bad most the game but then show some spunk and get it within 10 for a bit but still secure the L.

if Cody played for the lakers, and he was able to draw a foul (stick with me here...) would the Lakers fans cheer M-V-P for him?

Textbook would be looking good then losing at the end. Jazz doing the opposite of textbook

I think the Lakers would trade with us, but they'd want us to take back Dlo.

Kind of hilarious that for as bad as the Jazz looked for the majority of this game- like completely inept- this ended up only being a 6 point loss.

That Knecht flurry ended up being the deciding factor of the game.

If his name was Cody James

Keyonte looked good in the 2nd half. He'll be fine, for those who have been concerned.

Knecht was getting draft looks inside the top 10. Not sure why he fell all the way to 17. He was obviously going to be able to score. The knock was his defense, his fairly average size, and his age limiting his ceiling.

He obviously just had a Klay Thompson-like outburst.

I would prefer it if our players started playing well before the game is out of hand, but beggers can’t be choosers.

I think Keyonte knows the Jazz are planning to lose games. His attitude has been a bit aloof.

What was Cody obviously going to be able to do?

Players like him falling out of the lottery is a bit of a win/win for them and the team. They get to win right away, and teams in the playoff mix get a guy who is ready to contribute at a low cost right away.

Sexton and Clarkson were using up a lot of the offense in the first half. Nice to see Key take over.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

What was Cody obviously going to be able to do?

Playmake, get to the rim and convert, defend multiple positions, probably shoot well enough, maybe self-create and beat smaller guards in isolation. That's what he did at Colorado when he was engaged. Cody's problem is that his body isn't ready to do most those things right now.

Be a super young project to develop while we tanked? Was this a secret to you?

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

Fracking embarrassing.

You let the hot hand shoot five times in a row from the exact same spot.

Hardy has to go.

"...everybody in the gym knew that Dalton Knecht was going to shoot the next shot, with the exception of a few people. The problem was that those few people were on our team." --Hardy

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

It's no consolation, I know, but when Dalton Knecht was Cody's current age he was playing at Northeastern Junior College. Knecht was a 5th-year senior by the time he got to Tennessee.

Come on, the Lakers knew they were winning the game and coasted to the end.
