Collier has had some hilarious attempts around the basket in this one

 

[Douchebag K]

This feels like the basketball equivalent of a pity ****.

This is easily the post of the year

 

[framer]

Keyonte had another nice game.

they are so SOOO happy.

I know that ruined the tank but that was fun. Nine guys in double figures. Jazz won every quarter. The Blazer tears will be delightful.

Alright, take a deep breath, have a nice dinner, and gear up for 4 or 5 more losses.

This probably was the best 5-game stretch in Kessler's career statwise at 15-12-3. If he keeps playing like that he is firmly an-above average starting center in the NBA.

 

[idiot]

Maybe Jazz used up their quota of good play for another five or six games?

But that was some of the worst defense I've seen in a while from the Blazers. Like they opened up an interstate to the bucket about 30 times in this game.

Walker is top 10 in the league in rebounds and 2nd in the league in blocks at about 3 bpg. The Jazz seem to be open to trading him, but it's not all that easy to just pick up this type of defensive presence.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I don't get the sense that Deandre Ayton really likes basketball. He might just be collecting checks.

 

[CVJ]

Well, I wasn't expecting that.

I just watched the replay and the difference between the two teams this game could be summarized by Kessler >>>>>>>Ayton.

Kessler is #1 in the nba in block %

Ayton is so ***. Probably the worst contract in the NBA.

Tonight perfectly demonstrates the difference between “skill” and impact/value.

Truly insane how someone with his size/athleticism/skill can never get to the FT line.
