The Cavs are hunting Kessler. They're involving him in as many pick and rolls as they can.

In other news, I cannot ****ing deal with Vando getting the ball at the FT line and not even looking at the basket.

That's going to happen a lot once Walker becomes a starter and he is more regularly going up against elite PNR guards.

Clarkson has been as bad as I've ever seen him. This is the second game in a row where we're REALLY missing Sexton. Clarkson dribbles into the trees without a plan and just doesn't have what it takes to score or get fouled in there.

This is a product of missing KO and just the simple fact the Jazz arent a good road team.
 
Looking at the schedule, the next 10 games are mostly on the road. A very reasonable expectation is to go 4-6 or worse. This team will be a lottery team very easily. If they end up making the playoffs, it'll be a miracle.

The reality is that this Jazz team just isnt all that good. Being a fringe playoff, solid play-in team, just isnt all that valuable. We need talent.

We are a team that is better than the sum of it's parts, but when that magic isnt working, the individual pieces really get exposed.

He's rookie so it shouldn't be a surprise.
Even Lauri was a bit soft as a rookie in his 1st Bulls year.
But Kessler will get better don't worry of that.

Yeah, overall it's a good thing that he is so bad at a lot of things. There is a lot of room for improvement and he is already pretty good despite those things.
 
The Cavs offense is really simple. When the ballhandlers get a step on the perimeter, either going 1-on-1 or from a pick and roll, it's over. We don't have the personnel to rotate to Allen/Mobley when the guys guarding them have to show to contain the driver.

It all starts at the point of attack. We have the worst pick and roll defense in the league. By far.

Lauri has had enough. Taking matters into his own hands.

So what if Lauri is taking the matters of his hands?
Lauri wants to be an allstar so then he should play and score as allstar does.

But seriously said some-kind backup support would be good for Lauri
because even he needs a bit rest on the bench especially if the goal isn't play him over 40 minutes tonight

Lauri did that same in Eurobasket as well being Finland's best player every game
so this shouldn't be an issue in night like this.

Allstar voting is starting later tonight so if Lauri wants to score about 35-45 points today let him do it then.
 
Cavs is on a win-now mode. This is a legit team. Jazz is just trying figure things out and we have been performing better than expected.

I think you are misunderstanding. What she said was a compliment.
