Collins and Key questionable. Cody, Flip and Potter with the team.

 

[tksavis]

Must lose game

Must lose game

Aren't they all?

 

[Shad]

Probably a blowout win sadly

 

[homeytennis]

Svi will lead us to ruining the tank.

 

[Elizah Huge]

JC x2 and Key are all out tonight

Must-lose game

We really need at least Lauri or Kessler to sit vs these other tanking teams (preferably both).

So Key has been better but I don’t think he really is a winning player… him being out isn’t necessarily helping us lose and I think it might be part of the reason we are more functional as the fit with Svi/Sexton is a little more natural. He was great in the Detroit game tho and definitely a big part of why we won. Anyway… just a thought I had. I really need Hardy to treat this as a big development game and feed Collier/Williams minutes and not Svi/Juzang/Patty

What 2nd year player is currently a winning player?

What 2nd year player is currently a winning player?

Exactly. His point was that key being out doesn't help the tank. It actually hurts the tank. You guys will just have to agree on this one.

Uhh, no it doesnt. Key is capable of having a great game.

Maybe if Clarkson was playing (he is not) he would have a point, but this likely means a lot more Collier minutes, and maybe even Cody Williams.

I dont think Svi/Sexton is better than Keyonte/Sexton

Not many lol. That’s not a knock… just kinda saying it doesn’t aid the tank much or at all to have him out. Without Key and JC it will get a bigger bump. Just seen some saying him out is part of the tank… it isn’t. He’s not that helpful to winning.

 

[KqWIN]

Svi is probably more of a winning player than Key right now, or at the very least I think he helps this team win more. Part of that is Key/Sexton/Clarkson being somewhat interchangeable in role while Sexton plays at higher level. I think Key+JC being out will put things too out of order, however.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

Must lose game ! Important one.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

The day after Christmas game between two tanking teams has the chance to be a real slog fest.

 

[Douchebag K]

Unfortunately we’re going to win this game

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

The Jazz have 12 shot attempts so far, 9 of them have been 3PAs.

Nah they playing Cody
