Sensabaugh and keyonte better be doing all sorts of drills the next few months to improve their handles. That was amateur hour, need better composure against pressure. I can’t stand that kind of perimeter extended contact but if the refs aren’t going to call it better figure it out. Sensabaugh was atrocious in several moments, keyonte just bad in several.

With that said, I think keyonte still put together a good game overall

Also please dont make hating on Key the en vogue thing here. Next season gonna be insufferable if you do, as he is likely getting more minutes and bigger role than anyone on this SL roster.

We always have to have a punching bag around here. Looks like Key is that man.

I didn’t watch. How did Keyonte look physically? Any stronger or more developed?

He's in great shape, you can tell he has put time in during the off-season.

People understand that what Memphis was doing wouldn't actually fly during a real NBA game, right? Half that team should have been fouled out in the first half. They were clutching, grabbing, and mugging. There was a reason the Jazz had a hard time bringing up the ball. Keyonte should have went to the line even more than he did. I was actually impressed that the Jazz players adjusted to the contact and made a comeback in the manner that they did. They aren't really built for thug ball, and that type of play isn't generally allowed in the league.

I don’t know what’s going to be allowed this year. Seems the league is shifting to allowing more physical play though again. Will see if that slide continues

They're probably not going to go to 10 fouls per player, though. I'm uncertain what the rules were for shooting FTs in the bonus, but it looked to be only in the 4th.

Didn’t watch the first half, but what I saw from the second half, Collier looked great. He has awareness to turn around and pass the ball to an open shooter while he's penetrating into the paint, something Keyonte is lacking. I really liked what I saw from Collier last night.

 

[Miggs]

It’s a shame @Saint Cy of JFC has a date tonight, Edey is killing it.

His mom’s in town?

 

[Miggs]

They would each have to play 30 minutes or more, which is pretty rare. Most teams play their dudes half the game. That's where having an idea about the rotation makes/breaks SL betting.

Brilliantly incorrect.

 

[Miggs]

Man Lofton still looking thick as hell. He lost how many pounds again？

One. He lost one pound.

 

[Miggs]

Keyonte is having a horrid first half. Like Trey Burke type of ****

Keyontrey George

 

[Miggs]

Sounds like Key is 2005-2006 Kobe.

Yall watched something different than I did because Collier missed a ton of dudes

 

[Miggs]

Collier is a cinder block… I like it.

I love this kid. His demeanor and look and body. Might have to buy my first Jazz jersey ever. Championship incoming.

It ended up being a competitive feisty game so the coaches/players played it more seriously.

 

[Miggs]

Fwiw it's only one game and I'm not sure how much any of these guys will play.
We have 5 vets to play at all 5 positions and hardy loves vets.

I'm sure key will play a lot. Everyone else on the court might be under 20 minutes per game though.

It’s one game. I wonder what the coaches said. Maybe they were like, “Just go out and play. Don’t think too much.” And from there, they evaluate and assess and tell Keyonte to open his eyes.

Or maybe there’s just a ton of duck swinging and Keyonte is making sure he gets his and let’s the other young uns know wassup.

How can that be when JCs are still here?

I mean we want the team to be bad so let the players play losing ball. Whining really does nothing except makes this season more insufferable.

 

[David Stern]

Key needs to play a lot more 2K. If something is a “Bad Shot” in the game, then he shouldn’t shoot it in a real game.

I just dont get going overboard about a guy taking too many shots in SL. It's not like Keyonte was missing open players (didnt re-watch, maybe I'm wrong). Hendricks/Williams didnt like they could do anything with the ball in the half-court. Sensabaugh was a TO machine and Walker is Walker (and Keyonte did find him once or twice). I didnt groan at too many Keyonte shots. He took a lot, but he was getting himself open.

Collier had some nicer drive and kick here and there, but he actually missed wide open players.
