Also, the Jazz are clearly not a road team. We are 5-5 currently and I expect us to be below .500 on the road for the season.

I didn't realize Embiid had 26 points and 5 blocks in the 4th quarter alone. Jesus.

Nice to be getting off the road.

Yes....... regardless what the question ever is Dok could do worse. Should've just rolled with more Kessler, simple as that.

In the second half Kessler was doing pine.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I am going to assume that Hardy had a reason. At this point he has earned some benefit of doubt.

I'm fairly certain he isn't stupid, even though I would have tried Kessler. In general, however, they have tried to hide Kessler from MVP type guys. It's a developmental decision and what they are doing has mostly worked thus far, so. . .

He wants to space the floor with Olynyk and Lauri as the bigs, so our guards have room to drive and create. Tonight though Embiid stayed in drop and Philly's perimeter players tried to rotate.

God I still remember that pathetic Sexton layup attempt on Embiid with Clarkson wide open in the corner. THT makes that pass or yams it on Embiid.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

I still think Mike shoud have sit tonight. But i can understand Hardy. Mike the the better playmaker by far on this team (with THT). JC and Sexton together are not a good combination for me, not enough passing. But we were tired, we have the toughest schedule and play more games than any other team in NBA. Not a big deal. We will bounce back..

The hell? I'm not sure there is a team in the NBA that would be popping a +500 road record with our schedule. Jazz have played two thirds of their games on the road. Pathetic take.

Yeah, just like how THT yammed it on Embiid a few plays earlier… wait… he tried a backwards reverse and got blocked.

 

[homeytennis]

I wished Sloan was doing the presser. It would be spicy and salty.

 

[HeatCheck]

If he was 6'6 it wouldn't be an issue, but it's just hard to have a positive impact playing his style at 6'1.

He's our 6th man. If he was some great game manager/facilitator he would be starting and would've gotten a bigger contract too.

Embiid scoring on every play erases transition opportunities.

That is not an excuse to miss our shots, turn the ball over and badly miss FTs. Their offense wasnt great in that game.

Embiid scoring 26 points in the 4th quarter had a dramatic impact on our offense.

I can't believe somebody is trying to claim that Embiid being left on an island against Olynyk wasn't our biggest issue. He scored virtually every play he got the ball.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Also, Sexton 1-5 from the FT line.

 

[homeytennis]

If they aren't going to use Dok, just waive him.

 

[MT Steve]

If they aren't going to use Dok, just waive him.

I mean if Hardy won't even use Kessler in the most blindingly obvious situation where he should have, then yeah what was even the point of keeping Dok?

The league has rewarded us with two home games before we go on the road for 4 out of the next 5 with 2 back to backs. Brilliant!!!

I can't believe somebody is trying to claim that Embiid being left on an island against Olynyk wasn't our biggest issue. He scored virtually every play he got the ball.

We scored 2 points in the final 4 minutes. What he makes doesnt effect our chances to make shots. The game is tied at 4:39 and we literaly only make one more basket at the 3:24 mark.

I dont care what Embiid does you will never win a game that is close when you score 2 points in the final 4 1/2 minutes, that was the biggest factor was our poor offense.

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

Embid is the best player in the league. Struggling against him happen to almost every player every night. But the main reason why we loose was our poor shooting and shoot selection. Bench shoud also play more as starter were not efficient tonight.

 

[Elizah Huge]

The good news is we are 10-5 and 10 out of 15 games this season have been on the road with multiple back-to-backs.

We are 5-0 at home and 9-3 against the West so far.
