Synder might be taking over Ham real soon in LA , love watching Lebum complain …

Where is he going to take his talents to next ?

I promise you Snyder does not want that job.

I think it's mostly mental. He needs to be on a team that lets him be himself. Utah needs a PG and they have a ton of shooting to put around him. It makes sense. We wouldnt be those weirdos asking him to shoot 3's.

Vando and simmons on the floor together could be problematic.

 

[fishonjazz]

The amount of fouls was insane. I wonder what the record is for fouls in a game. There were 56 fouls in this game. A 48 minute game. That is not good.

 

[fishonjazz]

Sexton has been the most underwhelming player so far this season.

agreed yet he is still averaging 12 points in 18 minutes (24 points per 36 minutes) He has been quite bad but still gets some numbers. I think he will get there if he can stay healthy.

Sexton has been the most underwhelming player so far this season.

Really sucks he got hurt tonight as there was so much foul trouble he could have gotten a lot of minutes and he was 2-3 from the field and had the best plus/minus on the team tonight in his limited time.

Vando and simmons on the floor together could be problematic.

Yeah, he'd be taking Vandos spot (sadly)

 

[fishonjazz]

Houston

So its basically out of brooklyn and philly then right?

 

[fishonjazz]

Did Holly really just say Clarkson has a 7'4 wingspan???

That cant be right can it?

 

[fishonjazz]

THT EXPLODED

He's dynomite!

 

[fishonjazz]

If Quinn was coaching this game he would not have called a timeout when a team has a bit of a run on at least hardy tries to put a stop to it straight away

Agreed. I think hardy has been quite good with the timeouts so far this season. I thought he should have used a challenge tonight though. He needs to get better at that.

 

[fishonjazz]

Why would he get minutes? Simone is clearly next up, not Ochai. Even NAW is before Ochai at this point. It's going to be a bit before you see him consistently.

Injury to sexton. Vando foul out. KO foul out. Conley nearly foul out. Im surprised he got zero minutes.

 

[fishonjazz]

We stopped passing the ball and settled for lazy 3's.

This.

 

[fishonjazz]

Markkanen seems like a bad shooter to me. Flat shot, kicks his head back. His career says he should be much better than this, so hopefully it picks up.

Ya as awesome as he is, I have concerns with his outside shot. Really flat

 

[fishonjazz]

They just gave Garrison Matthews a star call lmao

That one was really bad.

 

[fishonjazz]

I mean, the whistle went both ways. I'm not sure who got the overall most benefit, but they were calling a ton on both sides. I didnt really notice any disparity.

They had 30 fouls and we had 26 fwiw

 

[fishonjazz]

Dude gives me prime Blake Griffin vibes with his vertical for his size.

Nice call but I have to think its a bit hyperbolic. Blake was insane. Lauri is just crazy but not quite insane.

 

[MT Steve]

One thing I really wish is that our offense was more purposeful in getting touches for Markkanen.

With how efficient he's been, the guy should honestly be getting like twice as many touches as he's currently getting.

 

[fishonjazz]

I'm not going to pretend this game was well officiated, but in the bigger picture Vanderbilt really needs to get his fouling under control.

I think if he gets his fouling under control then maybe that means he isn't playing quite as hard and that lessons his value. He gets some cheap fouls crashing the boards but I dont want him to stop crashing the boards for example. Thats what make him great.

 

[fishonjazz]

At some point we'll stop winning L-able games, won't we?

Kinda hope not. I want the playoffs

 

[Bawse Dawg]

No clue what to make of this team, how I’m supposed to feel, or what I’m supposed to want.

Been a fun NBA season so far though.
