Sexton has been amazing lately.

 

[Release the Kraken]

Boler and T talking about how learning to change speed has revitalized Sexton’s career. First of all, major kudos to the developmental staff doing something they couldn’t accomplish in Cleveland. But secondly, now that this Uber athletic bowling ball can juke and jive he’s starting to look a lot like the guy we traded away for Laurie and Ochai and picks. And Sexton was just a throw in to make the money work.

Dude wanted the starting job. - Jazzfanz laughed.

He said he was going to be the starter. - Jazzfanz laughed.

Played his *** off and earned the job.

Must be brutal to go from playing your best basketball to being benched.

True! And tbh, I thought that THT had really turned the corner and playing some of his best ball yet. Maybe they have a deal in place and don’t want to risk an injury.

Not me, I never laughed, that’s for sure. Always a little jealous of HH scoring the avatar.

Didn't hate the guy but I did think he hit his ceiling and that what we we're seeing earlier is what we got. He has most definitely taken a big step and is making his case to be in the future plans. Especially with his contract.

I wonder as well THT was playing soo well! we must have a deal for him or an agreement with his agent to sit him to prevent injury pending a trade. Something is up.

Keyonte was clutch as **** tonight. He was taking those threes with confidence. Ice in his veins.

Out of contention for the ROY realistically but compare him to Jaquez and everyone else not named Wemby or Chet. Damn is this kid gonna be something special!

That’s all I can figure with the contract situation and all. Great teammate will totally miss him if that is indeed the case.

As the driver of the bus I accept any and all Jazz fans. There are multiple stops for people who may have been late to the party. Let’s celebrate his amazing play together.

I think Clarkson is gone too. Probably to the Knicks.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Great win. I wouldn't have guessed we beat Miami with Lauri shooting like that. I'm getting more confident that we have enough pieces to build on to instead of tearing it all down.

 

[Agent#00]

Sexton finally overtakes Clarkson as lead sg. Good job

 

[underdog]

Fun game. Sexton was a fireball again, KO with 10 assists, Key finding the twine on his 3s, and let's not forget Agbaji's fantastic high-flying block.

 

[Agent#00]

Dam bam got 20 FTs

 

[JazzGal]

Has Keyonte had that tat for a while?

I think he got it very recently. Only noticed it two games ago.

 

[JazzGal]

My birthday is tomorrow and this win made me extraordinarily happy.

Happy Birthday! Must be fun having a NYE birthday.

 

[JazzGal]

My mother loves Clarkson. She's 86yo with dementia so she cannot be reasoned with. She was loudly angry much of this game because he wasn't in the game enough, wasn't given the ball often enough, etc. I really need him to be traded for the sake of my sanity.

Plus she calls Walker "Keller" all game long.

 

[fishonjazz]

Simone has been absolutely terrific tonight.

He usually is.
In my tangent about shortening the rotation and giving big minutes (over 30) to certain players he was 3rd on my list behind only Lauri and Sexton.

I hated tech. He has been a revelation.

Good shooter, good defender, can go to the hole, good athleticism, decent rebounder, great motor/hustle... Only thing he isn't good at is passing the the open man/making the extra pass but he is kind of in that Kyle korver sniper mold and I kind of want him to be a bit selfish.
