[Saint Cy of JFC]

Hendricks has no rim protection presence.

 

[Max Porter]

Are the Lakers just not very good they’re getting blown by from scrub players.

I think Lebron will win this for them in 4th, but it's gonna be close.

Man, I am 41 and can barely poop w/o injury upon me.

I’m 41 too I get it. Imagine playing in the NBA against 21 year olds that can jump out of the gym.

Collier shooting 50+% from the field this season and 31% from three.

 

[tksavis]

I was just about to complain about the free throw disparity favoring the Lakers then I realized the numbers are way in our favor at this point actually

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Collier doing Luka to Luka

Well I mean they were gleefully fouling Nurk

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Hendricks not being able to close out to shooters killed the Jazz

 

[MTS]

Putting Hendricks on the opposing team's biggest offensive threat is sadly a good tanking strategy.

He's worse off ball

We are going to keep the pick, and it is 100% because Kessler got injured.

75%. Sitting Lauri when he's not hurt is the other 25%.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Ace not use to the ft line I guess

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

3pt shooting fouls are so ridiculous now.

Lakers aren't scoring 138 with Walker out there. Apparently, we are capable of 130 plus without Lauri. That is actually pretty amazing. . .

Jazz have given up plenty of 140 point games with Walker playing

 

[framer]

I think I have seen enough to think Colier should be a solid NBA backup point, especially on a team with a combo guard or two. Great pick for where we got him in that particular draft.

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

Literally no one wants to watch foul game when you're three buckets behind. Eww.

Not when the Jazz are playing offense like this. Most of those games were the live ball turnover fests we loved so much last year. I will always love Clarkson. I don't miss his turnovers, though

 

[homeytennis]

Great come from ahead tank loss. Both Ainges are happy.

 

[MTS]

idc Keyonte is still the truth
