Josh Giddey has been poor in the NBA. But for team Australia he averaged 19 ppg, 7 apg and 5 rpg in 29 minutes per game. It makes me wonder if he could be a better player in a different situation.

 
In all seriousness, I thought the Jazz had a puncher's chance at the end of the third quarter and then THT and Key started working their magic. Between the turnovers and crappy shots it turned into a laugher fairly quickly. On the positives I thought Tay Henny looked pretty good. Sexton carried us. I'm a little concerned about Brice. This is the second game in a row he looked over his head.
 
So juzang gets fouled.
OKC challenges the foul that was called.
Then they call a foul on Kessler that they missed?

I had no idea that you could challenge a play to have the refs find a foul that they had missed.
Is that new this year? Why dont we see more challenges of missed no calls?

Rule 13, section II.c:

If an instant replay review is triggered as described in Section I-a(3) above, the Replay Center Official and on-court officials would review the video to determine only the following issues:
  1. Whether the personal foul should stand or be ruled a flagrant foul penalty 1 or 2 or a technical foul.
  2. Whether any other players committed unsportsmanlike acts or unnecessary contact immediately prior to and/or immediately following the calling of the foul.
So you cannot challenge no-calls, but any missed fouls can be added if they happen immediately before or after the actual foul that was legally challenged.
 
Pray every day that Danny is not actually considering to trade Lauri to OKC bc their core with.additional top 3 power forward would make them just overkill. Their team is already so ****ing good.
 
The game is just too fast for Brice currently. The only time he looks comfortable is when is getting into the high post for his scoring moves.
 
wouldn't be suprised. He's something like 30% from 3 this year despite teams sagging 15 ft off him. People here think he's the second coming of magic johnson and cry so hard when you point out the facts
Who exactly are these people? I haven't seen a single post on this board this year saying that Giddey is a future star.

People in Australia… not people on the board.

Only when the Jazz are negatively affected. Sort of like the Durant foul. Yes, he grazed the ball first, but it didn't stop Lauri feom raising up and still getting a good shot off, when Durant clearly fouled him. I understand ball contact first in certain situations, like a continuous swipe, but that was a different animal.
 
Are you thinking it will be better? Might be quite a disappointment awaiting you...
I think it will be better. Ainge can't trade our talent away for future assets forever.

I looked on https://www.spotrac.com/ and we're #4 in most cap space. 76ers are #1 but they have a mere 2 players signed so they'll be dropping a lot of money on resigning their stars. Pistons and Magic are above us. After us there's a 10M drop and then we see 5 teams who could sign someone away - I'll take those odds as we can easily make a trade using our picks or sign a few guys in free agency.
