Our game on Friday against the Clippers is on ESPN? That could be really embarrassing.

If it's on the road

If it's on the road

Its home. But still, I'm guessing ugly unless we get at least Lauri back.

Nah, it will be a fine game if it's at home.

 

[fishonjazz]

can someone confirm, is Dante ded?

Is Lauri?

 

[fishonjazz]

Just a reminder to all the dumb jazz fans out there..... That luka guy is really good and we would be extremely lucky to have him.

 

[fishonjazz]

Someone explain to me why Hendricks hasn’t been playing all season?

Rookie on a team with collins, lauri, KO, kessler, and simone (hardy really like him).
I mean i think he should have been playing from day 1 but the minutes are hard to come by for him when we are healthy.

 

[fishonjazz]

It's incredibly frustrating having our center of the future look like Charmin game after game

Good news there is he is really cheap and we finding out what he can be in the future. If he sucks then we dont have to re-sign him. He was great last year and has struggled this year when pretty much the whole team has.

 

[fishonjazz]

Sexton barreling into the paint is a disaster more often than not.

For sure. Strangely it often worked last season. Dont know why.

 

[fishonjazz]

Sexton doesn’t really have a lot of tools in his bag except for elite speed

He has a really nice mid range game. like just outside the paint. Doesn't use it enough though.

Keyonte 1/9 0/4 from 3

Shhhhh.....

 

[kabenac]

Well... at least Hendricks and Ochai shot well.

At this point we need to play Hendricks and Bryce. I'm down with the tank and trading any player not on a rookie deal if the trade is too good to pass up.

Should we change our mascot to a blood eagle?

I saw a bald eagle fly above the elementary school playground on tuesday when I was doing recess duty. That was pretty cool. Haven't seen one in years (other than out at willard bay which i dont really count)

“That was a masterpiece of dog **** by our team.” —Hardy

Hardy with the post of the thread award

 

[fishonjazz]

I actually do think he needed some g league reps. He looked like a different player. I would say they actually played this correctly. Had he had a healthy offseason I might not have been as on board. We are 25% of the way into the season… I think this is the right pace for him. Now if he’s mothballed when KO comes back imma be pissed.

You gonna be pissed

 

[fishonjazz]

Just be a man and bench some of those dunces.

This.
Dont give ochai's minutes to those dunces.

 

[HeatCheck]

For sure. Strangely it often worked last season. Dont know why.

He's another dude that plays alot better on a spaced out floor. Another reason that THT/Sexton combo isn't going to work. Even Clarkson looked bad playing in a shrunken floor with THT. Not trying to hate on THT but he's a guy that needs to play next to 4 shooters on the floor.

I gotta say I love this thing @fishonjazz does blitzing the game thread the next day.
