Wrong Bogey. The "Jazz Bogey" is croatian, and Croatia didn't make it to the World Cup.

Ah there’s another bogey. The thanks for the correction

Bojan Bogdanovic, former Jazz and current Pistons member, is croatian.

Bogdan Bogdanovic plays for Atlanta, and is a serb.

They are not related to each other.

Yeah I watched that game and he played fine but a bit rusty. Lithuania was collapsing their entire defense when Lauri drove with the ball in the 2nd half.

The Good:

• Whenever he had good balance, he shot well. Also perfect from free throw line.
• He tried to use his gravity to make plays for others more than before
• His cutting was sharp especially when cutting behind the defense. Lithiania had to foul him a lot.
• He attempted few clever entry passes which he normally doesnt do, which caught his teammates by surprise and they fumbled them

The Bad and The Ugly:

• He had to take some awful shots. Finland went to him on many late clock shots and Lithuania always doubled him immediately.
• Especially in the second half Lithuania collapsed their entire defense and had 3-4 guys in the lane when he drove in. He had good open passing targets but was constantly late with the kickouts.

I wish i looked as good with my hair long as he does with this cut. Thankfully It should grow again (only to be cut again later if there'll still more service to do after this summer).

First game back. Get the rust off and he will improve.

USA is playing an exhibition game against Puerto Rico this evening at 8pm MST, I believe. It's supposed to be televised on FS1.

 

[JazzGal]

I'll be watching

Edit: apparently 15 minutes late. Thanks, soccer.

Looks like Kessler's not in the rotation.

Looks like Kessler's not in the rotation.

He may be a situational defender, a guy they bring in if they need a bigger body.

 

[nateboz]

Kessler is the best big on the team yet he can't get off the bench. Steve Kerr is the worst. Booooooo.

 

[JazzGal]

They are looking better as the game goes on.

 

[JazzGal]

Good 5 minutes for Walker to end the game. He had a couple of eager puppy moments, but he was usually in the right place, altering shots, getting rebounds, making good passes, and throwing down a lovely dunk.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Kessler would sure look great with a guy like Haliburton playing next to him.

 

[oldtimer]

steve kerr suck donkey balls. kessler is awesome and deserve more than garbage minute after we are up 40. hate him.

 

[Shad]

Trying to find a box score for this is near impossible

Basically a "break in case of emergency" if JJJ gets in foul trouble and you're playing a team with a legit big that Bobby Portis cant handle.

Given that Jokic isnt playing, that probably isnt going to happen.
