[Release the Kraken]

It’s gotten harder than ever to hide Lauri on defense. Still injured?

God tier block by Walker

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

That block was clean… I think refs should have to make fun of themselves when they miss a call that gets reviewed.

“The call is revered because I am an impotent moron with a tiny dick… my bad”

 

[SteakNEggs]

Detroit is just playing harder atm.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Walker has the sickest block ever then does the absolute weakest finish attempt possible.

Walker Kessler in a nutshell

 

[Elizah Huge]

Kessler had 3 blocks in his first 4 mins.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Fyi Hardy had nothing to do with the challenge. The video guy was rewatching already and looked up and said challenge, coach immediately challenged. Probably the same for all staffs. Mostly for infection and others that hated old coaches challenges

This and making shots.

Nah, the Jazz perimeter defense is just getting cooked.

Jazz have one guy who calls challenges. Supposedly he studies film to know what refs will overturn and what they won't.

I think they missed one… should have 5

Kessler feasting underneath

 

[SteakNEggs]

Nobody blocking out. This used to drive me nuts with Gobert. Everyone expects Kessler to do all of the work and they just stand around and watch.

 

[Agent#00]

Thomson seems like a pesky defender

The Pistons are also huge and athletic

That's why you have to box out.

Poor guy is 2nd row and watching his computer the whole game.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

That's why you have to box out.

It's harder to box out athletes who are bigger and stronger than you. It's not like boxing out is a thing you can always successfully do if you just try

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

That's why you have to box out.

It’s not just box out though… Kessler steps over to clean up the mess and his guy is now free. The second and third guys have to get in the paint to make a play.

How did THIS team lose 28 straight?
