Part of me wonders if the reason Olynyk/Collins played together to start the 4th is because Hardy eventually recognized that he wanted to close with Kessler against OKC's starters instead of Collins, which required a bit of emergency shuffling.

Kessler had only played 15 minutes. He was fine. You should never have Olynyk and Collins even if you have to involve Yurt7.

You know, there's a good chance that Ainge still intends to trade Colin Sexton at some point. He's like Danny's Isaiah Thomas in Boston.

Despite the loss I feel extremely good about this team.

We had also more shots and FTs than them, and just five turnovers on 2nd half. They just have so many talented scorers we came a bit short

Tay Henny’s number one hater out here doing nasty work.

Doesn't matter anyway he would have taken JHS. . .

Williams and wallace both killed us from 3. 8/10.

It would have been fine if Kessler started the 2nd half, but since he came in at the 6:48 mark of the 3rd quarter I don't think it would've been viable to play him the entire remaining 18:48 of the game with no rest.

I think Hardy just realized too late he needed to play Kessler more.

I'm also not convinced that the Jazz are really committed to Kessler for the long haul.

I mean, Cason has been fantastic and Keyonte has near all star upside. It's not a diss.

The Thunder showed that when shut gets serious teams are going to hack Walker.

 

[str8line]

Jalen Williams 11-14, 4-5 3PT

Almost normal for him and he's a #12 pick in 2022.
