Not at all what I suggested… we needed to run some of our stuff where he dives from the elbow and cooks those guys as they navigate the puck and stay in good position… should be able to put those guys in positions where he shooting over them on drives… not just backing them down.
KO is infuriating. Some moments I love him and other moments I hate his guts. There is no in-between.Anyone else sick of KO turning down open shots to pump fake and then pass off?
Such as a frustrating player.

I think his defense is his weakest link though. Doesn't have the bulk to guard bigs and doesnt have the step to guard wings. I don't know who he is supposed to defend. His hustle is undeniable and he gets charges with his flopping, but at times that looks like the only thing he has going for him.
Offensively he giveth and taketh, but definitely the better half of his game.
Shame on you for listening to a hater. Lauri wanted out of Chicago as he needed a fresh start, and they are still bitter about it.I have a Chicago fan staying at my house over the holiday. He's telling me this is the real Lauri.
Lauri needs to set the tone for us. I don't know why he looked so passive today, especially in the first half. Like he didn't come in with the same attitude we have seen in many previous games.
He was better in the second half, but I felt it was too little too late. I'm the biggest stan of the guy but I still think he sucked and it was not on anyone else, including the guards or the coach. I will still give him a pass.
Ehhh the guys I play with it just means you are cooking them… doesn’t matter how. Burn, cook, Bbq chicken are all synonymous for us… sorry for the confusion.BBQ chicken refers to being too small in the low post. I would have said attacking the basket on a drive and going over them is something completely different.
As for Lauri, Detroit as a team defended him very well, played him very tight and aggressive which took away the angle which he had to attack the rim and going through/over the top of their defenders. He also didn't seem to have it (his legs) tonight, which meant he was naturally less aggressive.

It will still be better than LoPo vs Cy sagaAs much as I love Lauri I think the ratio of Jazz fans to Lauri fans on here is reaching a tipping point and is going to get overwhelming at some point this season. We have a ton of new posters on here and I assume most of them are here for Lauri. We might have got a few fans of other players but no where near the number of Lauri people. If we get losses piling up or make a youth switch its going to be rough sailing on here.
But I think we get back on track with our homestand after these two road games. Hopefully we win 1 or both the road games. This board overreacts to everything though, quite the emotional bunch.
Yeah that one handoff pass to KO where Kelly cut behind him was a thing of beauty. The whole play and all defenders were flowing one way and Sexton turned the ball away from the flow to the backdoor. I do remember him having another one between defenders or something... but that one stuck out to me as well.Jazz should be embarrassed by this loss. Losing at home to a loser team.
Hardy needs to pull a Tom Thibodeau and emphasize defense during practice.
Simone needs more playing time.
Sexton... man he tries. A lot of his assists were basic and telegraphed but I really like the passes he gave to KO in the paint. There were two that come to mind and I was impressed. I also like his bounce pass assists. I think he had one to Clarkson in the paint and it was nice.
Sexton clanked a lot of 2nd half shots but all of them were good, open attempts. Finally, his mid-range game is nice. He needs to shoot more mid-range as he hit a bunch of them in the first half. You can tell the coaching staff is giving him direction and Sexton is working hard to be a better team player. I saw that last night; I think he's going to become a better passer - he had some bad passes that were too risky and I think he'll adjust.
It definitely looked like his bounce wasnt there when he hit the front iron on those few shots early on. I dont know if Hardy made them run lines after the loss or smth.Ehhh the guys I play with it just means you are cooking them… doesn’t matter how.

Not sure why he wouldn’t have his legs tonight… they were on a back to back not us.
