My stream was flaking out. Did Bolmaro, Johnson or Agbaji even get in the game?

No, no and no.

 

[Jingled]

It's kind of nuts that a lottery pick rookie didn't even get on the floor in a preseason game, especially considering two of our rotation players didn't play. Thanks, coach Hardy.

The problem is that we could go 0-82 and still not get the #1 pick.

0-82 should enlist the sympathy of those hired by the nba to rig the draft lottery.

That’s the cost of playing Gay and NAW.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Kessler was pretty damn good. I’m pretty impressed with his hands and ability to look like he knows what the **** is going on out there. Not just the rolling and leaking out but he sealed the shot blocker on a drive Andrew Bogut style… that’s a vet move right there… impressive.

Doke getting cut.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

THT was actually good… except shooting. JB was pretty good tonight. Looks like he just playing basketball again instead of overthinking things.

Vando finishes less than @Saint Cy of JFC ‘s lovers… He plays hard and gets his hands on the ball a lot but I think his energy glue guy routine on this tanking team is a bit of a waste.

 

[HeatCheck]

I don't believe NAW even played in the 2nd half.

Vets rarely go full bore in the preseason. This felt like a good situation to give minutes to Agbaji esp with Beasley out tonight.

Both Bolmaro and Johnson might be in danger of getting cut in a few days.

 

[Ineptimusprime]

Man, if we’re gonna suck playing vets, I’ll just box score watch this year I think and not re-up my league pass. I want to watch us suck with young players we can at least pretend to be excited about. I want to watch the Kesslers, THTs, Agbajis, and Butlers and really have little interest watching us suck with old dudes.

Literally what is even the ****ing point of Rudy Gay in Utah? He ain’t rehabbing his non-existent trade value. Just cut him and buy him out.

Doke getting cut.

Yeah, I definitely think Dok is getting cut, and Johnson is probably the other guy getting cut. If they do something really stupid and keep Zeller around then Bolmaro is likely gone as well.

See if Gay is out for rest later this week against Dallas so Stanley Johnson can play. Johnson is the guy you'd put on Luka.

I am torn on the last cut. Gay is a tank GOAT apparently… Stanley has such a good attitude and is a guy with some trade value imo. Bolmaro doesn’t do much for me.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz actually could use a paint defender like Dok. The question is whether he'll ever be able to play. Jared Vanderbilt was not impressive at the 5 today.

 

[Shad]

I can't even believe we can't get Agbajis off the bench. The dude looks great and needs time but.... we need to play Rudy Gay 20 minutes a game?

My choice would definitely be Gay. In spite of his tank commander potential, I don't think I can stand to watch him play while some of the young guys ride the pine all season long. Seeing what a big part of the rotation he's been in the two preseason games he's played in, I'm very skeptical it will actually happen.

THT>NAW

Yeah, I think was the Danny Ainge thought on it too.

I mean Walter Kessler is right there!

 

[framer]

Kessler has made Dok and Zeller expendable. Those two are gone which means we need to make one more cut. Butler, I think, lived to play another day.

 

[framer]

He'll get plenty of time in the regular season. He's probably still trying to learn the rotations. Our other rookie is getting plenty of time because it looks like he knows the plays.

 

[framer]

He's already improved. If Jensen can develop him like he did Rudy, he's going to be a legend. Too bad Kessler plays the same position as Wemby, who we're definitely getting.

Wemby is fine playing power forward. I so want the Kessler, Wemby, Lauri frontline.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Butler with 13/7/7 in 27 mins. He’s not getting cut. Always had faith in him.
