    Man imagine how difficult tanking would be this season if Kessler were healthy.

    Honestly makes the prospect of this team + Walker + a year of development from Walt and Ace + another lottery pick next season VERY exciting

    We wouldn't be tanking if Kessler was healthy...

    Yes we would. We'd be guaranteed to give OKC an end of the lottery pick if Walker was playing

    And our front office would be fine with it because Kessler is by far the biggest impact player on the team. We would have been a 40-win team this season had Kessler stayed healthy. That was the plan before the start of the season.

    Pretty perfect tank game. Walt played great (except some of those plays in OT), Lauri played like an All-Star and Keyonte was good too. Hopefully we start seeing some threes by Ace soon 🙏

    Walt wasn't perfect but loved seeing him close out the game. As you mentioned he had some good and bad plays but his hustle was huge and these moments are really crucial for his development. Also loved seeing Hendricks get some action in the 4th and OT as well.

    Knicks are winning the finals this year.

    I don’t even think OKC makes it out of the west

    19 FTA by one player is insane.

    Great game. Almost won. Went to OT. Lost anyways. Walt is the Jazz best rookie?

    I don't think he's shown that yet but he's 3 years older and it's reasonable to expect he came in more pro ready.

    Good game from FINNISHER and Key

    Walter getting OT minutes is cool to see

    The tank improves!

    Look i know we wanna tank and thats swell but the foulbaiting and officiating in this game made we want to rip my hair out. Love to see us lose, especially in a game that close which bodes well for the future, but it still is annoying to see the refs favoring the thunder so heavily.

    I thought Finch had fixed this for us. Someone else needs to have a come apart, I guess.

    MoM for:Jazz: Lauri with 29/13. It was his best game against OKC in years

    Anyone have insight on Filipowski and why he isn’t getting any run time?

    parent
    1 points FERFreak731

    He was invisible on defense for 3 straight possessions and airballed shots. Will subbed him in 2 times and subbed him out after the mistakes

    Yesterday's game Will was strict. Ace made some mistakes and pulled him out of the game, too, just like Flip. The main reason why Walt was in overtime minutes. He didn't make mistakes in regulation that he got overtime minutes

    I guess Will was strict, so the players can give it them all against the defending champions, as last game vs OKC, the Jazz got embarrassed

    I assume against other teams Will won't have that strict coaching mentality

    Going to be a rough two days for me if Keyonte and Lauri get put on rest tomorrow.

    1.) because I missed this epic game tonight 2.) because I am seeing the Jazz play the Mavs tomorrow live in person
