Game 30: Utah Jazz (11-18) @ Toronto Raptors (11-17)

[Inigo Montoya]

George is Listed as OUT and I'm assuming Clarkson is too. THT is listed as GTD.

Merry Christmas!

can someone explain to me why Walker isn't starting against Poeltl?

On an entirely unrelated note, the Jazz are being seriously outrebounded.....

Jazz were playing well when they sticked to Kessler-Lauri-Agbaji-Clarkson-Dunn.
Props to Hardy to indentify and then stick with them.
Lauri and Clarkson only can play with 3 defensive minded players. If not, there's a disaster.
We have to play always with 3 defensive minded players and then choose between Markkanen-Olynyk-Clarkson-Sexton or even George, because if you play more of 2, there's a disaster.
Dunn showed he is the best pg with a great margin in this team. No stupid turnovers, great distribution, nice defense and calming down. He has to start if we still want to improve as a team and George should wait.
If we are done in a few games/months, then there's no sense in stop playing Hendricks and we have to go with all our rookies.

We´ll see.

1. Kessler's presence was noticeable. I was surprised he hardly played in the first half. He made a big impact in the second half.

2. Props to Hardy for finding a lineup that worked (Dunn-Clarkson-Agbaji-Markkanen-Kessler) and sticking to it.

3. If Sexton wouldn't get his shot blocked so often he'd average 30 a game. Still, he was decent but as a guy who goes to the rim so much it would help him if he sometimes tried some finesse and trickery rather than just brute force on his finishes.

4. Dunn' defense was excellent, and so was Agbaji's. Olynyk was getting cooked all night.
