Today It’s not the day. We are playing really poorly. They are no good, so we are only down by 7.
I would like to have the confidence tht has in his shot. He should not try a 3 more in this game. Neither Gay.

Kessler 12 rebounds at the half.....I love reading all the twitter posts about Minnesota fans that are dying over the Gobert trade.

They could have kept Kessler....and they would be much better this year.....and NOT owe us 4 unprotected picks! hahaha

The Gobert trade was as bad as the Russell Wilson trade. Dnever fans are dying over trading for Wilson.

Kessler must start. The kid deserves it.

Kessler is ready. So glad we have him.

Kessler is going to get a season high 20+ rebs. He might even get 20+ pts as well for a 20-20 game. Go Kessler!

Kessler is an absolute beast!!!!! And Agbaji is also playing very well.......

Kessler is awesome. I don't think he's leaving Hardy a choice, the guy needs to start and I suspect that he'll be a permanent starter after the trade deadline.

Vanderbilt, Sexton and Agbaji were also good and it's good to see Adbaji continue to get minutes and contribute.

Regarding Sexton, he's quietly scoring at a remarkably efficient manner: 49.7%FG, 39.5%3PT, 84%FT.

I noticed that too. Can Sexton take over for Conley?

I suspect Sexton will be the starter next season, if not after the trade deadline in case Conley is traded. I think this season is meant for him to get back from injury, and next season will be about seeing what he can do as a starter and about building up his value.

Can he run a team? That remains to be seen. I'm sure he could go out there and average 20+ points per game as a starter, but until he got to the Jazz he wasn't been playing winning basketball. I think playing next to Conley helped, and my impression is that he has been willing to change his game, so I'm optimistic. He'll never be a cerebral floor general like Conley is, but I think he's young enough to be able to change his game and be more of a facilitator. I can see him average around 6-7 assists, scoring about 18-20 points efficiently, and playing good defense if he's willing to learn. That's a very good player.

I hope Conley is leasing month to month.
