I had dream last night that I was watching the lottery and Jazz got the 1st pick and picked Cooper Flagg. Let's hope it comes true lol
Is it just me or is David breaking up consistently
Kessler, Flagg and Lauri is a great front court .
Flip made some great passes last night. He demonstrates precocious understanding of the game and is increasing his assertiveness. His scoring is impressive, but his ability to learn quickly catches my attention.
Admirable series of plays during the 3rd quarter last night: a slick behind the back left handed drive on Sengun for a lay-in (~6:00) and another right handed drive (~5:00) followed by a steal and perfect outlet pass (3:06) and then a rebound with another perfect outlet to Keyonte (~2:02). Good D in the 4th — blockout and defensive rebound while guarding Sengun (~9:52) with another rebound and perfect outlet for a Juzang lay-in (~7:05)
I'm cautiously looking forward to Flip's next season after a summer in the weight room and ~10,000 practice free throws.
Then we start our next streak of playoff appearances.
Coop will good in that purple mountain jersey.
They MISSED huge on Buzelis and took a HUUUUUUge bust in Cody…then killed it on Collier and Flip…kinda a wash
You like to say Flip is atrocious on defense. Look at the numbers, SO IS Lauri. Flip is the better passer, just as good on the boards, as of this season rhe better shooter…AND what 200+ million cheaper
Are you going by March games? Come on you should know better. March games are basically G League with veterans going through the motion. Filipowski looks okay but let's not get carried away.
