Agreed, much better effort. Utah has been slumping and we did what we needed to do to keep that slump alive.
-Nunn, what could have been will never be known.
-Russ with the dunk of the year (although he did pull a Blake Griffin and use Gobert’s shoulder a lil bit to get that extra lift)
-Another decent TO game over all
-Regarding the Bradley starting over Monk debate: I think that if Frank is gonna go down on the hill he’s going down his way. Especially against a team like Utah. The starting line up are The Defenders and the bench is The Avengers. Defenders aren’t over-powered, god-like super hero types. They have an ability or a skill or a small set of powers that work best in a team environment. The bench guys have a lot more firepower potential but still need to fine tune those abilities to better harmonize and reduce unintended casualties. He moved Ariza into the starting five and kept Dwight there so match up with Gobert and
-MMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO All Starrrrrr!

Just saw I forgot to end my point on Frank. He’s going down his way, if the rumors of him being fired soon are to be taken seriously. I can live with that and He’s always awarded vets. The LeBron at the 5 was a function of COVID and injuries, a good tool to have as well, but not really the identity Frank envisioned. I can live with that.
