There are some nights that I hate Kuz’s selfishness. Last night wasn’t one of them. He shot 50% from the fiekd, despite going 1-8 from 3, and was one of the chief reasons that the Zards stayed competitive against Utah.



We weren't competitive with Utah. We were down 20 to start the 4th quarter and lost by 15. The closest we got was 12.

Kuzma dropped 13 in the last 9 minutes when the game was decided so he could pad his stats after a crap start.

Coach should have benched Kuz for the fourth quarter. It would send a message that if you play like poopoo for the first 3 quarters there will be no padding stats. It would definitely change the dynamics.

Agreed. Now, would Keefe have the cojones to do so? Time will tell…

I can't stand Olynyk

L-Mark was impressive

Even though Kuz ended up with a lot of points, we fell behind for good during a stretch
when he missed several shots in a row and/or turned the ball over. Familiar story I guess.

Or shoot very well either. Or hang on to the ball. Other than that...
