Or else Quin should be suspended for a couple of games.

Utah had a 91-83 lead with 9:49 left to play then the Rockettes finished on a 37-8 run. But Donovan was benched for basically the whole fourth quarter and the second half of the third. He played 21 minutes total.

They went on a 9-0 run when Mitchell came back. Couple missed assignments and who knows what else. Quin will be coaching here for 10 more years, so if you don't like him, no sense in staying a fan here.

mitchell wasn't in the game during the 9-0 run.

Houston was on a 6-0 run when Mitchell came into the game. 1:34 later, they had extended the run to 12-0 when Mitchell was pulled. Houston finished with a 22-8 run, while Mitchell sat on the bench.

Or to put it another way, Mitchell was on the floor for 6 of the 41 points scored by Houston in the 4th. Yeah, this loss is all on DM.
 
Don’t blame Snyder. Mitchell was succumbed by the body thetans consuming his energy. We need to get revenge on the Overlord Xenu. Where is Cruise and Travolta when you need them?
 
I missed the game and am genuinely curious for the low minutes. From just looking at the box score, Hood was given everything including the green light while Mitchell just had everything cut out from under him for Hood's benefit.

Sick? Tired? I know he's been playing some big minutes over the past couple months.
 
He’s a guy I want out there no matter what... he can score in bunches and everyone sucked on defense today pretty much.

This game was much closer than the score indicates. We stopped scoring... DM helps us keep scoring. At very least Arica moves to him instead of Hood.
 
Super risky possibility since it's winter: Maybe Mitchell was playing with a cold and was exhausted after 3 quarters?
 
Yeah, we want him to play 48 minutes a game, never be sick, or even tired at all. Doesn't matter how he feels, jazzfanz wants him in the game no matter what.
 
There had to be a reason. Mitchell did seem less aggressive on offense, so maybe he was tired or slightly injured. Keeping Rubio in there was not a good move, but then Neto was out. Seemed to me that Udoh got raped by the refs, as well.

I don't get why no one has asked Quin directly why he benched Donovan. Seriously, we had this team right where we wanted them and he benches our best player? And some here want to defend that without any explanation? Was it because he went after offensive rebounds? Was it because he fouled too much? Did he take himself out of the game? Is he sick? Is he injured?
 
It's called the benefit of the doubt. I trust Snyder to do what is right for the team and the individual players. I'm not worried, at all, about why Snyder took him out. It wasn't his night. As a rookie that is going to happen. He still played over 20 minutes. It's ok lol.

That's cool, but I disagree. We were up 8 points fairly late in the game and our go-to guy gets benched for reasons none of us can determine. If there's a reason I'd love to hear it. I'm not the only one wondering.

Do you think this is a game we could have won? I do. Donovan makes a big play or two(as he ALWAYS has) and maybe we have a huge victory. Do you think he was playing poorly? I sure as hell don't. Look at his stat line.
