Utah Jazz @ San Antonio Spurs -- Feb 3, 7pm MST

Just cause O'Neale has been a revelation doesn't mean you trade Hood. Hood may get a team-friendly deal and unless there's a great offer I don't see any reason to turn away from him.

No one is seeing one game from Hood and having it change their opinion. He has 3+ years of work to his name. He played fine. It was his first game back and he didnt force too much. He had a nice drive to the rim and a corner 3. He did his part and helped the Jazz win in his minutes.

No, he didnt play fine but I agree, no one is looking at one game. They are looking at 2 seasons in a row of not being healthy enough to matter for a team and being very inconsistent. His confidence looked very low.

Plus, most his injuries arent big ones. Just little nagging things that keep him out too long. I am fine holding on to him if we dont get something of value but his value is at its lowest right now.

Man Quin looks rough.

I was just wondering this. What's the deal with his contract? We have him for this year +2 at his current rate?

He is a team option every year and his salary increases 500K next year then another 300K the following year.

He signed a 3 yr/3.8 million contract but only the first year (800k) was guaranteed. Complete steal at this rate.

He played fine. It was his first game back. I'm sure teams are a little concerned over his injuries, but it's not like he has ever had any major surgery. I dont think his value is at a low. Teams are way less reactive than fans.

This team has won a league high five in a row and the next three are very winnable.

No, just throw better passes. Joe Ingles has thrown plenty of successful bounce passes to Gobert. You just have to make sure they bounce.

Actually, Joe Ingles should get away from throwing bounce passes to ANYONE in traffic. He seems to throw it right at people's feet for some reason. But with Gobert, he doesn't have the hands to catch passes that hit him below the waste when there are other hands in there with him. Hide and watch. Quin will working with these guys to get the ball in the air to Rudy. He'd probably be better off taking passes off the backboard.

Also, LMAO at throwing better passes IN TRAFFIC. You have to thread the needle to make them work in the first place. As if it's easy to just throw better passes in traffic.

"Well derp, they just need to thread the needle better, derp."

 

[Gameface]

How motivational have these game threads been for the team? Crazy!

Looks like I'm on the hook for the next one.

 

[MDAV28]

Joe has been the best Rudy set up man for what that's worth.

Uhh, no. Ingles is one of the best pocket passes on the team. Gobert can catch bounce passes, they just have to be good ones and the spacing has to be right.

Lobs sound nice, but they are hard to throw for most players and they are dangerous (see Hayward). You dont want to be throwing lobs all the time.

My thought from the game: Neto did a terrific job guarding Parker. That is all.

 

[fishonjazz]

Spurs highest opposing score was 112 before us.

Wow, that’s a pretty impressive stat

 

[fishonjazz]

Closing out the 4th was so impressive.

This. Royce was fantastic. So was Rubio. Jingles hit a big three too. Rudy with some clutch free throws. Very impressive.

 

[Et tu Brute]

**** off

I'm torn on this.
Do you really think this version of Rubio is the future?

Yes. I think Rubio is really good and he plays hard and I like watching him play.

I would love to face the Spurs in the playoffs this year.

Ya Rubio threw a bounce pass to favs for a dunk and it got up over his head before hitting his hands. That’s how you have to do bounce passes to Rudy. Easier said than done though.
