in his emptying the moggin is almost an excuse if the Jazz fold as to how tired everyone is. For heck's sake these are 20 something in shape guys. If that's the case play Burks, X and GLeague guys more minutes. No excuses let's get in the playoffs and win the first round.
 
pissed that the Locked on Podcast now have gambling ads, i ****ing hate gambling, can't watch or listen to sport without ads for online betting ect.. ***** me.
 
Locke is trying tp be too big a company man with his original premiseplayers. It is the coach's jpb to get the players in a position to succeed. If the players are worn out, put some less worn out players out there or teach the tired guys how to attack a zone or rebound.

Well, he did try AB last night...
 
Didn't listen, but I've been singing the everybody's tired tune for a bit. IMHO it's the reason there are a lot of upsets going on in the 3-10 race right now. It's not just us.

Rubio, Donovan and Rudy have been playing big minutes for a while now, especially since our bench hasn't been very good. It's probably affecting them. Dante would help but now Rubio's out so Donovan gets no rest. And Rudy is playing big minutes for a 7-footer. Surprising that Quin had our starters in late in several games, too.
 
Roll with

Exum
AB
Crowder
Jerebko
Favors

Or call up Bradley. Tbh its been a minute since Ive been impressed with our starting 5.

I dont see this as an issue at all, we have depth for a reason. I'd say its more mental fatigue than physical also. An example of this is DM seems to have run out of ideas when attacking and settles for jumpers.

This is a new take... our starting 5 and starters w/ Crowder instead of Favors have been great.

Meh.

-Rudy and Rubio been getting torched
-Jingles is back to turning down open looks and turning it over a ton in PnR
-Mitchell is obviously tired, poor shooting, poor decision making, poor defending
-Crowder has been ok but cant rebound, his defense seems to have dropped off
-Favors has been the best of the lot but sits.

You're disappointed with individual production then? Our starting lineup has been one of the best in the league, don't see a reason to change anything.

I dont think thats true, you'll need to show some numbers to support that statement.

Anyway, I was responding to the comment on fatigue and stated we had the depth to run with other guys if our starters needed a break.

Im not advocating changing the starting 5 going forward though.
 
I dunno why this is controversial. 76 games into the season where 3 guys have played 2000 minutes or more (Mitchell, Ingles, Rubio), a 4th will reach 2000 next game (Favors, 1983min), and a fifth is only shy of the mark because he lost 26 games to injury (Gobert, 2nd in mpg), yeah, guys are worn out. Of course, if Locke had gone a step further and analyzed why these 5 are logging such heavy minutes, and concluded either (a) our starters play a lot because our bench isn't very good, or (b) Snyder hasn't done a good job of finding ways to rest these guys, who don't play significantly less minutes in a blowout win, or (c) a combination of the two - Snyder overplays the starters because he doesn't trust guys on the bench; then maybe there'd be some controversy. All he's done is state the obvious and duck the real issue.
