Game Thread Aug 07, 2020: Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs

[Hekate]

I want to see Morgan at the 5 and Brantley at the 4.

With Oni and Ingles? That's exciting.

Morgan at 5 did not look well but that's because length is a must when your guards are beaten constantly. With Brantley and Oni he would be better.

Tooonyyyyyyyyy my man!!!!1!1!11!!1

 

[NAOS]

Clarkson’s D being particularly exposed

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Tooonyyyyyyyyy my man!!!!1!1!11!!1

He's come so far.

 

[Avery]

Drop a few draft positions, play the Nuggets and get the young guys minutes? Yes please.

 

[Troat Guru]

JC and one men!!

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Whether it's right or not, the Jazz don't seem to know how to tank.

 

[Troat Guru]

Mudiay with a idiotic foul

I’m going to develop an irrational love for Oni.

 

[Hekate]

My Mudiay hate is growing with every defensive possession I watch him.

Oni getting open for that 3 is a blessing, though.

 

[Troat Guru]

We have played pretty well as a team during the last minutes.

Created good shots, not too bad our D....

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Nice 3 off the bounce by Brantley.

 

[NAOS]

Bradley has played himself into the rotation, but I still feel like if Morgan had been given the same number of reps, then he’d be a better and more useful player right now.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I know we need JC to have any kind of reliable scorer to keep us in this game (do we even care about staying in the game?).

But giving 35 shots to guy with his tendencies seems like a mistake.

We need him to get the juices going... We need Jordan Effing Clarkson for the playoffs not just Jordan Clarkson.

 

[Hekate]

Ok. JWF looking nice.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Brantley had two nice contests on Rudy Gay.

 

[stitches]

I'm sorry but I really don't see what others here see in Morgan. He's not an NBA player and under no circumstances should he be ahead of Brantley on the depth chart. I'd rather have Brantley at both 5 and 4 than Morgan.

 

[NAOS]

Bradley has played himself into the rotation, but I still feel like if Morgan had been given the same number of reps, then he’d be a better and more useful player right now.

Right after I say this, Morgan badly misses a rotation.

I'm a little torn. I am not a Bradley fan, but he has a knack for offensive rebounds and can provide a reliable pick and roll finisher. His screens aren't great... he barely makes contact most times. His defense has improved and he's had some BBIQ improvements (it couldn't have gotten much worse).

I think Morgan can be the switchy 5 that shoots. He gets his hands on a lot a balls and moves really well. I think he could be more useful too, but TB has played well enough to keep the job this season. It also is tough to evaluate Tony on defense in our scheme and when he shares the floor with Niang, JC, etc. he ain't getting any help.
