Still not sure how Butler is supposed to learn how to play with good players when he's with the worst team in the G-League but I'm pretty sure he can learn if he isn't forced to play short, random, and terrified minutes.

Despite that, had the second-best +/- on the team.

He was great… only saw the second half. Had one eff up on defense I saw and one dumb pass… but looked like he was just playing and not scared.
 
We are up 95-91 with about ten minutes to play in the 4th and things really go sideways. I would note that three of our rotation guys were on the floor at the time. Probably Quin went to the system.
 
When Hughes lost that rebound out of bounds off the FT the camera panned to Quin and you can just tell he hates Hughes. Felt the same way with Butler too. Those dudes just aren't allowed to make mistakes even if they are the two most offensively talented deep bench guys Utah has.

It must be brutal for those guys to watch Clarkson have some of the most unearned freedom in the NBA.
 
I dont like CP3 but he has really improved this Suns team. They are extremely clutch this year. Their defense and offense goes into another world in the final 5 minutes. Some of it is luck, but a lot of it is they step up and really focus. They have a net rating of +42 in the clutch, which is insane. The next closest team in the NBA is 20 lower. Jazz drop from +7.2 to +6 which is not a big deal but still a drop off, when traditionally Jazz and good teams execute better.

Not sure playing Gay 36 minutes was a good call.

Both teams were in a bit of a pickle tonight. Rotations, lineups, shot selection - everything was just off.

Both teams played really hard, and the Jazz just ran up against the best team in clutch situations in a close game.

Hard to ask anything more from them on the 2nd night of a B2B.

JB got yanked after the and 1. I think they were supposed to switch everything… but he did stay with the ball handler well and it was a soft screen… but gets yanked.

It’s not the kind of environment the kids can learn in and Ive seen JC make some of the dumbest defensive plays ever… complete lack of focus… and obviously he gets to make infinity mistakes on shot selection.

It truly sucks because you can see that JB can get wherever he wants and can make some great passes. The shot will come… there is enough history from college to know that… when it does he will be great. You’d think a coach would see that rare skill and want to feed it rather than neuter it.
