Less Kanter = more wins?

[Ellipse]

Most of the losses we suffered this year were from poor play at our wings and the pg position. For all of the talk of Al being the reason for the losses, I believe the total on/off play of Foye has had a greater impact upon wins and losses than any other player on the floor. It gets almost impossible to win when Foye is having one of his frequent off games and Watson gets 20 minutes on the floor -- no stats to back this up, just the pain behind my eyeballs.

Well, let's look at the sample of games when Kanter played more minutes because Millsap or Jefferson were out. There were 7 of them this season, Enes averaged 28 minutes in them and the Jazz went 3-4 (there were also 5 games when Millsap and Jefferson played, but Favors was out, but Kanter's minutes remained pretty much flat at 16, so I did not count them).

And in any case, this does not explain why the Jazz go on a tear when Kanter plays less then 10 minutes.

In the games where Millsap/Jefferson were out, the Jazz had virtually no bench. The majority of those games were also on the road.

Isn't context amazing?

This is my belief as well.
Although Foye isn't as on/off as jazzfanz makes him out to be.
The guy was nearly deadeye for 3 quarters of the season, but then went cold at a horrible time for about a month.
With Marvin Williams making almost no impact offensively, the 3 point shooting is up to Foye and Mo.
Without that three point threat, we're essentially the same team we were last year.

Wrong. When one of Millsap/Jefferson was out Corbin simply played Favors and Kanter extended minutes. In the only game when both of them were out and the Jazz truly had no bench they blew the opponent out of the building.

The majority of those games were also on the road.

Wrong. Four of those 7 games were at home.

Isn't context amazing?

That well may be, but knowing what you are talking about is even more amazing.

In those games where kanter played how many of them did Marvin start? Dude has easily been our worst player this entire season

Just think, we could have drafted this guy:

Instead of some guy that's shoulder can't even stay in its socket.

It seems to have worked though, Hill couldn't lob the ball to the middle and instead had to settle for that pass.
