This is kind of how I feel. I still think the Jazz could (and maybe should) find a better fit to really take advantage of Gobert's strengths and open up the offense. I think there is a type of player out there that would be better and raise the Jazz ceiling. But favs is a great dude and has been...

I think you rest him if there's a strong risk of aggravation and if the extra rest would likely lead to him being healthy the rest of the series. If it's just a pain issue then you can always shoot him up with something or other as long as there's no risk of further damage.

My sense of Hornacek is that he wasn't really willing to embrace analytics as much as he probably needs to. I could be wrong on that but I thought he was also kind of sacrificing development for wins this year as well. It's a tough situation. I get why he took the NY job (duh) but it always felt...

Lol Any Jabari mention and you get dumb takes on either side it never fails. Theoretically he could help. He was benched last game and seems to have a deteriorating relationship going on with the Bucks so I wouldn't put too much stock in that game. But on the other hand he is both an injury and...

Rudy and Favs only got a few rebounds because of how much they had to corral Adams. I've never seen rudy box out so much during a game in my life. I'm pretty sure the plan was to just try to box Adams out and aggressively rebound with the other players. So I wouldn't expect big rebounding...

Yeah Burke has been a little bit all over the place with his comments this year. He also said something about nobody wanting to play in Utah to a guy on twitter etc. He's been a very mixed bag. Wouldn't surprise me if he made another negative comment the next time he was asked about it.

Yeah I can buy in to some of this. I think he also can have a calming effect on the game with his experience at times. There are definitely some aspects that he brings to the table outside of the numbers. One would assume that Exum could develop more of those with more time being a starter, but...

Good points in here. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills at times as well because people just pretend that Gobert wasn't playing on a compromised knee during the playoffs. He had a pretty serious knee sprain and to me at least he looked much less mobile (especially laterally) than he did during...

I'm not sure if the contracts are going to make sense moving forward. It could work from a basketball point of view since all 3 guys are performing well over the last stretch. Exum is going to want to be a starter and probably deserves a chance for a bigger role moving forward (Assuming his...

I think it has all been explained. Some people are trying to determine the risk of future injury when saying he is injury prone. you are kind of just using the definition of what has happened. Both are accurate depending on how you are defining the term. They are just saying slightly different...

I feel the team should hold Rubio out for at least the next game, and possible the rest of the season. Hamstrings can linger forever and shouldn't be messed with. Go with the doctor's recommendation obviously, but time to play it safe if there's a question.

I'm not trying to compare them either, outside of trying to make a point. I'm just letting you know what people are excited about Dante's start to his comeback for a good reason. I think that's why people would be or are getting hyped about his play along with those other things I mentioned. It...

I don't know man his TS% is still .533 for the season while Dante is currently at a cozy .630. (obviously small sample size etc etc) One of those is elite and one is well below league average. His advanced stats do not look great. He has played pretty damn well recently, but overall I don't...

I don't think this is accurate at all. Exum has mostly been driving on ISO or PnR from what I've seen. He's had some off ball catch and drive but the vast majority have been him creating them himself. According to NBA.com 68% of his 2 point FG's are unassisted. If he is just catching and driving...

Tony is definitely the most plugged-in beat reporter we have. He's legit when he gives insight like this. He was officially saying this on the record. DL also said something similar on radio several times this season. I think it's a little bit over the top, but DL at least seems to have a big...

He was taking and making them pretty comfortably in Summer league and I think he took a couple in preseason. There's a lot of pressure in these games and he's still getting his stroke back. There's nothing about his form that would keep him from shooting off the dribble especially when guys are...

Dante was excellent in PnR tonight. Needs the ball in his hands the majority of the time he's playing against second uni guys. I liked seeing his chemistry with Gobert on the Alley-oop. He's one of the few guys who was consistently throwing that pass to Gobert in the past. He's taller so maybe...

I'm not sure the early game issues (he didn't have any TO's but a couple teams pressured him pretty heavily and made it look a bit shaky) were anything other than rust. He had reportedly worked on his handle a ton over the summer and looked fine in preseason. It hasn't been an issue since like...

It was Paul Pierce, then AB himself, then a bit of Quin and AB and Joe Ingles being awesome. I feel bad for Alec. He hasn't been able to put it together. I think he could still find a role on another team eventually. Sometimes a change of scenery can help with confidence. I'm glad he made some...
