Why, the other posters already pointed out the reason for it - Kanter often plays extended minutes in the blowouts, when the opponent stopped caring and the young Jazz players eager for minutes make a meaningless mini-run against the scrubs. The same reason that Evans has the highest on/off...

Your memory does not serve you right. When Kanter left, the Jazz were -4, when he came back they were -23 and several minutes after they fell further to -30. After that the teams pretty much played it out, the game has been already decided. Kanter did not play terrible, but he, together with our...

This seems to make sense. But again, if we look at 7 games when Kanter averaged 28 minutes because Jefferson or Millsap were out, the competition in those games was also quite mediocre: CLE, MIL, CHA, DET, TOR, NY, ATL. 4 games home, 3 on the road. However, the Jazz went 3-4, and in their only...

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...

I noticed that without Enes the Jazz went on a winning streak and thought it was just a coincidence, so I ran the numbers for a season. The results surprised me: Kanter plays 0-9 minitues = 9W, 4L (69% - on par with OKC and Denver) Kanter plays 10-19 minitues = 24W, 22L (52%, which exactly...

I added the poll. Please vote.

We all know that the Jazz prefer to promote people from within the organization. So IF Corbin goes out this season or a year later who from the Jazz folks is most likely to become a new Jazz coach?

That's right, the storied Memphis Grizzlies who compiled in the last 13 years an impressive record of 4 first round exits, 1 second round exit and 8 lottery seasons.

Actually, I think the vets will win. Both Al and Millsap will often command the double teams, clearing out the space for the 3-point shooters and Mo/Foye are much better at hitting quick or contested 3-pointers than Hayward or Burks (and even Marvin does it better than Carrol). Plus Mo's...

I checked the box scores and, yeah, going by the memory I exaggerated the size of the point differential: it was actually not 25-30, but rather 20+ points. In the last 7 losses the Jazz were at some point behind by at least 20 points 4 times - against ATL, OKC, Knicks and Clippers. That still...

But we had the same coaching, defence and shot selection iin December, January and February. And Kanter, Favors and Burks played way less then... But the Jazz have been winning. What has chaged since then?

The same coach, the same players. Our young players have been playing much better lately... and they got to play way more minutes than in November-December. Mo, who is supposedly better than Tinsley or Watson is finally back. So why have the Jazz recently lost so many games and regularly falls...

This game could be the official change of the guard for the Jazz. It is the first time that I remember Corbin closing not with the vets but with the young guns+Millsap.

Come on, you clearly got excited from the last game by Kanter. Otherwise you would have posted the list of teams that the Jazz played in those 7 games without Jefferson: Charlotte, Toronto (twice), Golden State ( the 2012 tanking superhard version), Lakers, Portland and Philadelphia. If the Jazz...

What is interesting is that the Jazz played the Bobcats less than 2 months ago. Kanter had 2 points, 2 rebounds and 2 turnovers in 14 minutes on 1-6 shooting (plus/minus of -15, worst on the team). Al Jefferson had 26 points and 8 rebounds in 32 minutes on 11-16 shooting (plus/minus of +24, best...

Well, then Westbrook today had an incredibly efficient game with 22 points on 14 shots...Never mind his 7 turnovers and 50% FT shooting, of course.

PG - Deron Williams SG -Foye SF - Hayward PF - Favors C - Memo Bench: Collins, Kanter, Harpring, Brewer, Lopez. This teams contends and assembling it will not break the bank.

Who was it? Foye this season shoots more per 36 than anyone ever did, Stockton made some big shots, Okur and Korver were excellent hitting wide open threes. You choose.

If I were a young rich athlete and had any choice I would try to get out of SLC regardless of the amount of minutes played. Almost any other city with an NBA team is more appealing to those guys.

I bet Favors changed since a year ago and now nobody will say something like ...was very disappointed when Favors basically bowed down to Dirk. Possibly not a good sign about his inner fire. ...This. Sorry. I know it's sacrilege but Favors is starting to leave something to be desired for me. I...
