14th Tank Platoon

[Doublea]

Apparently MCW is slumping. He shot 6/29 from the field, and had 10 turnovers in his last two games. Anyone seen the rookie rankings lately?

That's too bad, we need him to get wins for Philly...

Isn't Rondo back? Or not yet?

 

[The Midnight]

Isn't Rondo back? Or not yet?

He's been back, but he's been rusty. Plus who is he to pass it to?

 

[Stifle Tower]

I'm just hoping to end up around 6, and that no team after 6 jumps us for the lottery. We would still have a decent (21 %) chance of being top 3 and 65 % chance of not dropping below 6. Milwaukee, Orlando and Philly will be in the bottom 5 for sure. Then you have Sac, LAL, Boston, NO, Cleveland as the other possibilities to get to the top 5. I think the Jazz will end up somewhere in the middle of that group. Luckily all those teams have a decent chance of making a run at some point.

That was my thought coming in to the season; I figured 6-8 was "best case." Fortunately, Burke got hurt and the Jazz got off to a slow start. And a few teams actually were hot (e.g. Philadelphia and Boston). Remember when everyone thought the Jazz would be fighting to stay ahead (behind) Phoenix for the worst record in the WC?

Some teams are starting to slide back while the Jazz are playing .500 ball. Even in the 8-10 range the Jazz will pick up a very good player. And if the pick is that low, I think Lindsey will go the free agent or trade route to bring in another starter. Get a veteran on a 2-3 year deal while the draft picks are counted on to just fill back-up roles. And if they develop into more? Fantastic! Then the Jazz have more assets to trade.

Hayward is returning from injury today....the tank is dead.

Favors is a gtd with a right hip extender flexor.....long live the tank!

I wonder if these injuries are partially due to the front office wanting to see what burks and Kanter can do with the starting line up.

Or, how the team does without certain players if the jazz decide to use a core player as trade bait.....

Would funny if this was actually the case.

"we need to see how burks and kanter do in the starting lineup"....... "well we could just start them instead of marvin and richard"....... "No we cant do that, we need marv and dick to show the young guys how to compete!"....... "ok well then lets just rest hayward and favors for a few games and pretend they are injured"

The starting 5 has been effective in games, so I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to see if Burks with the same players could play well. You can't do that with Hayward still there.

 

[ljnapoli]

let's hope favors misses a few games, should grease the wheels of the tank.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

It looks like UK just won some kind of cheerleading championship.

I wonder which one is PKM.

 

[b_line]

Sacramento won tonight, so not the worst night for the tank.
