With the depth on this team we could have an advantage in the playoffs if we make it. By playoff time we should have more energy then most teams due to the depth on this team.

Would that be so bad? Get 1-2 draft picks, get the young guys time and really go for it next year and the years after.

I don't like where you are going with this.

Just caught up with the doubleheader. Nice to see more PnR, but I can't figure out why we're only running it with Harris and Hayward. The base flex rarely works to get us a shot, and usually just sets up the post play. So why not start using it more with all the wings to initiate the offense for a wrinkle? Really can't figure out Ty's aversion to using it more with wings whose strengths are the PnR, not curl jumpers.

After tonight, I would really like to hear any justification that Raja should ever get minutes. Burks defense at the 2 was no worse than Bell's, and his offense is 10 times better. I'll live with Burks' mistakes, I cannot live with Bell's destruction of the offense.

That's one area Ty appears to be different than Jerry; whereas Jerry had fairly rigid substitution patters, Ty appears to have a much more free flowing approach to subbing.
Given how much some complained about Sloan's sub system (I was one of them occasionally), it'll be interesting to see how long it takes before people start complaining about Ty's sub system.

As to Bell, it's utterly unbelievable how obvious it is he kills our flow. With Burks on the floor (or any wing, really) we're a threat every time the ball goes to the wing. With Bell on the floor, we're always playing 4 on 5. Bell would be benched on any team in the NBA except us. It needs to happen fast.

I would absolutely swear somebody talked to Howard after the San Antonio game. He's clearly been putting the brakes on as far as shooting every time he gets the ball. His defense is great so I hope his injury is not serious.

I will keep railing on the lack of PnR, but the other missing ingredient to this offense is cutters. I cannot figure out why when the ball goes down low to Al nobody moves. Every game film must show this repeatedly, and you'd think Ty would be pointing out to all the wings that they have to break for the basket once he faces. It's really bizarre to see it happen over and over without any correction ever.

I really wish there would be a commitment to bringing Favors off the bench. The kid has no post game. Don't get me wrong, he's awesome and I want him to get as many minutes a night as possible. But he needs to work on his post game against second unit players.

Other than the W and seeing Burks, I gotta say that seeing Shaun Livingston playing hoops again was great. His injury was probably the worst one I've ever seen.
I'm sorry I was forced to miss watching this game. Really would have liked to see how Burks played tonight given that he played when it mattered. Sounds like it was an ugly W. Like some of the things I see in the stats tonight. Hope the injuries aren't to bad to Harris an Howard.

Uhhg. This situation is going to turn into exactly what I was afraid it would. Bell getting too many minutes, or else becoming a cancer because he's pissed over playing time. KOC needs to dump him yesterday.

There's nothing to dump Bell for anymore. Just stop playing him. He's far more of a cancer on the floor than he could be in the locker room.

How does Evans get on the court. I love his game and hope he can find some minutes.

Or blow out his ACL's - same thing. I've been saying it for a year. Anyways, I think Corbin is starting to agree. Although I don't get why he's gone with him to start the 2nd half of each game. If Howard is healthy, I think Bell will be DNP - Coaches Decision soon which is encouraging. Once that happens, I will be all for Ty. What a win tonight! Still haven't scratched the surface of how good we can be this year.
Let's keep it rolling!
Go Jazz!!

A 2nd or someone else's trash. I'm not convinced he couldn't be dumped in a trash for trash trade.
