Yeah, but I get it if someone says Whiteside is more talented. He is way ahead of Gobert in offensive moves and athletic ability. Gobert just has that "it" factor and a way better basketball IQ.

this .. Rudy alters a lot more shots apart from the actual blocks. Better passer, smarter, just more valuable overall.

Yeah, there's no arguing about who is the more skilled offensive player, but Gobert simply changes the game.

Whithy Johnson and Neto are turning into players. Can CJ be the 3&D player the Jazz need? It will be interesting to see what the Jazz do about Neto and Burke when Burke's contract is up. Neto looks to be a good backup at the very least with a shot to be a good starter. He has shown the ability to run the offense and get his own. He's got some Nash in him as far as creating his own shot and showing some flair doing it. He also had some nice drive and dish and kick outs. This is what the Jazz have lacked this year. Nice to see the Jazz get that kind of play from the pg.
I'll be honest. This was the smoothest fourth quarter in a while. Before Hoods injury the offense has struggled to score with any regularity and continuity felt Utah was relying on him far too much.
no, but usually when people have a bad game with FTs and turnovers, it isn't accompanied by 64% shooting from the field. was just curious to know whether he flipped a switch some time in the game or whether there were some things he was just struggling with throughout the game.

Rudy had 4 assists tonight, Whiteside has had 4 assists in the last month. Rudy defends better in every aspect, whiteside gets more blocks. Gobert>Whiteside.

I gotta say that Burke has played 100% better than last side and has really improved this season. He's been scoring and shooting great and making a lot better reads.

Rudy is far and away better. Obviously, he need to work on his offense. But Rudy is bigger and stronger and three years younger. When Rudy is his age he will overpower Whiteside. And I agree Rudy does impact the game a lot more, much better basketball IQ despite Whiteside being older. Did you see some of the passes he made tonight, Bogut-like.

Whitesides brain is broken. I'd be terrified to pay him what he's about to get.
Can someone please tell me why CJ has not been getting all of millsaps minutes from the beginning?

Neto knew that game was broadcasted live in Brazil for the first time in two years.. Haha
There was an article yesterday on The Score, "Why Whiteside does not play in the 4th quarter". They pointed out that the Miami team D is way worse with him in there. Apparently he gets way out of position too often going for the block.
You guys gotta read this ****. These Heat fans talk like their the best team in the East. Wow, come back to Earth. Plus, zero respect for the Jazz. Do these people even follow the NBA? Bafflingly ignorant.
Normal fans of other teams will be shocked by the Jazz because we are not in national media often. So they check stats and last year and this year are aberations becasue of injuries this year and the Kanter trade last year. I have noticed that hard NBA fans seem to have a much better grasp on the Jazz and actually consider them a nightmare on the defensive end and one of the up and coming squads in the NBA.

Dude with the amount of injuries the Jazz have right now, we don't deserve respect. I'm sure some of their fans had good words for Hayward and Gobert. But other than that, our team is pretty lousy and if I were a Heat fan I'd be embarrassed about the loss.
I like how people act like we should have respect when we are 16-20. Got to earn respect.
Because Millsap was far and away the better defender last year and I think Quin wanted his defensive intensity w/ Gobert out.

On the flip side, the fact that they're still in the playoff race in spite of all the injuries deserves some respect.
