More Bolomboy, less Diaw

I think bolomboy isn't ready but he can't be WORSE than diaw....diaw is literally a traffic cone
 
Bolomboy needs to play. He's an energy guy who the balls seems to gravitate to. Plus he's shown he can score and runs the floor well. Diaw needs to ride the bench like he's Raja Bell or Trey Burke.

I like Lyles in the starting-5 because he plays well when he starts.

Diaw's getting 22 minutes a game and is shooting 24% from the field with 3X as many turnovers as assists (and he's supposed to be a great playmaker). And 1.8 rebounds a game when he plays more than 22 minutes a game makes Lyles look like Dennis Rodman in comparison....
 
I think I said I like the trade if we get motivated diaw... I think we got fat diaw. I couldnt watch the whole game last night but diaw is not making shots... not rebounding... getting smoked on defense. Basically we need to play anyone but him... he's giving us absolutely nothing.

Pop is a wizard! How did he make this guy look like an NBA player.

Diaw sucks. I never really liked the pick up.

Would have made more sense last year but I agree the lyles diaw combo off the bench would have had to be amazing offensively to compensate for lack of rebounding and defense. Snyder must love diaw though... he gets so much time when other guys seem to have a short leash.

I think he really likes the idea of Diaw and is hoping he starts to gel with the team/starts hitting his open shots.
 
Pleiss with a monster game in Euroleague today. Not saying his dumpage was not the right call, but he showed some of the potential that led the Jazz to sign him.

He sucked big time till this game though. Hope it is his breakout game. Could be that he is getting used to Turkey and Galatasaray.

Some big names from not so big names from Gal. today. Great win for them. Two classic games going on now. Would have liked to see Jankunas give NBA a try a few seasons ago.
 
Utah's offense is based primarily in getting the ballhandler's defender in a compromising position. Diaw's strength deals with off ball movement, whether creating it or passing to it.

How many meaningful off ball screens do the Jazz run? I mean, I understand that defenses of today are switching on everything and playing what amounts to modified match up zone, making off ball stuff harder, but you see last night, one play in particular where the initial action commences and Diaw end up with the ball at top of three point line, what does he see, not action on the strong side to get leaked players cutting to hoop, but three guys strong side waiting for Diaw to pass low block to Joe Johnson, who's half-fronted and only can receive a safe, soft lob pass 20 feet on the wing post up.

So much pressure on having to break down a defense while dribbling. That's not Diaw's game.

I'd rather rub my hand of a cheese grater than see Diaw get anymore minutes.

He has done nothing for us. He needs to be a break the glass in case of emergency guy at this point.

He's actually not a good fit next to Rudy either. If Rudy comes to contest a shot he needs someone to at least pretend to be interested in moving over to get a rebound.

Lyles needs 30+ minutes at this point... not that he's been great but it will at least help him get more experience and work through his issues.
