Utah Jazz vs. Atlanta Hawks (6pm MST/9pm Puerto Ricoooo time)

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

They need to adopt the bad boy mentality. Maybe hire ol Bill Laimbeer. He'd light a fire under these nice gentleman Jazz players.

I like the Hawks announcers thinking that this is some sort of breakout performance by Gobert. Dude does this night in, night out.

That reminds me is he getting close to moving up the GOAT jazz center list?

What an absolute beat down. I hope we get back into a defensive groove the way we did 2 yrs ago. I loved that identity.

*This was one of Rudy's most dominant performances of his career.

*Is Exum in the doghouse, or.....?

Great Win, but not much action for us Aussie supporters today.

Exum is obviously in the doghouse with Quin, not sure its the greatest tactic as a coach to practically single exum out as the reason they had been on a losing streak. I would have thought having favours and hill out injured was a much more likely reason the jazz had struggled.

To me it looked like exum was just starting to build his confidence, he has definitely been more aggressive this season and his shooting has improved. Defensively he is very good.

Some coaches have the ability to get the best out of the younger players and some don't. We'll have to wait and see what exums progress will be under Quin.

I don't think that's the case at all. Just the odd man out. Jazz are playing for more then in years past. This happens all over the NBA every year.

I think for exum to get more time he needs to improve his playmaking. His assist numbers as a starting pg were atrociously bad.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Lyles didn't shoot well, but the gen rebounds in 27 minutes is a real good sign. Still so young and raw. I don't think even he knows how good he can be.

I can understand the jazz are in a position to want to win now, not just develop.

However there is minutes available behind hill and it would be the perfect opportunity to develop a player such as exum without too much pressure on him against second team units or needing to play big minutes.

Playing Mack rather then exum is not making any difference to the results of the team.

Gobert is in the dude's heads. He didnt even have to challenge Millsap to make him double clutch and miss a layup. That was hilarious.

I wonder what Sap's stats against size are

Agreed ... and i still think Akermanis was shafted by the Lions

Want to give some props to Withey too. When Rudy went out with 4 minutes left in the half Jeff came in and played great. Helped us get a nicer cushion going into the half

This is our brilliant coach for you. Dante shows things offensively and instead of encouraging him and telling him "that was great, now put it all together and defend like you can" he puts him in the dog house cuz "he should concentrate on D, instead of looking for his offense"... Really good way to break his building confidence on O. But hey... Shelvin ****ing Mack should be playing instead of him in blowouts...

This... he was just unreal under there... looked like junior high kids trying to shoot over the varsity center.

Also George Hill wants his money... please let's give it all to him. I'd love another pg AB rant about how he is okay but paying him would be a huge mistake because in 5 years there is a can't miss crop of euro pgs.

Mack was good tonight but yeah I can't have him playing over Dante with what we are banking on with him.

Exum will play, but there will be games where he sits. I think honk there's times when Mack is playing well. It's an oppertunity for him to rest up and watch and learn as a young raw player. When Mack isn't playing well he will get minutes. I don't really want Exum getting sh mins. Like he was earlier.

i think the arguement is he's watched for a whole year and isn't going to learn or develop confidence other than by playing in real NBA games.

U missed my point. I said he'd play some sit some. Two years ago all he did was what ever it took to not make mistakes. Played defense and hung around the three point line. Watching for a ful season does him no good. He needs to play, make mistakes then learn by watching to fix mistakes. By playing and watching he can get the coaching he truely needs.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

I'm sure coach has told him as much. I'm sure he knows he will play some sit some. I'm sure he knows he needs to stay ready.

Isn't that what practice is for ? Anyway i don't disagree in principle, i just find it odd when someone who doesn't particularly move the needle as far as the team's fortunes present or future goes plays ahead of him.
