Game Thread? OKC vs. Utah

[Eminence]

Quin's bench minutes are killing me. I don't know if the youth could fix our issues (in fact I'd even say I'd doubt they could), but at this point they at least deserve a real shot.

 

[SCS]

Why can’t we play Tony Bradley or Brantley or Oni or Howard.... he’ll I’d even take NWG. The bench ain’t working maybe we should try to find something.

So much this. Shake it up. Hell play 4 or 5 completely different guys off the bench for a game or two. See if anyone plays well. Nothing to lose.

Dante is looking pretty good with this unit.

RXum has the lob going

SAC just won in HOU tonight wow. they surely deserve to be in the playoffs more than we do

Moral victory we broke 90!

I have never been on board for a Gobert trade, but I'd like to see him go to a team that has at least an iota of desire to compete along side him.

 

[zyzz]

if we are seriously hoping for G-league players to save us right now, we don't deserve to be in the playoff, let alone contending for a championship

Not only G-leaguers, but rookies picked between 50-60 in the draft lol

Well it's not going to be the crew currently filling the role

 

[SoUjazzfan]

Contending for a championship, lol.

 

[Eminence]

And yeah, even if our bench does come together our ceiling seems well short of championship contention without a major change. Which is incredibly disappointing to me.

missing favors so much rn.

also crowder...

ed davis sucks

though i'd argue we gotta have better player development programs. both vanvleet and Siakam were G-leaguers to start their career. the way our team has developed TB has been majorly disappointing, especially with the Ed siging. Just a huge waste of resources

I wish Exum could get about 10 games with 15 minutes to 20 minutes per game without getting yanked for every little mistake. Give him some consistent playing time, let him build some confidence. Then assess. If he isn’t going to make the cut, then ship him out. But I absolutely hate the double standard where his mistakes are magnified and Mitchell and Mudiay are allowed to get away with such selfish play.

Joe didn’t get to handle the ball near as much in the 3rd quarter. The Jazz are so much better when Joe runs the offense vs. Mitchell. Mitchell is looking to get his shot. Joe is looking to create a good shot for somebody else.

That dude and his bro with the binoculars behind Alema and what's-his-name. Their schtick is pretty funny.

Snyder has been bad this year

Did you see the Tomic thread from earlier today? Jazz are a mess.

Good post. Spot on regarding Dante. And yeah, Donovan is becoming like Carmello.

 

[str8line]

We need to hire Thurl as our coach.

ed davis sucks

Conley trade costed us the PFs, and we decided to not go another PF in the market, but a backup C instead. what DL was thinking is way beyond me...
