Favors deserves to close games

[fishonjazz]

Rudy has played like **** the last week. Favors has been significantly better. I don't think that's a long term trend, but it's a little concerning.

He had 2 bad games and 2 good games to be accurate.
He had 19 points, 19 rebounds and 2 blocks at home against new Orleans and 22 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks on the road against new Orleans.

He stunk it up against the bucks (5 points, 9 rebounds, and 1 block) and Memphis (9 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 blocks)

It's just so incredibly rare for Rudy to have a game like those two against the bucks and grizzlies that it seems like a bigger slump than it really is.

And while favors has been mostly good during that same stretch he also only had 3 points on 1-5 shooting in the loss against memphis.

Every once in a while, I think we need to give our bigs a night off.

I don’t think he played well in that first NO game. The stats may have been there, but I thought he played pretty soft.

This makes a ton of sense to me. We’re not going to be less than the 6 anyways, I’d rather everyone be healthy for the playoffs. You can start Crowder with either Gobert or Favors, and give Ekpe and Thabo more minutes.
