What's new

Game Thread - Jazz VS. Nuggets - November 28th, 2017

Jerebko with 15 pts and 8 assists. That was big last night without Hood and Johnson. Mitchell wasn'the scoring before the 4th qtr, and Ingles wasn't scoring either. He was big. Seems to have a good bb iq, is an active player on both ends of the court who spreads the floor. Glad his shot was falling.
 
I only could watch the second half. But boy, what a half!! Best game all year in my opinion. Or at least, best half. :-)
 
Why not split time with Favors and Gobert at the 5? I understand ego's and all but Favors is on his way out if things revert back to the way they were at the start of the season. Favors and Hood off the bench would be awesome and would really throw a wrench into game planning for opposing coaches. Perhaps the best scoring punch in the league for a second unit. It may be a new wrinkle that really gives us an advantage.
 
Favors is not re-signing if Gobert is here (because they don't work together, at least not on this roster), especially not now. So do you trade Gobert so you can HOPE to re-sign Favors?

That is supposed to be rhetorical because that's lunacy.
 
I think we see why Rudy and Derrick can't co-exist. Need that additional threat. It's not like Jerebko is a star, but by having just Favors inside and the rest 3PT threats, it opens things up.
We've known this for a while. Since JJ became the full-time starter last year at the latest.
 
I slept, missed the beginning, and tuned in just in time to see Thabo swipe the ball away from Lyles and go slam it.

Royce looked leagues better than Bolomboy. Don't know why that was a tough call for them. Jerekbo looked great, Neto, damn good game. FAVORS!!! That was like his best game in a Loooonnngg time. he had a +/- of 30 or something crazy like that

Maybe we keep Favors and play him at the 5 next year????..... Give Gobert some rest? Or we trade him.

That's it in a nutshell. Favors would be a nice backup 5 if he were willing to re-sign for what we are paying him now and accept that roll. But that ain't happening and Favors will very likely demand more money than he is worth to the Jazz.

So we trade him, which is too bad because I hate to see him leave.

I would like to make clear that despite my frustrations with Favors over the years — including the lineup issues — I know he is a very good player, and likely a very good starter on the right team. It just sucks that the Jazz are in no position to capitalize on that.
