Game Thread Jan 30, 2022 06:00PM MT: Jazz at Wolves

[jom2003]

On a night like tonight, yeah, I'll put up with 5 TOs. Conley is much better at running the team than Schroeder would be. He's also been playing better recently as well, averaging 16 pts and 5 ast over his last 5 games, despite not having Gobert to play off of. Conley is better than an average starter, and he runs Quin's system pretty efficiently.

Yeah but the argument was whether the Conley trade is a good one. Conley is a good player. Better than average. Sure. But we overpaid to get him. His trade help put Memphis in the strong position that they are now and also created a hole in our roster which we haven't been able to fill to this date. Last time a team gave up future first round picks to gain pieces to win now, then end with a worse record than the team that gave up the pieces was the Celtics/Nets in 2013.

What about Joe Jesus for a JIngles replacement?

Hope Jingles has a speedy recovery. He’s been a favorite player of mine and he sounds like a great family man.

Jazz need to bring in another young prospect

 

[The Thriller]

This season is unraveling quickly. Only what, 5 games From being out of the playoffs entirely?

I was only thinking until the season is over.

I was only thinking until the season is over.

But I don’t think we have any draft picks.

But I don’t think we have any draft picks.

We don't but he's a guy that knows the system and could give a few good minutes. There are guys out there like Hutchison, Valentine, Jackson that were first round picks and are currently free agents.

 

[Release the Kraken]

Too bad Quin isn't here to take the blame tonight. Maybe it is true that our players just aren't good enough. Without DM/Rudy or not, T’Wolves is a team that we should be beating. At worst, definitely shouldn't get blown out at halftime.

Face it, outside of being tall, Whiteside is not that good at defending and Gay is not even that tall.

Don't know where else to put this, but I thought it was interesting if not good analysis:



TLDW; It could be multiple ligament tears AND a patella dislocation (RIP), but maybe it's just ("just"?) a patella dislocation? I'm gonna expect the worst.

 

[LoPo]

Conley is a good player and a consummate professional and a great guy and teammate, and absolutely a terrible fit from the get-go.

Exactly.

There is no vendetta against the guy. He's just not a good enough fit to push us past where Rubio was taking us because his arrival cost us not only Rubio, but a great 3&D player and a solid role player.

Pain could be good. A torn ACL isn't necessarily painful.

It depends on so many factors ( individuals pain tolerance, bone bruise, other ligaments involved or not?). I had torn meniscus and then 15 years later torn ACL. ACL hurt way way more than meniscus....I was in agonizing pain rolling on the soccer field for 30 sec at least. Meniscus on the other hand did not feel like much pain when I fell, I stood up and just could not flex my knee.

 

[Rubashov]

Well that takes him off the trade table

**** you

 

[homeytennis]

So…. the silver lining is Ingles isn’t getting moved and will likely now retire a Jazz man… Not that this is the way we wanted that to happen.

Bricky Ricky is also out for the season with an ACL tear.
