This is a must lose game for the tank.

This is a must lose game for the tank.

It won't be easy. The Suns have no bigs and would struggle against the tall frontcourt that the Jazz started in the previous games. The Suns run the starting lineup of 4 guards and a mediocre PF, who is a bad rebounder and not a shot blocker.

Is there some update on Bailey ? Hopefully the 3 days of rest will do him good and he could If not start, be able to play upwards of 20-25 minutes while looking more like what he's shown before.

Hopefully the 13 minute outing was because of the flu and not the knees again.

****, finally!!!!!

Who knows. I'd hope it was the flu, because for how much worse he seemed to be moving in these two games in comparison to his preseason form, if it was the knees, him playing at all was pure malpratice.

Wait a minute... are you James Hansen?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Can we please start Ace and not see any Svi (Svi has actually been good... but we need to get back to development).

So Wiz have a swap with the Suns if their pick is better than the Wiz... but overall they still will benefit from tanking if the season doesn't go well. This is a stealth BOGO game as the Suns could very well be in tank city if a couple months.

Ace has shown zero reasons to start him so far. He would be just fine cutting his teeth against fellow bench players: forcing him to defend Booker would be just cruel.

 

[jazznik]

Also, I really hope that Ace finally has a semi-decent game, because in his first two games he arguably was worse than Cody a year ago.

I’m with you, fish. I’m pretty excited to watch the Jazz play this year because of the storylines (young guys, Lauri) and the importance of this season for our future.

0 reason? He was leading all rookies with scoring before he got hurt

He wasn't leading anybody in scoring. He has 2 points in a game and then 0 in the next one.

 

[homeytennis]

Is Ace still sickly?

Maybe you forgot the "before he got hurt."

IE: When he sat for tendinitis and was leading the rookies in scoring.... Reading comprehension can be hard

I didn't forget anything. I'm just giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you made a mistake, as opposed to doing something silly like pretending preseason games are anything more than glorified practices.

 

[Tanktastic]

Starting Ace at this point wouldn't be development, it would be malpractice. Learn to walk first before running a marathon. And yeah, once he's back to full fitness, that might happen quickly.
