Did you watch the game? Not everything is traditional, individual production. Saying that all of the success of the second unit was Either Watson or Tinsley, Burks, Hayward, and not the men responsible for controlling the paint and locking it down is a pretty hard sell to anyone that watched the game.

I can agree with this. Their defense is so consistently good that our bench usually has no trouble outscoring the other team even when Favors and Kanter are having off-nights offensively.

Forget about the rotations for a minute and try to justify the utter lack of direction on offense this team has displayed ever since teams took away our transition game. It's unbelievably bad. I don't know what the hell Corbin is doing, and apparently he doesn't either.

Maybe it is just a lack of intensity, but it is painful to watch when down the stretch the Jazz offense reverts to: one pass and a jump shot, or pass to Al, who puts up a contested shot or throws it out to the pg in the corner.

There are some exceptions, but imo the repetition of those scenarios is what kills us.

I said I get that Favors as a defensive sub would have made sense. I thought both Favors and Kanter played excellent D. But Favors was a nightmare on offense and Kanter wasn't much better. That run we made in the 2nd (and holding serve in the early 4th) was all about the break. But on offense, those dudes were terrible. 6 TO's in 30 combined minutes.

"Favors was awful", then "Favors and Kanter played excellent D".

That is not awful.
 
The hard part is I'm a spurned fan that's totally excited about the 6-12 of our lineup if we ever commit. Would go from POd to euphoric

Then I amend my hyperbole. But it's hard to play post players when they're awful on offense which they were. That said, I would always sub Favors into any game for a last second defensive substitution no matter how he's playing.
 
plz Favors was bad on O but a better touch from being excellent on O. I'll take it any day. Once he gets that touch it will be all worth it.
Play the guy
 
Foye has moved into Roger Bell mythical status in Ty's mind. He thinks Randy is essential to the offense that isn't actually running. Consequently, Randy Bell will log more and more minutes no matter how he plays. He played great tonight. But on the other 9 nights out of 10 where he's worthless, he'll play just as much.

Randy Foye thinks hes better than he is. Earlier in the season when he was coming off the bench, he was playing as if he was the primary option in the 2nd unit. He doesn't deserve the right to try to create his own shot because he can't. And he plays horrible defense too.
