Rockets @ Jazz - 7PM MST Wednesday- FSN

Jerry Sloan's love affair with small ball is ruining this team. Why is Ronnie Price on the floor with Earl Watson....ever? Price is 6'1, has no PG skills, and can't spread the floor, there are very few reasons for him to ever be in an NBA game.

He doesnt have SG skills either. Since they had a couple of small guys in Lowry and Brooks lighting us up from 3-pt land, Sloan might have thought going small with Price would be better defense-wise

He's terrible on D, let's get that out of the way. But his offensive game is the essence of perfection from a pure skills standpoint. To do what he does having sub-par physical attributes AND a weird shot speaks volumes to his natural talent for the game and work he's put into it. You cannot find a purer, more intelligent, and more SKILLFUL scorer in this league. The Jazz would do really well to magically acquire him and haters are up in the night.
 
Martin seems to be the kind of guy that teams would quickly sort out in the playoffs. His lack of toughness on D makes it a little less appealing too. The Jazz need an Iguodola or even a Jason Richardson type SG.
 
Rumor has it that Magic wont keep Jason around unless they win a title.Will we able to snag him at a lesser price this offseason with AK's contract coming off the books? Probably not, but still I would want to know. Jason should like the idea of Deron feeding him the ball.

So Watson takes an ill-advised 3 with 6 seconds left on the shot clock, then an And-1 on the other end. And the final play goes to a guy shooting 6-17 for the game. Gawd this team has a bunch of idiots and/or terrible coaches. I know Utah has a couple of starters missing, but this team has gone to ****. It's time to dismantle this mess and start over.

But we're still young! Just wait until we get healthy!! Once we start gelling, watch out!!!
 
Im not sure why all of you are so incredibly emotional regarding this game.

I thought it was a great game played by both teams...I like the Rockets...they're a group of scrappy dudes. Anyway, the game was enjoyable to watch and Sloan's penchant for putting the team in a haphazard position was expected and confirmed.

Anyway, without Deron and others on the court, we have a pretty sad team out there....
 
Has Sloan gone brain dead? Seriously, does he just go down his lineup card and determine pt for his wings by whether the card says SF or SG and/or whether there is an R behind it? Raja is doing next to nothing, yet always gets the majority of minutes. RP: he's a zero and should get no pt, but Sloan puts him in because Raja gets tired and RP is the only other guy with SG beside his name. Hayward has good games and then gets no minutes.

Is there a worse combo of SG in the league? Has there ever been?
