Game Thread - Jazz @ Mavericks 5 PM MTN

In looking at the box score I feel like this game represents what we have/can expect from our team.

Really nice contributions defensively from Exum, Niang and Allen, plus some good offense. And Rudy's focus on offense and the lob, more trips to the FT line...

The future showed well in that performance.

Just take a look at this:

Did Thabo not play yesterday because Niang played so well?

I think Thabo is a dust off in case of emergency option imo. His defense wasn't great last year... it was okay, but he gets beat a lot off the dribble. He's still disruptive cuz that wingspan doe.

He's a good guy to get the juices going prior to the playoffs and think he could be more valuable as the game slows down and they allow more physicality. He gets away with more holding and such than our other guys.

Ekpe box plus/minus always amazes me. He's a great defender but such a nothing offensively... always comes out with a +/- of +10 or higher. It's been a thing his whole career. A testament to all the little stuff he does.

The bench played so well against Dallas Snyder might have been afraid he'd mess up the chemistry. In games like against Memphis Snyder has 'thrown players against the wall and hoped they'd stick' - we'll see more of Thabo in those situations.
 
rudy "offensive liability" gobert is currently the Jazz best offensive player as well as defensive, by miles. Where are the fools who keep saying hayward was the Jazz best player? rudy was always the best player and he always elevates everyone. Have to be fair tho to mitchel who is smack dab in the middle currently because he has a big role on offense and that role can often times hurt your ratings, but the cogs in the jazz machine are working well right now. They retooled after that horrendous Memphis game.

Plus watching him lumberishly-running down the court is oddly humorous.

He looked like he just woke up from a nap.
