But how did Holiday look?

We don’t lose because of them? What does that even mean? That them playing like **** has no impact on the game? Would them playing well have any impact?
Favors hasn’t even been bad since Crowder has been missing shots, so that argument doesn’t hold a ton of weight anymore. And Rubio has at least gone off a couple times, which I more than many players on this team can say.
Obviously I am not happy with Favors or Rubios overall performance, but your post doesn’t really make sense. And the original point still stands.
Like he was on the team that had their **** together. Allen was forcing some stuff, but he looks like a natural offensive player.
Like I think if you plug Holiday into that situation with the Jazz, he probably looks worse.
I think Favors has some value. He'd be helping in Boston. He's better than Aaron Baynes. We've just had some roster attrition. Hayward left. Joe Johnson got too old. Rodney Hood didn't step up. Those guys could create shots, make passes and draw defenders. How many guys in our current rotation can do those three things? Royce is a defensive specialist. Grayson is getting his feet wet. Crowder doesn't normally create off the dribble or shoot consistently enough.

I’ve never seen a Jazz team with so many drives to the basket and come up ... well not empty , but not even close ..
Exum is scared of contact ... O’Neal just drives and runs it back to the 3pt line , and wastes about 5 seconds doing so , then fails to shoot , hot potato’s it to someone to bail us out ...
We have a bail out offence , when Donovan/Rubio / ingles are hitting shots , it covers up our poor play .
Favours is a backup Centre , how can you have a lineup of him and Gobert , along with oneal and Rubio ?
The other teams just laugh at us ...
Rubio’s turnovers were just plain awful , I’m more than happy for Neto to start ... Thabo can start at the 4 ... and burks at the 2 whilst Mitchell is out
Snyder’s panic is rubbing off on the players ... you can see it in his face

Aaron Holiday is an undersized backup PG. Comparing Holiday to Grayson Allen is a bit of apples and oranges. Grayson is a floor spacer who won't get killed guarding wings.
Favors could help a lot of teams. I think he's very trade-able. He'd be great in Washington (depending on what's going on with Howard's health).
They are both about the same functional size. Holiday actually has a better wingspan.
And Allen is currently getting killed guarding anyone.
So Houston is right with us in the standings. They just lost to Detroit, Cleveland and Washington in their last 3 games.
Allen is guarding people too closely. He's trying to get right into their body, and he's either getting blown by or getting called for fouls.
Or people are just driving right through his chest because he's undersized.
