The starters built nice leads in the 1st and 3rd quarters. They played great.
this team might just suck.

Makes sense for total touches, but doesn't really explain why he gets more frontcourt touches than Mitchell in less minutes.
edit: my initial guess is that Mitchell tends to end more possessions than Rubio but still thinking about it.
How does it not make sense for front-court touches? He brings the ball up from the backcourt to the frontcourt more often than Mitchell = more touches.

Vucevic will be all star this year.
The Jazz were up 8-2 five minutes in when Korver subbed in for Ingles, but that doesn't inherently mean the starters were great. The starters were shooting 3/11 at that point. They forced several turnovers though.

I like how people keep blaming it all on the starters when the majority of our bench players have simply been unplayable all year. I mean, just look at Thabo's numbers, Neto's numbers, Dante's numbers or even Korver's numbers. You can either find lackluster production, disastrous efficiency or both.
I don't remember when was the last time our bench actually outplayed the opponents and helped us win. I'd say only the Rockets have a more unplayable bench and it also has been the main cause to their struggles.

Defense is part of the game.

Because unless him crossing over the half court line counts as a second touch, him touching it in the backcourt and dribbling it up the frontcourt shouldn't qualify as a frontcourt touch since he touched it in the backcourt and dribbled it up the floor. To me a Rubio frontcourt touch would be something like him dribbling it up the floor (touch, not a frontcourt touch), he passes it off to someone and then he touches the ball again after receiving a pass from a teammate (frontcourt touch).
I'm struggling to find clarification on that online, the tracking glossary is pretty useless on the stats.nba.com page.
Yep and they lost.
Yeah, I'm not sure on all that.
Because unless you score more than the opposition, the rest is meaningless. Losses with good defence, effort etc. are still losses. In fact it just shows despite that effort, your players aren’t good enough.
