But apparently we should be giving our team credit because... Reasons?

Because they still found a way to win. I totally get not being impressed with the way the bench played, but it's ok to give the other five guys on the team who played phenomenal basketball a little credit as well.

Dante Exum is robbing us. No trade value, no confidence, just a black hole of nothingness.

+/- of zero though!

It didn't show us anything we didn't already know. Our starting five is really ****ing good, the bench is a disaster.

It showed that the rotation of the bench junk that Quin seemed to had settled on is garbage and that he has to try something different. Like can Brantley really be any worse than Niang ??

Ed Davis can't score.
Jeff Green can't rebound.
Georges Niang is Georges Niang.

But they have really high basketball IQ.

They won. See my post above for further explanation.

It’s also about playing good basketball. If we play like this against 90 percent of the league, we’re going to get blown out... like we did for several games one week ago.

made you sure our starting 5 is really good? Last I checked Conley was a liability.

Joking but not really joking... not sure if I stumbled on something here or not. Are we better without Conley and jingles starting?

We're probably best with Conley and Ingles both starting. But yeah, our starting five is actually really really good.

Exum will be alright, he can go back home with his pockets full and cuddle with DBK

OK you had NWG, Oni, Morgan, Bradley and DedEx available to play tonight. The first three weren't with the Stars. They could not have stunk as bad as our bench did tonight. If I were those guys I would be really pissed at having to ride pine when our bench plays like that.

I was pretty excited when we signed Ed Davis. His defense and rebounding numbers last year were off the charts. It always seemed like he killed us on the boards when he played for Portland. What has happened to him?

I don't know. Everyone we signed, minus Bogey, is putting up career lows.

Eye opening for the lack of bench production, I sincerely hope they are trying to address this.

DL is being aggressive.

I understand that. But it tells me we’re also not improving. We weren’t competitive on our road trip a week or so ago. So the only deduction I come away with from this game is that nothing has changed. Had we played an actual NBA team tonight, we would’ve lost by 20+.

I understand the importance of winning a game. But I think more important is the trend. And that trend isn’t looking good. We’re barely winning against the worst in the league and being blown out by everyone else.

Utah Jazz vs. Warriors:

Rudy Gobert +25
Ingles +24
O'Neale +24
Bogdanovic +23

Ed Davis -18
Jeff Green -17
Georges Niang -17

This was Utah's bench against Jordan Poole, Jacob Evans, Marquese Chriss, Omari Spellman and Damion Lee. That's basically a Summer League team, plus Marquese Chriss.
