Spoiled by the compacted schedule, going through Jazz withdrawal...

First home loss of the season? I hope not, but Memphis looks really good on D. The clog up the middle and play very physical.

 

[GVC]

Kevin Love is a really good player, but he is still a career sub-50% FG shooter, which is meh for a PF.

When you take into account his 3s (both the number he takes and the rate at which he hits them) and FTs (he takes a bunch), he's actually a pretty efficient offensive player (career .567 TS%).

I still think Millsap should be our 6th man. Can anyone tell me why Corbin is starting the two worst big defenders, but the two best offensive players. They should spend as little time together as possible on the court. Did Ty panic in benching Favors after three games?

No Ty caved to the pressure of starting Millsap.

No Ty caved to the pressure of starting Millsap.

I`d say Ty caved to the pressure of starting Jefferson, with his huge contract. Millsap/Favors is the better lineup than Jefferson/Favors.

Millsap should have never gone to the bench to start the season. He was our best player last year, our best team player, and didn`t deserve to go to the bench. Right now, Millsap is the better all-around power forward than Favors (who plays best at center, and basically has no offensive game yet other than putbacks)

Till we get rid of Jefferson, Bell and Miles, the Jazz will never be winners.

Good points! I still feel like it is a general rule of thumb that your big men should shoot at least 50% from the field.

1. Or he it is pretty sensible to start your #1 offensive threat?
2. Favors wasn't ready to start. I think it was pretty clear that he wasn't able to keep up. He is still better suited as a bench player, bringing energy and shutting down the opposing teams bench.

I love Favors but Harp said it best the other night when he noted how the kid has to perfect one offensive move. Actually, just learn one offensive move. I know, I know, give it time. I am. Just saying.

Favors has a lot of moves. Just like you said, none of them are perfected or go-to moves for him yet.

You can't bench Jefferson, the Jazz can't risk upsetting Al thereby decreasing his trade value. Remember all the crap offers the jazz got for Boozer a couple years ago when everyone thought a trade was imminent. Al must start up to the day he is traded.
