Taylor Hendricks with a team high plus 10 in his 17 minutes.
Didn't expect that to be the case

 

[fishonjazz]

Svi getting maxed. How do we get him some help.

Ya us jazzfanz have underrated him.
To be fair, we aren't the only ones though at least.
The coaches, front offices, and fans of the Lakers, pistons, thunder, raptors, knicks, hornets, and celtics also underrated svi.
All those teams just didn't realize what a great player they had when he played for their teams.
8th team is a charm I guess.

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

Lauri with 40 min is just dumb.

He was already gassed in Boston. Tonight he fumbles with the ball few times unlike in any of six first games. That high minutes probably signals Hardy is dumb. Lauri hasn't advanced on ball skills and bases his game on movement. He can't average 37minutes w/o his production taking real bumps.

 

[David Stern]

Hardy’s rotation right now is complete ********. Get the young guys some burn and some better opportunities

Thanks to Svi. Taylor had 0 PTS, 0 AST, 0 STL, 0 BLK, 7 REB

Okay, didn’t realize that it had been that bad. I’ve always liked his length, his energy and his shot mechanics. Apparently Hardy sees something in him as well.

He looked fantastic tonight. Played hard and shot the F out of the ball and even made nice passes.
But there is a reason the jazz are the 8th team he has played for as a 28 year old who entered the league at 21 years old.
7 year career and 8 different teams usually means you are not very good.

To his credit though, he has stayed in the league the whole time and now appears to have found a home possibly with a coach who loves him.

Thurl is WCJ's biggest fan.

Ya like I said, I didn't expect that to be the case. But he obviously didn't hurt the team with a bunch of mistakes and 7 boards in 17 minutes is good. Saw him play some good defense as well.

 

[fishonjazz]

Thought Walt might have played his best game of the season.
Looked good out there

 

[fishonjazz]

Flip might have had his worst game of the season

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Detroit doesn't shoot well enough to actually go far as a playoff team, imo. Cade looks good though.

 

[rocfan1]

Nurk 6 PTS, 17 REB(3 ORB), 4 AST, 4 STL, 1 BLK in 33 MIN

Thank goodness we picked him up. Only rebounder on the team now.

Yeah, don't over use Lauri. We aren't trying to win much. There is no reason to gas him and increase his risk of injury.

Anyone know if Collier is truly benched or if he’s not actually healthy? 2nd game in a row he’s a “healthy” scratch.

 

[Shad]

I don't care what anyone says, I hate that we play Svi the second or third most minutes a night. I want to see the young guys play. I do not care if we lose by 40. Hendricks and Ace should both be getting 25 minutes a game at minimum. We do not want to watch Svi get 37 minutes a night.

I think a coach typically wants to get a player a full practice before putting them in a game. He's cleared to play from the doctors though.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

I would be pretty happy if Ace played like he did today in most of the games this season. I thought he played within the offense, worked hard, and made some positive impacts. It would be nice to have a few scoring outbursts to get us excited about, but I love the fact that he seems very coachable.

Svi is playing with an extremely high level of effort. I would love for our young guys to play with that much effort and take Svi's minutes.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Plenty of young guys are getting a ton of great minutes, but I guess there is always something to cry about

 

[HadAnEffectHere]

He has done like less than 5 practices with the team since August because of his injury so he's not in sync with the rest of the team.
