I think Millsap may actually be better suited to play sf. He looks a bit like Paul Pierce (without the 3-ball).

Not sexy but in many ways, this is unfolding exactly as we want so far. I'd love our young guys to be the ones to push us in to the playoffs.
Burks looks pretty good out there too.
I think he actually had three spectacular smashing dunks!
Has Ty ever switched the starting line-up at the half? Don't count on it. Either way, as long as the Jazz keep moving the ball they should be fine.

Yes, he has. Sap opened the second half at the 3 one game (the first game he got minutes at the 3).
He did against Portland this year when he first started to use the big lineup and found out that it dominated, but who knows what the hell he'll do--he's not as conservative as Sloan but too much so for my taste.
One thing is very apparent about this game: the Magic are running almost every single offensive play against some sort of high screen with Al Jefferson. He cannot defend this at all, and it is putting a lot of pressure on the rest of the team. Watch it next half. If he cannot defend these high screens, we will lose the game.
I try hard not to complain in a game that is tied and that we are going to win, but sometimes Corbin's treatment of Kanter bothers me. Did anyone notice the play that got Kanter benched. First, I thought Kanter and Favors really came in and gave the Jazz a lift. Kanter is playing hard and he ends up having Neilson, Orlando's point guard, switched onto him. A height advantage of 12 inches and 150 pounds weight advantage. He post up and Tinsley ignores him and goes to the other side to run the dump down to Favors. He posts up again and they miss him. Kanter decides to clear out and Tinsley finally recognizes the mismatch and throws the ball to kanter while his back is turned and it was deep on the baseline, which Kanter does a good job of saving it from going out of bounds, by throwing it back up top. Corbin immediately turns and calls for Jefferson who doesn't notice because he is too busy clapping because we still make a bucket to notice. A timeout is called and out comes Kanter even though he was playing well. I know its doesn't matter because we are in a playoff hunt, but give the kid a chance.
