Punch Bowl Re-Filler
I'm not back on the bandwagon. I continue to wish for a trade as it's clear Favors and Kanter should be playing more and Burks and Foye should have their roles - and minutes - reversed. The ONLY reason for Favors NOT getting 25-30 mins is if his plantar fasciitis is causing him too much pain or if it won't heal unless he rests.
That said, the team still has enough talent that I expect them to win 45 games. I predicted a possible 50 before the season, but that was based on more improvement than what we've seen so far from the Young 4, a bigger impact from Marvin and now, of course, Mo will miss another 6 weeks.
IF the Jazz can go 3-3 over the next six games (wins at Phoenix, Charlotte and Detroit), Utah has a good chance of making a nice run into the all-star break. After the game at Detroit, Utah will play 11 of 15 at home. Only games that look really tough are Miami, @ LA Lakers and then OKC. Good chance of winning 10-11 games. I won't be surprises if the Jazz have a record around 29-25 at the break. That's only 3 off where I had hoped they'd be.
