Jazz vs Raptors | Wednesday November 3rd @ 6pm

Nice win but my concern is our bench production. Starters had to play big minutes. If CJ doesn't score coming off the bench then the Jazz are in big trouble. Fortunately, he has played well the last two games.

I said a similar thing in the last game thread, where the bench got more minutes than tonight but (except for CJ, of course) still posted lots of zeroes all the way across their box scores. The extended burn for the starters may be a response to that, and although it was a successful short-term solution, bearing in mind this was only our second game in a week and energy levels would be higher than normal, in the longer term it isn't sustainable. We need the bench - all the bench - to start showing up and contributing.

Miles just needs to keep hitting those 3's and keep the hacking to a minimum and we should be fine. Elson is the worse pick and roll player ever, need Memo back and Fes to limit his hangovers.
The Jazz have two more cake teams (the Clips, W's) before heading down to South Beach.

Clippers aren't a cake team. Their record has been BRUTAL, Blazers, Warriors, Mavs, and Spurs. We'd be 0-4 too had we played those teams.

If anything, the OKC Thunder are a cake team. They're killing the thunder right as we speak. We may not have a W against a quality opponent yet with the way the Thunder are playing right now.

Millsap/Jefferson will actually (finally) play against a frontline this time. Kaman and Griffin are huge threats. If Andrea Baragni hurt us I can only imagine what Blake Griffin is going to do...
 
What happened to Hayward?

What's going on with our bench?

Price isn't going to nail 3's very often and CJ isn't usually going to be red hot either... Hayward needs to play a bigger role and Evans needs to get healthy fast. Fess, stop partying.

They're beating down the Thunder by 19 with 3 mins left. Soooooooo...

That Clipper game has the makings for a trap game. The back end of the first b2b of the season. We play @ GS on Friday (they'll run and run) we'll come home without much energy thinking we'll roll over a typical crappy Clipper team and will be politely introduced to Blake Griffin.

Unlike the teams we have thus faced, the Clippers actually have a pretty solid frontline. Don't expect Jefferson and Millsap to get the layups they've gotten the past few games while not having to play anyone that wants to mix it up in the post.

Easy on Fesenko. It was 3 for $1.09 night at del Taco Tuesday . . .
 
I dont know why everyone is suddenly concerned about the bench. We never had much of a bench to begin with. And until Okur gets back, the bench is going to be mediocre.The starters have to get it done, while developing some chemistry in the process. Bench is filled with non-shooters(Price, Watson), rookies(Hayward, Evans) and newcomers(Elson) who don't look comfortable yet. If Miles is up and down so will the bench.
