Gamethread: Utah @ Jeffersons Tonight 5pm or some such time

Again Hayward 3-11 from the field and the future of the Jazz?
Kanter 4-8 but he shot an airball lets cut him?

Play fair people.

I'm starting to join the group that believes fg% is a worthless stat. Something like eFG or TS tells the story much better, we need to account for the 50% increase in value of 3s, and Trey made 4 ( of 8 ). More efficient than meets the eye.

Exactly. Trey's three point shooting is still not a sure thing but will be at 38% after tonight. Most of the elite PGs have a career average far under that number.

Anyone rooting for the Jazz to win games this year is just wrong. There is no benefit in winning this year. Unlike most years this draft has 2 and maybe as many as 5 true franchise players. Getting one can change your fortunes for the next 15 years. Those people that want to see wins this year are bonkers.

another victim of espn hype machine.
 
Someone also make me understand why Jefferson is getting any minutes at all. He flat out told the world this week he is not resigning with the Jazz he is "going championship hunting." So lets get this straight, last year he was considered crap on the bottom of the shoe you scrape off at Golden State. I think he played less than five minutes a game. Golden State essentially pays the Jazz to take on his crappy contract. Corbin the veteran loving fool that he is decides to start him and play him major minutes over Burks (who is really coming on strong lately). What do the Jazz get for revitalizing his career? Not the chance to resign him next year on a favorable contract; they get kicked in the face. Yet Corbin still played him almost 21 minutes. Why?? Who cares if he is playing well?? He's just trying out for other teams. Why do the Jazz let themselves be used?? Why not at least play guys who will be with the team next year?

Bringing one of your top 3 ball handlers/creators off the bench balances lineups. Burks is getting 30+ minutes per game and closing. The Jazz don't have anyone else to slide into RJ's role right now (unless Ty slides Marvin back to the 3, which may happen at some point if/when Kanter/Gobert/Rush/Clark are ready for more minutes).
 
Miami didn't stop with wade

San Antonio didn't stop with The Admiral

LA didn't stop with Kobe

Detroit didn't stop with Prince

These teams would have been good, maybe even better than good. They were able to add pieces great players through the draft and free agency to set themselves up.
