Nice! Next two games will make a huge difference for the tank. Jazz lose both. . . And they have to be considered tank threats again.
Statistically, the Jazz should lose to Washington. They are a "playoff" category team and have a .200 winning % against that category. But the Sacramento game is HUGE. Utah needs to sit Favors at the least.
I went back and looked and UGLI is right. Wash is in the "fighting" group. Definitely a winnable game for Utah. Dang. These next two nights ARE huge. Good call Ellis.
That would be me.Who's Ellis?

So, I went through each player and put together their starting/bench record.
Kanter Starting: 1-18
Kanter Bench: 13-15
Burke Starting: 13-16
Burke Out: 1-14
Hayward Starting: 11-26
Hayward Out: 2-3
Favors Starting: 13-26
Favors Out: 0-3
Burke Starting @ SG: 2-3
Bench: 14-29
A couple of things we already knew. We live and die by Burke. Also, in limited sample size, Favors is equally as important. Hayward isn't very important to our overall record. As a team, we have about the same winning % with or without Hayward. Burks is clearly a SG, not a PG. And Kanter is NOT starting material yet. Also, Kanter went to the bench when Burke came back, and so I don't know of Kanter's bench record is because of Kanter, or if he is just winning because of Burke.
Burke record also looks so good cause he never had to play without marv, evans, garret, and rush..... and he never had to play with tinsley, biedrins, and mike harris
