1/7/15: Official Game Thread--Utah Jazz @ Chicago Bulls 6PM MT--ROOT, NBALP

Trey had a pretty decent game. If he can play like that all the time, then we'll be in really good shape. You can tell that having Gobert behind him helps out his confidence a lot on defense.

Biggest Q of the year for me was:
can D-Fav and Bear play together?

Hell yes, they can. The Jazz have found their future frontcourt

X - X - Hayward - Favors - Gobert

That's one heck of front line to be honest. Imagine adding Dragic (then once Exum is ready), and then a 3 and D guy or shooter.

Really solid game on offense and defense for him. Exum also did well on defense.
 
Easily the most impressive win of the year. One of the most impressive in many years in fact...they just went into Chicago and shut them down, and Utah was the team not at full strength. I was not expecting that at all. The shortening of the lineup played real well tonight.
 
I think I like a big rotation of favors, gobert and booker rather than kanter. If it's at all possible to get any meaningful assets, as always, I am down with trading kanter.
 
Hayward swats Butler

Well tbh, all of our injuries are to are weaker defensive players. The guys who have been replacing them are better defenders and I think that is helping. We have Gobert playing more, Exum playing more, and now have Millsap out there playing defense. Overall we play more guys who care about playing defense more since those injuries.

Not entirely true but OK. I'm not trying to downtalk Rudy or anyone infact I said Rudy should start as well but before Enes was injured the last 8 GMs we were 5-3 and our DefRtg was @98.2 w/ Enes on the court so even before the injury there was definitive improvement. But you just keep hatin on Enes doe...
 
I'd still like to keep Kanter. Most of the elite teams have 3 good bigs in their rotation. Also, bigs seem to get injured more easily than guards. Who knows how Rudy's body will respond to 30 mins a night? Kanter is still a valuable asset at around 10mil a year. His defense has improved and I think he would destroy against second unit players. Didn't he average 19/9 as a starter this December or something? I think a Favors, Gobert, Kanter, Booker rotation would be pretty great.
 
Gobert is doing something Kanter never has been able to. BRING IT EVERY GAME. Kanter has great games, some good games, and a whole bunch where he isnt impacting it at all.

Looks like Enes is the odd man out of the bigs right now. I love the idea of bringing him off the bench.
