I agree, but Quin is loyal, favors vets, and is very stubborn.
We shall see what it takes for him to crack.

Jarrell Brantley and Miye One are probably better than Niang right now. I think Niang is still in the rotation because he plays hard, and he knows the offense. Let the veterans get the blender started and going a little bit, and then we can introduce our 2nd round draft picks into the system. Transitioning to the NBA is hard enough, trying to do that transition on a team that doesn't have it's head screwed on right is going to make it impossible. It'll take time.

David Locke keeps mentioning stuff like, if you don't play Ed Davis, Jeff Green and Mudiay, you could lose them. I always retort to that with how about doing what's best for the Jazz? If TB is considered the backup to Rudy, its because he has deserved it over Ed, and if Ed or anybody throws a tantrum about playing time, get rid of them.
We are not in the business of pandering to players, especially to one's that under perform, and then saying 'but Jeff Green played 27 minutes a game last year so we need to give him all teh minutes!1'.

I know it is definitely a factor but I hate the argument of not being able to try something because player X will check out... If they are playing worse than the other guy then what is the huge loss. It would suck to get benched but the other guy is playing better... so play better.

Absolutely mate. I know we're a family franchise, we trust our coaches and players more than most, but this is a window where we are meant to be winning, and this year's team is no exception. We need to be brutal about doing anything to succeed, especially if we are expected to win.

That stretch of basketball was the worst of the season. Multiple turnovers, in succession.

I mean if I were coach, not only would I shuffle some of the combinations of players out on the floor, and reward players who are playing better, ie TB, but I would also have clear KPI's (Key Performance Indicators) in place for every player. One of them would be less loss of concentration on the defensive end on backdoor cuts for example. You got beaten on a backdoor cut due to loss of concentration once? Fine, but don't do it again all game. Giving up multiple backdoor cuts in a row, like we did against the Lakers, on the same simple play they ran, is unacceptable.
Imagine Popovich was the coach, he would have somersaulted and cartwheeled onto the court calling a timeout in anger.
If the players need to be micro managed in this tough period we are having, then so be it.

I agree with the Tony Bradley take. In fact I said it in the game thread last night. I think that Ed is an overall better player than Tony. But if Quin is so gung ho about the Green/Niang pairing for spacing purposes then why is Ed the big when he's not a finisher offensively? What is the spacing for? It's like getting dressed up with no place to go. Tony is at least a finisher offensively. Gives the spacing a f****** purpose for existing.

Oof. If these are our “solutions” then we’re in bigger trouble than I thought!
