Can the C.J. Miles experiment please end?

Clown did a few good things against Dallas, but they lost. That's the problem. As his minutes go up the Jazz start to loose. It's because of all the small things players need to do to help their team win. CJ is an imaginary super star, not a team player. No lateral defense at all and he gets confused easily. They should give him 5 minutes max, not 20 minutes, unless they like loosing to good teams like Dallas and LA.

You do realize that for 2 games in a row he has had the best +/- on the team?

Though +/- means little both Hayward and Harris were far bigger problems against Dallas than CJ was. We really missed Howard against that team. He could have had a huge impact defending Marion.

Miles has also been reboudning really well.

Yea his rebounding and defense are far superior to anything we have ever seen from him. I also like that he is passing more and chucking much, much less.

It's so ****ing bizarre to me that at times he shows that he has a legitimately decent basketball acumen and then goes back to one of the worst chuckers I've ever seen.

I think he feels pressure to try and be the Jazz outside threat because of our severe lack of an outside threat.

Hayward sparked our comeback in the 3rd and was playing very active defense and disrupting the Dallas offense. Ty sat him and brought in CJ and the Dallas offense started to click right along.

It isn't bizarre at all when you factor in his total lack of anything resembling a basketball IQ.

Yet Hayward finished -5 and CJ finished +5. If he sparked the comeback you would think he would be on the floor for more points than they gave up.

Shows you why +/- is all but useless. You also have to remember that he was on the floor at the beginning when the starters could do nothing and dallas built their lead. +/- cannot show impact during particular parts of the game. But in the 3rd it was very obviously active defense, particularly by Hayward, that started turning things around. They swap out Miles and then one or 2 others and the rally stops. You should watch games, not just meaningless stats.
