btw why is gobert only playing 26 min ?? i'm starting to think they really aren't necessarily trying to win games at this stage, perhaps showcasing Kanter ...??

Gobert was getting scored on by Zeller,not Rudys best night. Kanter was 10 for 16 for 20 points.

Some of my thoughts.....

I wish that all the bigs minutes went to favors, kanter, and gobert.

In the first half trey dribbled way too much and was very indecisive.

The crowd loved rudy and even got some rudy chants going.

I was yelling at quin to get Hayward in the game early in the 4th..... Hayward should have played 40+ minutes tonight. When Hayward is out we have too many passive, indecisive, and just plain bad offensive wing players in the game. This is when we really miss Burks. At least he would be aggressive and put pressure on the defense and get some free throws, if nothing else.

The best part of the game crowd wise was when ingles was pestering turner. Crowd was going ape**** for ingles and even gave him a half standing ovation when he went to the bench. Ingles is physical and can play bigger or smaller in different situations. He was boxing bigger players out nicely tonight.

Zeller did not fear the stifle tower. Rudy couldn't seem to even get his hands up to challenge alot of zellers shots.

Sullinger is fat

I was getting into it a little with a Boston fan (there were alot of them) and at the end of the game I went down to him and said congratulations on your team hurting thier lottery chances...... our tank is stronger than yours.

There has to be a balance in using the rotation of the 3 players. And whoever says that Gordon needs to play big minutes at 40 range is right to his bones. Unfortunately, the team has not any other player that brings experienced basketball brains and effort to feed the team basketball, make the ball move in the direction of winning consistently, except for maybe Ingles.

I believe this is because the Jazz lack the experience playing together in a solid system in which they would need time to comprehend their roles and don't push to achieve personal goals that are in contrast to team goals. Time is needed. But one or two more experienced hand to aid Gordon's contribution wouldn't hurt the Jazz. You have to learn to outsmart your opponent everygame. It's not just about outrunning them. Actually, if you are moving the ball good enough to outsmart them, you don't even need to outrun them. But how many choices does Quin have? Youth = Running & Vets=Moving the ball? I'm glad he is the type that tries to do both and be patient about his inventory.
 
Hopefully, the Jazz can rebound from this one. I missed the game, but I'm always sad when the Jazz don't win.
 
Well, it would also help if we had a starting SG (or even a backup). Can't expect much from Millsap and throwing Dante over there. Ingles has done an admirable job, but he's not a starter. Burks and Hood getting hurt certainly helps the tank. It will be very interesting to see what the Jazz in the draft.
