The bolded part is alot closer to the truth. Forget rankings for a moment
2009-10:
PPG: 104.2
Pts/100possessions: 110.7

2012-13:
PPG: 98.0
Pts/100possessions: 106.5

Bottom line: The Jazz are a less efficient offensive team than they were from 2006-10 and they are also now a significantly worse defensive team as well (2009-10: 105 pts/100possessions vs. 2012-13: 107.5 pts/100possessions)


More minutes for Favors and Kanter and fewer for Jefferson won't make Utah a better offensive team but their effort, ability and mobility on the defensive end will improve Utah's team-defense which is what Utah should be concentrating on. With Jefferson as a focal point Utah is merely average offensively and sub-par defensively. The Jazz need to build longterm around players who possess the ability to make them very good at atleast 1-end of the court.

If we're better than most of the leauge in most offensive categories, than by default we must be over averge. At least that's the logic I get out of this.

And I get what you're saying about the offense, but what you're complaning about seems more of Corbin's problem than Al's. Al's shooting 15 shots a game which is his lowest number of attempts since being here/

O yea I definitly agree on Kanter and Favors needing to be the future of this team. I Think they'll be much better than the Sap-Al combo going forward. Especilly defensively. I never said otherwise.
 
I usally just stay in my Jazz channel thread, but the amount of exaggeration and pessimism I read, does not match what I see, during the multiple times I watch these games, and the stats I see about the team on both basketball reference and Nba.com. Not to mention the 7th seed we're holding steady at.

Reading this forum, with no prior knowledge about any of that, you'd have to conclude we we're 15 games out of the playoffs, with Coach smart(sac) at the helm of the team.

How much fun would a Favors-Millsap-Carroll-Hayward-Bledsoe lineup be?

Yep, not only would they really get after teams defensively - but they wouldn't necessarily have the talent to throw the ball to 1 guy and let him score with mediocre efficiency ... so they'd have to execute the offense. Hayward is creating more but for much of the season it's been amazing how many baskets our current 2nd-unit gets just by playing aggressive defense and cutting/setting hard screens on offense.

replace mansap with kanter and i'm all for it. bring carroll along with millsap off the bench. start mawill, i think he could be the mawill we hoped him to be (like in the preseason) with an increased role on the offensive end. carroll and millsap could be a great spark off the bench, getting 25-30 mpg. mawill could bring the outside shooting we need even if he was quite a disappointment so far this season. he for sure will do much better next year...

LMAO, trade Rondo for someone who can walk & mid-round lottery picks...

This allows them to have Paul's bird rights and give them our two pick plus a future first rounder...

Hell throw in burks if we need to get the deal done!!
 
What makes people think Millsap has any intrest in coming off the bench? And if we're truly commiting to developing our young players at the end of the seasons, there's no reason he should start over Kanter/Favors
 
Who cares. He will play 15 mpg behind Tinsley and Watson until he's played five years on three teams.

Did you guys forget who our coach is?

Why? There are 96 minutes at the 4 and 5. Even if Kanter or Favors are coming off the bench, with one fewer player getting 30+ minutes in front of them, there could easily be enough minutes for them to develop. You could give Millsap and Favors 30 minutes, Kanter 24, and still have 12 minutes left over for a 4th big.
