deron should not play the entire second half

Sloan is not "suddenly a horrible coach." He's always been a slightly above average coach and now has a heck of a tenure.

Every time Evans has come into the game, the Jazz have gotten an immediate offensive contribution. Somehow, that results in him being benched for several games. Also, we have other players that can play a few fresh minutes and use up a foul or two...

Maybe if you looked at his defensive production, you would understand why he is benched.

I have, and I don't expect a lot for four minutes of play. But a few quick points and resting a Millsap or a Kirilenko is worth it.

Glad you feel that way man, but it's not your call. If Deron doesn't think he can hack it, he can ask out of the game at any time.
 
first of all i did not say sloan is a horrible coach. i did not say deron sucks.
i just ,eam that when deron plays the entire second half it seems like he is running on fumes. so there are 2 options either deron gets his conditioning to the next level, or sloan doesnt play him too many minutes

until derons conditioning is able to take it sloan needs to rest him. it is a small sample size(dallas and miami game), in the memphid game he was fresh. or it could jsut be that memphis sucks compared to dallas and miami.

In the playoffs and in playoff type games, rotations are going to tighten up and your stars are goingto get more minutes. That's just a fact of the NBA. If Deron can't handle it, he needs to hit the gym, because the team counts on him. And by contrast, as a team player, I would expect that if he thinks his extended minutes in these playoff type games is hurting the team, then he needs to do something about it by either A) getting into shape or B) telling the coach that he needs more rest. But I think coach Sloan has a very good handle on the conditioning of his players and knows what they can handle. If he didn't think Deron could handle it, he wouldn't play him. But like I said, Deron is going to need to be used to these extended minutes come playoff time.
 
The Jazz are at their best when they develop a set rotation. I agree, I don't like it when Deron goes wire-to-wire in the 2nd-half - particualarly in the regular season.
