Game #10 - Utah Jazz at Philadelphia 76ers - 11/16/2012 5:00 PM MST Root Sports, ESPN

OK, last one. I know someone brought up Locke and his homerism/blindness. Is is getting to be too much to handle. I'm waiting to see Lindsey make some magic happen because this team is getting to the nearly unwatchable point. I love the Jazz but watching them is making me insane a little bit at a time. What was the definition of insanity again?

The bench bringing the game back for the team is getting so old. Corbin had been doing a better job of playing the players that deserved to be on the court but last night he went completely backwards. Favors barely breaking the 20 minute marks is mind numbing. He belonged on the court against the starters because Holiday and Turner where getting to the rim at will and Millsap and Jefferson were there to watch and no much else. If Favors was in the game the shot would have been blocked, altered or would have been an incredibly good shot to go in. Favors needs to be on the court.

Agree with Favors needing more minutes, but disagree with the bench thing.

Here is what I have noticed: When Ty doesn't have any SF on the team that is seriously contributing, he puts Millsap at the three, in order to bring in Favors at the four.

In yesterday's game, Carroll was contributing. Not only that, but Millsap had his best quarter (3rd) of the entire season. So, both Millsap AND Carroll were needed in the game as long as possible. Carroll was in up until the 3 or 2 minute mark, if I am not mistaken.


Now, you could make the argument that Favors should have played against Al. But seeing as he is our best one-on-one offensive player, and our offense is already in tatters to begin with, Corbin went with the safe move.



As far as the bench is concerned, they went on a 9-0 run, but then gave up 9 points in quick succession as well. Leaving the bench, and their lack of half-court consistency in would have just buried us in the game even further. We NEED a go-to guy in the bench like it is no ones business. That, or a great passing guard. Sadly, we have none. Maybe Watson might change things.

Agree with all of this, except that when somebody else is on fire, there isn't really a need for Al so much. Carrol-Sap-Favors probably would have been steadier since Carrol and Sap were hot. Also probably the biggest wart on the offense is a lack of dribble penetration talent from anybody who isn't getting DNPs.

Hmmmm..... A dynamic wing who is not afraid to attack the basket..... Man i wish we had a player who fits that description..... maybe the guy with all the dnp's on the bench that wears number 10.

Oh no. He's no good. Just look at his career. The stats are telling
