Game Thread- Brooklyn Nets vs. Rudy & his subordinates

[Jamezz]

Evans doesn't give a **** that we're up 35 in the final seconds - NO EASY BASKETS

Lol I know, that was epic, he always, always makes something happen.

Yet never gets play time. One of the most questionable moves by Snyder. Another question is giving Gobert only 19 minutes.

So whose minutes would you like him to take? Not a questionable move in the least.

When's the last time the Jazz won by 35+?

Why in god's name is Kanter still in?

Kanter had an off night - I think QS was trying to give him some burn to keep his confidence going. He hit a few baskets near the end of the game. Good to leave on a high note.

Oh I missed most of the first Q so I thought it must have been then. Thanks.

The play-by-play says 5:35 left in 3rd quarter

Dante's passing has been sublime today! Too bad the bigs haven't been able to finish most of those...

Yeah, he made 3 or 4 beautiful passes into the post that weren't finished for whatever reason. Probably should have had a few more assists.

True, hard to find minutes for him. The only way I see it happening is taking some minutes from Joe and that would be going big, trying Evans at the 3 and moving Hayward to the 2. The big man rotation is pretty well set, baring any injury.
But yeah, tough situation for the kid, he's still one of my favorite though.

I disagree, and I said it through the thread. I've noticed Quin is damn conservative when we're up big. He should have played scrubs and those who need to work on their game the entire fourth quarter unless the lead dropped below 15 or 16. The Nets played nobodies. None of our players got hurt, but all it would take is a hard foul by the other team. I remember Hayward injuring his shoulder or something on an innocent looking play a while back. **** happens. Why risk it?

I was thinking the same thing. If I did this right it was 2008!
Happened 22 times since 84-85 season.

Could be right. Makes more sense with him I guess. Maybe the same thing for Favors a bit, since he didn't really get anything until the final quarter.

I am not talking about who plays in garbage time. I was saying that playing Evans, under normal circumstances, would have to come at the expense of a superior player. It is perfectly understandable that he doesn't factor into Quin's plans.
