re-read my post. i never said that he catches a gallon of milk... and that is beside the point.

Rudy can be squarely holding the basketball with two hands, and an errant finger could poke it loose with ease. He loses the ball from the waist about 5 times a game. For a man with the largest hands in his draft class, to lose the ball like that.. screams weak hands.

So, to tie this all together, can we agree that Rudy should spend the off season in France, hand milking cows so that his hands get stronger?

good point, and his waist is like chest level for many nba players. if he brings the ball down at all after catching or before going up, it's in plain sight and easily reachable.

I think part of this is on his teammates. They need to realize that a low pass to Rudy is a bad pass. In the same way that you shouldn't throw Neto a lob you shouldn't throw Rudy a bounce pass. Chances are it will end in a turnover.

I don't agree with Quin's decision to not play Favors in the last 2-3 minutes. Booker did his job in the 4th quarter but there was no need to keep him on the court till the end.

I wonder if Favors is still not quite right, not only was he subbed out in the fourth, he was subbed out earlier in the game after he carried the jazz for a short segment. He only had 5 shots and 3 or 4 rebounds...is the knee bugging him?

The Spurs went small most of the game. The Jazz had to match because everyone off the Spurs bench was on fire shooting from midrange and behind the arc.

Maybe favors was hurting?

True, but Booker is almost null on defense. Booker has been a big factor yesterday but I would have played Favors in the last 2-3 minutes.

I disagree, it is not a no-brainer. The two players have different strengths but more importantly they are used very differently. If I were coach I would pick Favors over Aldridge, but I also would make sure that Favors had more than 5 shots.

Switch Favors with Aldridge and the Spurs become worse and the Jazz get better. You guys would probably already have a playoff spot on lock with LMA leading the way.

I disagree again. LMA did not want to shoot it down the stretch last night, he is not a scorer, he is a volume shooter who has about the same percentages as Favors, LMA just shoots more. LMA would get fewer touches with the Jazz and would not impact the game defensively the way Favors does(Favors and Gobert work together because Favors can effectively switch the PNR on 1-5), so it would be a net loss for the Jazz.

On the Spurs, there is no lack of offensive talent, infact the offense might be better if instead of 15 long 2pt shots per night the pf/c is only taking 5-8 shots from the key or the baseline. Plus Favors defense would fit right in, a net gain for the Spurs.

Personally I think it would be 6s for both teams. Jazz might be better this season with LA simply because he played in more games. We would be a lock already if Favors hadnt had the back issue that kept him out way to long. Injuries kept us from the 5 seed combined with really bad luck in close games. Plus the 2 minute report hates us.
