Game Thread: Indiana/Utah

Why wasn't Dante in for the last few defensive possessions of the game?

Why wasn't Kanter in when the Jazz needed a bucket to bring the game back?

Those are my two biggest questions from this game.
 
The problem is Trey's 3 pointers are wide open and basically all catch and shoot shots. We need those buckets.

Please cite one fantasy trade I have EVER suggested that would never happen? Go ahead, look back through any thread dating back to last season or the previous one (or the one before that)? Waiting...waiting...

Utah does not have a third PG. But they DO have a roster spot. C'mon...A.J. freaking Price was just picked up off waivers and KILLED Trey and Utah. Jazz need to use their roster spot to bring in another PG. Cut Trey's minutes to 15/per at most. There is NO WAY in HELL he should be playing 36 mins. At some point (pun intended), Lindsey has to treat Trey like a "sunk cost." Burke was a huge swing and miss at #9. He's a bust: can't defend, can't shoot, doesn't get to the rim with any regularity. He just doesn't do anything very well. Oh, that's right...he's "clutch" inside 5 minutes.

FWIW, Price did just about as much of his damage on Exum as he did on Burke. But I don't see you calling him out. Like I said, unfortunately, we don't have a better option than Trey right now, and I doubt we're going to find one just sitting around on the streets.
 
Enes Kanter was 4/4 when defended by Hibbert... If he can fix his TO problems and increase his bb IQ, he could develop into a player, who is very hard to defend by anyone.
 
Gordon Hayward is shooting 71 % from midrange since the start of the season. Thats impressive...

This has baffled me. Trey has made defensive improvements this season, and is navigating screens far better than Dante.

He's getting the team into the offense, moving the ball appropriately, and taking open shots. They're just not going in. Yes, that may mean he won't ever be a particularly effective starter in the league, but the vitriol seems misplaced to me.
 
Marvin Williams > Booker

Bana da sorsalar

Anam genel forummuş. :D


I would choose Marvin too. More skilled talent wise. But right now, Booker plays like he has the world to prove. And this is everything when you are on court. So I think I would always love to have players that have the fire to win like Demarre Carroll, Trevor Booker or Al Jefferson.
