Game thread: jazz play a game in a couple of hours, the Timberpups edition.

Are you talking to me?
I was directly addressing his statement that "Favors lack of passion for the game is not a news....I'm not first to say it and neither the last!", and worded it the same way in order to emphasize that.
In fact, I very briefly considered putting quotes around "neither the last", but I'm guessing English isn't his first language and elected not to make an issue of his grammar.
Doesn't work. Jazzfanz is where your mistakes are forever. Those fracts won't go as well. Always there to remind what you have done.

First off, I have to give credit to Trey. He had a fantastic night and kept Utah in the game. Only a couple of questionable shot attempts; everything else was solid. Led the team in attempts, but he was the one being left open - and he took it to the rim. Hayward even passed up one shot and threw it the guy (Trey) who had the hot hand. Great unselfish play by Gordon.
Jazz fought hard, and just like the Philly game, they "buckled up" (or is that down?) and finished strong. Rudy and Dante completely disappeared. But Favs, Gordon and Trey stepped it up. And Enes with a double-double and a great steal. He read that pass all the way and timed it perfectly. Nice finish, too. I think he actually stepped on the players foot with his first step as he began to go up.

So, to bring back an observation I have often argued against - but it seems to fit here - exactly what is the Jazz' record when Kanter starts and Favors doesn't play? Go back to last season as well. If your argument is that Favors doesn't play winnuing basketball but Kanter does, you better rethink that argument. Favors is not going to take over games. He's not a 1-on-1 player. Favors and Kanter have nearly identical per36 numbers for both scoring and rebounding. And I think we'd all agree Favors is the better defender. Both had key plays late in the game tonight.
And please explain to me why either Favors or Kanter has to be traded. Is there a rule against having three good bigs who play around 32 mins each, depending on matchups, foul trouble and effectiveness?

I don't know if that necessarily says, "Look how good Favors is" or "Look how bad our depth is".
I never said that Kanter plays winning baskestball so what are you talking about? Anyway your observation is superficial.
In my opinion a team like the Jazz can't afford to pay two bigs more than $12 million per year if none of them is an All-Star. Especially after the Burks new contract.
Well you did kind of point out that its decision time for the Jazz and they have to trade Favors or Kanter (for some reason). When you combine that with your outspoken belief that Favors isn't a winner and isn't passionate about basketball, it doesn't take much to connect the dots.

why does it have to be about Kanter, again?
He provided 14/12 in 25 minutes.
Why wouldn't we, as Jazzfanz, enjoy the effing W.
Thank you.
