Great game tonight... driving lanes seemed more open and Ricky went Rick Curry in Q1 when the offense looked like dog **** to start the game. Great work everyone.

SPACING SPACING SPACING (sorry for yelling). raul could really help with grayson (whose defense looked much better tonight other than getting beat backdoor by justin jackson).
 
To me Ricky has been a huge X factor in our success. When he was on during the second half of last year we were elite. When he is attacking, hitting the 3, and not turning over the ball he is the difference maker.

Really want to see Exum start to explode and have a monster season. If he and Ricky can get hot I think we'll become that team we've been dreaming about.

Otherwise #tankforzion or that Japanese kid.

What would count as a career game for Grayson? 10 points?

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure he earned more confidence from the coach and in himself for hitting those timely 3s in the game. I'd say that was a good career night for him, even if the point total wasn't off the charts.

Also, I said earlier the Jazz would blow them out, I had them at 18 over but was off by only a few points.

If we didn't have Rubio, Exum, Mitchell, O'Neale, Burks and now Neto all playing, Grayson would be getting some minutes. There just aren't that many minutes to go around.

If we traded Burks and kept Neto only for emergencies, Grayson would get more minutes and it would be the best thing for both his and our long term interests. I think he could become a good player if we could give him 10 minutes or more per night. We desperately need the shooting.

I've been telling people the bolded all season on other message boards. utah was both the best and worst place for him to be drafted. best for his overall development and style of offense, but worst in that he was going to have a big battle for minutes given the guard/wing depth. guys like divincenzo, huerter, shamet, and to some extent okogie haven't had to battle as much for minutes w/ less competition at their positions and more freedom to **** up. other guys in a similar position to allen are jerome robinson, troy brown, aaron holiday, and chandler hutchison but even they don't have the amount of guard depth ahead of them that G has save for maybe holiday (who is really good).

exum is who needs to go. i actually don't mind the depth of burks + allen as primary backup combo guards/wings b/c they both provide different but dynamic scoring ability. i wish quin would play them together more often; they played really well off of each other in preseason. they are also better fits next to mitchell than ricky if ricky isn't making shots. neto is a better shooter and passer than exum and should be primary backup PG. neto + allen together gave really good minutes and spacing last night as well.
