This!He's smarter than the avererage bear.
Memphis is a rugged team so Corbin plays Milsap and Big Al much more minutes than Favors, Kanter and Evans who'll be ready for a fast Golden State team tommorow.
Burks got extended minutes as well because the 2 position on Memphis wasn't amazing today, but tomorrow that position will be tough to guard and a fresh set of CJ legs should do the trick.
Ty's defensive philosophy is playing well too. The only problem is minutes for Bell and Evans. Bell needs horshoe minutes and Evans needs horse minutes
This!
GS is a team that likes to get out and run. Favors matches up better against Biedrins then he does against Gasol. And I believe you're right about CJ. He'll be more efffective against GS. In my mind, Ty has done a pretty good job distributing minutes and trying to look at current and next game match-ups. Every team is going to struggle with the condensed schedule. Teams with depth, in which the top 6-7 are willing to reduce their minutes some games, are going to fare better comabating the fatigue factor. I expect the Jazz may be able to win a few games with their expanded bench. That was certainly the case against Memphis, with a 41-11 advantage, I think.
However, if the Jazz loses to GS, do the "fire TY" threads get bumped to the top?
With the season starting out with six games in eight nights, Ty has done a good job with minutes. We all know Bell has lost a few steps, but I think starting him out is the only way we could use him. He does play smart D and if we give too many minutes to Burks, it could hurt his development. I also like what he is doing with Kanter. Obviously, Kanter isn't ready for huge minutes, but bringing him in and having him focus on rebounding has helped Kanter get some minutes.
If we make the playoffs, Ty could be...(get ready for it) COACH OF THE YEAR!!!!
I think Harris could play minutes at SG. Yes, too much for Burks may not be a good thing.
But Bell just needs to be benched, he is useless. He kind of reminds me of Adam Keefe on offense: cannot dribble, shoot, drive, or pass. In other words, he can do nothing on offense. Getting behind by 10 points every first quarter of 4 on 5 is getting really really old.
If Ty is a turd, he smells a lot better than some posters here.
I'm not getting the Raja hate today. He made some nice plays last night. Bell is still the worst wing on the team but he had his best effort so far against the Griz.

I think Bell still plays pretty good defense if he isn't matched up against someone with supreme athletic ability and talent.
