Is the Tank Back On?

We do have the hardest schedule in the NBA, so that sucks.

All the bad teams in the West are going to have the hardest SOS in the West since SOS is based off last year.

We were the worst team in the West last year, so we never have to play the worst team in the West (ourselves). So the stat is kind of misleading if you think we are better than anyone in the West.
 
Who ever said the tank was off?


The talking heads don't pick you last or second last because you've turned a corner.
 
I was so pumped to get Quin Snyder. I thought he would be so much better than TyCo. I thought he would be different...more intelligent...just plain old better.
But guess what? He did the same damn thing that Corbin always did. He relied too heavily on the vets. The young guys got very little burn because Q is a vet lover.

I mean, veteran Trey Burke got 38 minutes. 38 FREAKING MINUTES!!! While rookie Dante Exum only got 10 minutes.
Veteran Gordan Hayward also got 38 minutes. Rookie Joe Ingles only got 4 minutes. FOUR MINUTES. How the hell is Ingles supposed to develop with just four minutes?


Ugh....looks like we are in for another long *** year.

The guys he gave minutes to are still relatively young. My concern is the apparent lack of bench strength other than Booker and Gobert. Perhaps the two guys claimed on waivers will help. I think Dante should have gotten more of a run but this was a lot like last year when the team would be in a nip and tuck game and bottom would just fall out. I was also a bit concerned during the preseason that it seems like a lot of guys got sent packing without seeing if they were contributors or not on the floor like Cooley, Motum, Felix (remember he was hurt in the scrimmage), Kevin Murphy and Bost.

It's okay homey. Sarcasm is difficult to perceive in writing amongst near strangers. It might help if you go to the "Settings" tab at the upper right hand side of this page, in your settings select the "Show Sarcasm text in red" button. That should sharpen your old knife.
 
I don't like negging anyone, but a couple of people in here are practically begging for it.

Yep. I'm not always big on looking at the box score, but I did watch the game and it looked pretty even, except for the 3's. The box score confirmed that; rebounds, assists, TO's, fouls, etc. - all very even with Houston. The difference is they made shots and Utah didn't.

Houston HAS the inside-out game Quin is trying to develop in Utah. I liked the game Derrick had. Hated the shooting by Hayward and Burke. I know it's just one game (to paraphrase that great philosopher, Tyrone Corbin), but these two need to shoot better than they did. One surprise for me was the DNP by Novak. Guess Hood and Booker have played him out of a job.
