Butler looked so much better tonight than he did with the Stars over the weekend.

quins substitution pattern is the same. butler taken out when he's hot is the same as what he do with Clarkson

Not sure playing Gay 36 minutes was a good call.

Both teams were in a bit of a pickle tonight. Rotations, lineups, shot selection - everything was just off.

Both teams played really hard, and the Jazz just ran up against the best team in clutch situations in a close game.

Hard to ask anything more from them on the 2nd night of a B2B.

I still think Dok could have outperformed Whiteside tonight. He was so damn lazy on most possessions.

Dok just as lazy and has less IQ

He was great… only saw the second half. Had one eff up on defense I saw and one dumb pass… but looked like he was just playing and not scared.

Must be hard to play well when Quin Dahmer has your nuts in a jar.

When Hughes lost that rebound out of bounds off the FT the camera panned to Quin and you can just tell he hates Hughes. Felt the same way with Butler too. Those dudes just aren't allowed to make mistakes even if they are the two most offensively talented deep bench guys Utah has.

It must be brutal for those guys to watch Clarkson have some of the most unearned freedom in the NBA.

JB got yanked after the and 1. I think they were supposed to switch everything… but he did stay with the ball handler well and it was a soft screen… but gets yanked.

It’s not the kind of environment the kids can learn in and Ive seen JC make some of the dumbest defensive plays ever… complete lack of focus… and obviously he gets to make infinity mistakes on shot selection.

It truly sucks because you can see that JB can get wherever he wants and can make some great passes. The shot will come… there is enough history from college to know that… when it does he will be great. You’d think a coach would see that rare skill and want to feed it rather than neuter it.

It’s a dig at his normal rotation, but if Quin really wants it to resonate, start benching guys and limiting minutes.

True but Gay can't go 36. He's too damn old for that. Paschall only had 25 min.

Still not sure how Butler is supposed to learn how to play with good players when he's with the worst team in the G-League but I'm pretty sure he can learn if he isn't forced to play short, random, and terrified minutes.

Despite that, had the second-best +/- on the team.

Don't worry, Quin will back to his rigid rotations and Butler will be back in the g-league to further his education soon enough.

He should have done this a long time ago. Our younger guys need minutes anyways so he has an excuse if he's too scared to hold them directly accountable.

We are up 95-91 with about ten minutes to play in the 4th and things really go sideways. I would note that three of our rotation guys were on the floor at the time. Probably Quin went to the system.

Trust the system. Never doubt the system. What the scrubs were doing was fine, for being off-system. But to really close this out we have to follow the system. Wait, we lost? That's ok, the system is bigger than one game. Following the system it will all level out in 3 or 4 games. The system is life.
