Jazz @ Grizzlies 6:00pm (MST) on ESPN

[Aneurism]

The **** you talking about?

Right arm grabbed easy foul

The grab seemed to me to be mostly contact on ball and hand. Either way there will be plenty of games where it could go either way like this and we will get some that go our way and some that don't.

The problem is that it shouldn't have come down to relying on a call at the end of the game for the win. We need to reduce the scoreless stretches and lapses on defense.

Regardless I think Mitchell needs to work on putting the ball down like that.

This isn’t really relevant but I want Joe back in the starting lineup. Him off the bench is pointless. Him playing with Mudiay is pointless. He’s already getting the toughest defensive assignment. Just put him back in the lineup. We play our best lineup only a couple minutes per game.

It's worth a shot but I'm not sure that's the issue. There is likely an adjustment to that lineup as well since he will be the clear 5th option and he hasn't played that role in quite some time.

Honestly for as well as Mudiay is playing, his overall shot-quality is garbage and has tunnel vision. The backup PG duties should be split between Joe and Mitchell. Neither Exum nor Mudiay are a threat off the ball which kind of forces it into their hands.

Man, I just keep going back to Jeff Green, he was clearly the worst player out there today, yet he had the highest minutes of all the bench players, with 21.

Could we not have had Dante come in for 3 or 4 minutes to see whether he can make even the slightest of differences?

Couldn’t have made the bench effort worse that’s for sure.

 

[Dali]

Couldn’t have made the bench effort worse that’s for sure.

1 rebound and 2 points in 21 minutes.

As you say, surely he wouldn't have been worse than Jeff.

This! And I would add that him playing with Bradley is pointless.

 

[JazzyFresh]

Shoulda got Melo.

It's pretty obvious to me whose minutes Exum should take--Jeff Green. He's a flakey defender, mostly a non-rebounder and an inefficient scorer. Playing Exum at the 3 and moving Ingles to the 4 to give Exum minutes won't hurt the team one bit.

If Exum plays well which he does about 30% of the 50% of the games he actually plays in. Otherwise, even bum-*** Uncle Jeff at least has to be guarded off the ball.

Mudiay
Mitchell/Exum
Exum/Bogey(if DM is not in)
Ingles

On the season we allow 86.1 shot attempts per game. Grizz tonight, 95.
