I like how people are calling Rubio garbage when Rose was being guarded by Exum more than Rubio was.
Here's some more facts:
Donovan was absolute trash in the first half.
Rose hasn't scored more than 40 points in 7 years.
We were bound to lose a ROAD game
It's only 6 games in and we arent 1-5 like the Rockets or 2-4 like the Thunder or 3-5 like the Lakers
We had PLENTY of opportunities to win the game. We missed 3 free-throws in the last minute. Our best shot with 20 seconds left was a running fade-away hook shot by Rudy (LOL) and we missed 2 wide open threes with 10 seconds left by Jae and Joe

He isn't garbage... his game last night was doe.

We did not lose singularly because of him or any of the mistakes you mention... but if we split the blame pie up Ricky gets a good portion.

No, like Dante is capable of doing one thing on offense and that's it. He can't play in the half-court at all.

And he hasnt been better than Rubio all year. Rubio had a 28 point 11 assist game.

He has played ok in the half court. I have seen him blow by the defense and get into the paint a bunch of times and often he makes a nice pass after getting into the paint.

I guess it depends on the quality, but saltwater taffy is great.

I hate all candy like that. Gets stuck in my teeth and never breaks down. Just a big glob.
I really only like chocolate based candy. Dont like skittles, starburst, etc.

With the emergence of niang i think the jazz would be better off playing favors strictly as a backup center. Crowder, niang, and thabo could and should be the power forward rotation.

I don't think the Jazz will do it but it would definitely be the best thing for the team. I wish we never would have re-signed Favors. I get that he's a really good insurance policy in case Rudy gets hurt but he just doesn't work at PF at all, it's just a terrible fit.
 
I'm of the opinion if Butler plays we probably win the game. With him out everyone feels they have something to prove and they aren't second guessing every shot wondering how Butler will react. He probably would have gotten his but Towns and Rose don't do nearly as good as they did. It will be interesting to see what happens when we play them again if he's still there.
 
Keeping Favors reeks of a Gail move. Getting him on a one-year (with team option) seems like a Lindsey move.

So ready to move on. Hopefully Favors lands in a good situation far from here.
 
I'm not worried, we took one of the best punches the T-Wolves could throw (everyone playing with a chip from Jimmy Butler sitting, Derek Rose exploding for the team that waived him last year, and them shooting near 50% from 3) and we lost by 3, on the road. Jazz shoot their average on FTs and we win this game.

Such is life. Now if we lay another egg against the Grizzlies tomorrow, at home, I'll be more upset than last night.

D.rose had an absurd career game to win and KAT was also on fire. Jimmy Butler being out hurts but you won't see rose dropping another 50 anytime soon...it was a fluke game tbh. The jazz lost by 3 points with rubio playing like dookie.

The duck is actually talking sense for a change
