Taylor Hendricks with a team high plus 10 in his 17 minutes.
Didn't expect that to be the case

Thanks to Svi. Taylor had 0 PTS, 0 AST, 0 STL, 0 BLK, 7 REB

Okay, didn’t realize that it had been that bad. I’ve always liked his length, his energy and his shot mechanics. Apparently Hardy sees something in him as well.

He looked fantastic tonight. Played hard and shot the F out of the ball and even made nice passes.
But there is a reason the jazz are the 8th team he has played for as a 28 year old who entered the league at 21 years old.
7 year career and 8 different teams usually means you are not very good.

To his credit though, he has stayed in the league the whole time and now appears to have found a home possibly with a coach who loves him.

Thurl is WCJ's biggest fan.

Ya like I said, I didn't expect that to be the case. But he obviously didn't hurt the team with a bunch of mistakes and 7 boards in 17 minutes is good. Saw him play some good defense as well.

Thought Walt might have played his best game of the season.
Looked good out there

 

[fishonjazz]

Flip might have had his worst game of the season

Detroit doesn't shoot well enough to actually go far as a playoff team, imo. Cade looks good though.

Nurk 6 PTS, 17 REB(3 ORB), 4 AST, 4 STL, 1 BLK in 33 MIN

Thank goodness we picked him up. Only rebounder on the team now.

He was already gassed in Boston. Tonight he fumbles with the ball few times unlike in any of six first games. That high minutes probably signals Hardy is dumb. Lauri hasn't advanced on ball skills and bases his game on movement. He can't average 37minutes w/o his production taking real bumps.

Yeah, don't over use Lauri. We aren't trying to win much. There is no reason to gas him and increase his risk of injury.

Anyone know if Collier is truly benched or if he’s not actually healthy? 2nd game in a row he’s a “healthy” scratch.

I don't care what anyone says, I hate that we play Svi the second or third most minutes a night. I want to see the young guys play. I do not care if we lose by 40. Hendricks and Ace should both be getting 25 minutes a game at minimum. We do not want to watch Svi get 37 minutes a night.

I think a coach typically wants to get a player a full practice before putting them in a game. He's cleared to play from the doctors though.
