Remember when a bunch of us were using +/- stats to argue that THT was terrible?

Well now, after 14 games, with a bigger sample size, you know who the worst +/- player for the Jazz is?:

Jarred Vanderbilt (and Rudy Gay is somehow second best in total +/- and tops in per possession +/-; and THT has moved into the top 5 per possession among rotation players).

(still way too small sample size to really say anything much; +/- stats are only sometimes valuable over even a whole season)

Garbage stat for individual players, unless anybody wants to argue that Rudy Gay is having a great season.

Uh oh, we lost a game and the tank birds are starting to chirp up again

Since I'm the only one who's posted anything that can remotely be interpreted in this light, I'll just say I'm definitely, definitely not a "tank bird." I'm sure I've had HH and Numberica fuming at me several times this offseason and early season with my posts about how ineffective tanking is as a general strategy.

Let's just take the ups and the downs in good humor this year. Whatever happens, we're in a great position this season.

Vandy is shooting 50% from 3. Just park him in the right side corner.

He's only taking one 3 a game though, and nobody is going to respect his shot enough to bother to guard him out there, which will continue to clog the paint like it did tonight when he was in the game.

There is no need for us to tank. However, the timberwolves and worst of nets/76ers/rockets pick could be useful under certain circumstances.

This is a game where it wasn't so bad that we lost since it keeps the Wizards ahead of the nets and 76ers. Basically so long as we beat the nets, 76ers, rockets and timberwolves, I don't mind if we drop a couple of games here or there experimenting or trying new things.

However, I'm not really a fan of going full tank mode and it would disappoint me if we did. Also playing well helps to increase the trade value of our guys if we need to move people.
