Of all the Jazz injuries this year, why can't Mack get hurt?

Mack LOST the Jazz the Raptors game single handedly.

Ridiculous!!! Even after he'd thrown the ball away for a turnover in the fourth leading to Ingles being inserted, Hood and Hayward couldn't bury open shots and Ingles got stripped by Lowery who then blew by him for an easy lay up. Actually, Mack was doing a good job neutralizing Lowery in the first half and was out-playing him offensively. Very sloppy game for the Jazz down the stretch and Mack was only a small part of the story of our collapse.

Problem is that once Lowry turned it on, Mack couldn't handle him, and I think it affected his offense in the 4th, so that he made some bad plays, two turnovers in a row when we were still ahead. I think that would've been a good time to put in Dante. In any case, we can't have Mack and Ingles as our main perimeter defenders in the 4th quarter. We won't beat any elite teams that way.

and Dante isn't doing much better if at all. He's fouling everyone he guards so I wouldn't expect much better against someone like Lowry.

WE ARE MISSING OUR STARTING PG WHO PLAYS GOOD DEFENSE, IS CALM AND EXPERIENCED, AND HAS A PER OF 25.95 ON THE SEASON. Of course when we don't have him we're going to struggle at that position.

Well, Mack was pretty much helpless and hopeless at that point. It seemed to me that Dante's length bothered Lowry a bit.
 
Mack played great, but at teh end of the day he is a bench player and you cant expect him to keep up with a guy like Lowry for a full game, especially when the refs blow the whistle if you breathe on him.
 
Mack an Ab for Rondo... What would we gain and what would we lose. Would he kill the team chemistry?

He's already got a terrible attitude about coming off the bench, how's he going to feel getting traded and coming off the bench again behind Hill?

I imagine he would see Hill as an equal.
I know it's a silly idea of a trade . I've been a big Rondo fan for awhile before I found the Jazz.I think he could help Exum and Neto along as well to compliment Hill's mentoring.

I had to scratch my head with the substitution of Ingles for Mack, you're right that Exum would have been the better choice. Neto would have been a better choice than Ingles. I mean I like that guy but he's simply not quick enough to cover Lowry. And let's not forget that Mack had a solid game until he got a little rattled in the fourth, scoring nine of our first fifteen points and finishing with seven of nine shooting.

Are you insane ?? Rondo is junk and a head case. He'll be lucky to get another contract when his current one is up
