Rockets @ Jazz - 7PM MST Wednesday- FSN

Watson was incredible. He was 1 rebound and 2 assists short of a Triple Double. When Deron comes back I hope he follows Watson's lead and picks up the pace a little bit.

Yes....

Since we were doing so well with Deron at the helm...

Do we really have such short memories? This team was losing WITH Deron starting.

Deron is no doubt a lot better than Price. But to think that Deron is going to somehow turn these losses into wins is completely absurd. I don't think there's one game that we would have won had Deron played. Even last night. Watson had a great game and did two things that Deron never does, rebound and take care of the ball.

i think we will take our chances with DWill playing. Price needs to see a shrink I believe :)

So you want Watson to start over Williams?
 
You still don't want Earl shooting the 3 with the shot clock running out and you need a basket. That is not his strength.
 
I like Price. He has a purpose, but that's playing situational minutes. He has NBA short-man disease (no offense, Rikki), in that he tries to be spectacular all the time. Nate Robinson also has it. Rather than making the simple play, they go for the highlight play. More than 10 minutes of Ronnie Price and the team is in trouble. Put Price in the game when the team needs a shot of energy and good things usually happen, but Sloan needs to pull him after he makes his first good play because he's going to force a second attempt at the highlight reel.

Nate can shoot. Ronnie cannot. Ronnie has no serious NBA skills. Too short, no shooting, no PG skills = non-NBA or end of the bench playing only when absolutely necessary. What do the Jazz do? Keep him for 3 years and give him some good minutes.

Another solid post by the Jazzfanz resident belly man.
 
Lots of people have already commented on Sloan's choices so no need to bring up rotations or minutes.

My question/comment is the SG position. Price and Bell were the primary 2's playing against Kmart, who is one of the best scores in the NBA. Stopping him is tough for every team. Yet the BIG knock on Martin is his D. He will never be the superstar because he refuses to play D, or at least that's what the smart guys on tv say. Why is it then that we got a combined 6 points from our SG? We got a combined 28 out of our SF's who were up against one of the best defenders in Battier. I don't get it.

did you watch the la vs. rockets game?
he locked down kobe 3 times in a row to end the fourth.
he isn't nearly as bad as people make him and his shooting touch and foul drawing abilities more than make up for what flaws he has.
