Same old issues

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Millsap did terrible when the game was actually in reach. He came in when it was a blowout and played hard. Everyone on LA was doing things lazily. Millsap got some hustle points, then Kobe came in and killed all hope at us making the score look like the game was competitive.

Millsap did terrible when the game was actually in reach.

Really? You mean in the first quarter, when the opposing PF (Murphy--technically LAL's backup, but formerly a starter) scored zero points, and Gasol scored only 3 points (all of FTs)?

He came in when it was a blowout and played hard.

Oh, you mean when it was 66-39 in third quarter, and Corbin had waited wayyyyyyy too long to take out Jefferson (and Bell, for that matter), extending a deficit from 11 points at half to 27 points, after AJ had gone scoreless in 8 minutes, and then PM proceeded to keep the point differential at the same level or better during the rest of Q3 and until he was subbed out in the middle of Q4, even after Gasol and Bryant came back in?

Not sure if you're trying to equalize the impact of Millsap or somehow be an apologist for Jefferson or Corbin (or just troll), but you have a very unorthodox way of doing so. Maybe your sig compels you to look for the pony in the pile of dung that Little Ty and Big Al laid tonight (and that PM and DF and even EK didn't, relatively speaking). The best in-game strategy against the Fakers was to give Jefferson 5 to 10 minutes' less time, starting when he wasn't being aggressive enough on offense and when he was dogging it on defense (he did both at times) and to hand those minutes to Favors or Kanter, who were far more deserving and had far more to gain.

why not Jeffersuck off the bench and Milsap starting?

Well, I know it is the first game but the Jazz looked like they did in Portland. I just hope that the Jazz coaching staff will realize that AJ, Harris, CJ, Bell are not the future. I hope that the young guys will mature faster and make the decision to totally rebuild easier to swallow for the organization.

Oh yea, CJ never will be an all-star. I know the organization thought he had the potential but he is really not good at anything.

Utah needs to maximize Al's trade value.

.....his trade value RIGHT now is 0......and the more he plays the lower it gets!
