Scoring Droughts

Yes, on offense we miss Kanter. In terms of wins we don't miss him at all. I mean AT ALL!!

Wins trumps personal stats.

Next thread.

Yep. There is no doubt we miss Kanter on offense. But less so now that Hood is starting. Before that we had Hayward as our lone shooter. Teams could completely ignore Exum and Ingles/Millsap and concentrate on shutting down Hayward on the perimeter and Favors inside. To take the next step, Jazz need to have a "Making" guard and a PG who can consistently hit shots from the outside. That will determine how good Utah becomes next season.

The bottom line is The Jazz needed help offensively before Kanter was traded and they need help now. Burks will help when he returns but if the goal is 50 wins next season they'll need more.

I find it humorous that when someone like Rudy, Kanter, Burks, and Burke's have poor games this board is all over them. Yet, Hayward and for the most part Favors are untouchable. You are considered trolling the board if you aren't infatuated with them. Then one day they will realize that Hayward is not as good as they continually project him to be they will be the first ones off the boat. Happened with Boozer. It happened with Dwill. It will happen with Hayward.

Most of us DO complain when any of those guys has a bad game. The game threads often say "Hayward is playing like ****," "What has happened to Rudy," etc. With Boozer it was his questionable injuries and recovery time, his lack of defense and attitude. We all loved DWill; the only concern was his non-committal to staying (i.e. lack of ANY encouraging statement in that respect) and then the disclosure he was not running plays that were called.

And where have you been the last two seasons? The dislike/hatred for Trey is rampant.

Surprised no one has posted the relevant stats:

The Jazz have scored 105.1 points per 100 possessions with Gordo on court, best among Jazz rotation players.
The Jazz have scored 95.5 points per 100 possessions with Gordo off court, worst among all Jazz players.

Any data to support your assertion that Gordo is on court for lots of droughts?
