Still crazy that we win a game and basically shutdown Jordan then he has a good game and our response is the guy who has barely been with the team, is undersized, and has played 53 minutes in the nba is a better option than what we have done. Fans are unbelievably stupid sometimes.

It's weird how you think people are saying to play bolomboy over our other bigs and that he is our best option.

What I see people saying is that if their bigs are killing us then maybe give bolomboy a shot for a few minutes and see what happens. Even if just to hack a deandre.

I repeat D-LEAGUE. Not ALL-STAR. D-LEAGUE. All of his translatable skills landed him in the D-LEAGUE and netted him a whopping 50 minutes of actual game-time. The comparison to Almond is not that far off base. Unrealized potential is the mantle worn by pretty much all D-league "stars".


I just hope everyone isn't trying to pin our hopes on a d-league player who can't get off the bench even in garbage time during the regular season. Have we really fallen so far?



Again, as I have already state, put him in and let him smack DJ around some. Would be fun to watch if nothing else.

There are better comparisons im sure that can be made. The Dleague isnt a negative thing. Its just an unknown.
Almond is an example of Dleague points not translating. There is a valid argument about volume shooters for sure. I think it also shows
you why we should have a lot more faith in Bolomboy. His impact comes from other things. and his icing his is possible 3 point, scoring ability.

Go back and watch the Golden State and OKC road games. Small sample size but
in two tough arenas he made an impact on the game and had a positive + rating.

This is all moot because unless we release Withey Bolomboy wont see the floor if the game is close, but we can and should debate how he is used.
It's why we are here on jazzfanz.
 
I'm a huge Bolomboy homer and was joyous when we drafted him. I wouldn't mind seeing him enter the game and guard Griffin (mainly because JB would likely make him cry, just as Booker did) but I feel Bolomboy would have trouble guarding DJ based on weight and wingspan differences.

Favors' body is obviously being held together with hopes prayers and duct tape. The dude is broken. We can only hope it isn't permanent for future seasons. But right now he is NOT up to the task, physically. I counted 6 separate times that someone drove to the basket with him FACING AND WATCHING THEM and he didn't even make a move to contest. It was not "help" situations, it was not that he was caught off guard. 6 times in which, if he had been fully healthy, he would have probably ended up with at least 2 blocks and 4 altered shots. Instead they got 6 dunks/lay-ups. He isn't well. But I give him full credit for getting out there on half a leg and doing what he can to stop the bleeding. But it just frankly isn't enough. It has nothing to do with heart, just a broken down body at this point.

Disagree. A lot of it was indecision. It started with them feeding DeAndre so the Jazz hung back on pnr to dissuade the lob. That opened up some driving lanes. The Jazz will look at the tape and improve. The Clippers adjusted to the jazz defensive scheme with Favors after game 1 and exploited it in the 1st quarter, after that we improved and won the other 3 quarters. Sad how people are overreacting rn.

exactly.

And we know bolomboy has not been prepped enough for this roll in the playoffs. He wasnt in their plans this year as a rotation player.
So if he was used now it would not be under the best circumstances. I think if anything he could play a few minutes if our bigs are getting bullied.

My argument is what his roll should have been this year leading to this moment. Withey was never worthwhile to me other than a end of the bench big.

lol, and so true. We saw him give it all in game 1, and it just made me miss the old Favors more.

He may come out and have a good game 3, but its the game two days later I worry about.

The poll is based on our current state. Favors is hobbled. Withey so average it hurts. Gobert injured. Diaw not a strong defender.
An athletic rookie with plus defensive potential is something we should debate. Of course its not the best circumstance.

I dont see Favors as being "hobbled". I dont think he is 100% of what he is at his peak, but I think it's more just playing out of position in a role he has never been great at against a type of player he has never been great against.
