I'm sorry, I got the size of your brain wrong. You have a single grain of rice brain.
this team might just suck.
- Thread starter yamers
- Start date
Come on bro don't make the clown.
So for you the Jazz should continue with the same starting lineup?
I ask your opinion since you watch every game and you are a basketball expert.

The Jazz' starting lineup could use with an improvement, but there's no one on the bench that makes the starting lineup better except for Crowder in for Favors in particular matchups.
Start Exum and let's see what he can bring on the table, at this point there is nothing to lose in starting Exum.
When a player is inconsistent and plays poorly for different games, he should lose his starter status.

I'm an Exum homer and I think it's worth trying out Exum with the starting unit a little bit more when the schedule lightens to see what he can do with them, as in very limited minutes (like 15) the lineup of Exum/Mitchell/Ingles/Crowder/Gobert is a +18.2 per 100, but I don't think he should be starting or getting to play anywhere near starters minutes right now. I'd be willing to wager that these minutes have only come from when Exum closed some games early in the season when he was playing well. The Favors/Gobert lineups aren't that great, but the Jazz' most played lineup of Rubio/Mitchell/Ingles/Crowder/Gobert is a +13.7 per 100 in 216 minutes this season. That's a pretty ****ing good differential, it's just that when the Jazz have to dip into their bench unit or try to play Favors and Gobert together that they really struggle, the starting lineup with Crowder in is pretty elite.
Fun fact though in Exum's defense; Raul Neto doesn't feature in a single lineup that has a positive +/- differential per 100. The best lineup he's in has a zero point differential and that is Neto/Exum/Ingles/Crowder/Favors.

Unfortunately we can say that the team played somewhat great yet still lost, many times this season. At what point do you say well that's not enough to run a pretty weave at the top, find a decent shot, but cannot finish the play. We lack the talent to do what is probably one of the most important things in basketball. Put the damn ball in the basket. I will not be praising anybody tonight outside of Favors. Nobody should be happy with the performance tonight. Especially when you have more free throws, significantly more shots, half the turnovers. They had 22? Holy...

We don't suck but we are a major disappointment. The silver lining to this latest disappointing loss is that we should see that we have to upgrade Rubio. I hate picking on him, but the guy simply isn't good enough to take us where we all expect to be.
He was not good at any aspect of basketball tonight. That's pretty freaking hard to do.

An atom sized brain
So they played really good besides hitting shots but no one should be happy with their defensive effort, their effort on rebounds, and their aggressiveness getting to the FT line?
OK.
You are sly eh...you deflect the attention from this ugly loss insulting me.
